[PATCH 05/10] uprobes: Change handle_trampoline() to find the next chain beforehand

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Mon May 04 2015 - 08:50:04 EST


No functional changes, preparation.

Add the new helper, find_next_ret_chain(), which finds the first !chained
entry and returns its ->next. Yes, it is suboptimal. We probably want to
turn ->chained into ->start_of_this_chain pointer and avoid another loop.
But this needs the boring changes in dup_utask(), so lets do this later.

Change the main loop in handle_trampoline() to unwind the stack until ri
is equal to the pointer returned by this new helper.
