commit f66c0447cca1281116224d474cdb37d6a18e4b5b upstream. Set the unoptimized flag after confirming the code is completely unoptimized. Without this fix, when a kprobe hits the intermediate modified instruction (the first byte is replaced by an INT3, but later bytes can still be a jump address operand) while unoptimizing, it can return to the middle byte of the modified code, which causes an invalid instruction exception in the kernel. Usually, this is a rare case, but if we put a probe on the function call while text patching, it always causes a kernel panic as below: # echo p text_poke+5 > kprobe_events # echo 1 > events/kprobes/enable # echo 0 > events/kprobes/enable invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI RIP: 0010:text_poke+0x9/0x50 Call Trace: arch_unoptimize_kprobe+0x22/0x28 arch_unoptimize_kprobes+0x39/0x87 kprobe_optimizer+0x6e/0x290 process_one_work+0x2a0/0x610 worker_thread+0x28/0x3d0 ? process_one_work+0x610/0x610 kthread+0x10d/0x130 ? kthread_park+0x80/0x80 ret_from_fork+0x3a/0x50 text_poke() is used for patching the code in optprobes. This can happen even if we blacklist text_poke() and other functions, because there is a small time window during which we show the intermediate code to other CPUs.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
