[PATCH v3 2/2] kprobes/x86: Check for invalid ftrace location in __recover_probed_insn()

From: Petr Mladek
Date: Fri Feb 20 2015 - 09:07:56 EST


__recover_probed_insn() should always be called from an address where
an instructions starts. The check for ftrace_location() might help to
discover a potential inconsistency.

This patch adds WARN_ON() when the inconsistency is detected. Also
it adds handling of the situation when the original code can not
get recovered.
