From b7e37567d080301d38a302bb93ba79d1ca446dca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wang Nan Date: Tue, 10 Feb 2015 09:34:05 +0800 Subject: kprobes/x86: Mark 2 bytes NOP as boostable Currently, x86 kprobes is unable to boost 2 bytes nop like: nopl 0x0(%rax,%rax,1) which is 0x0f 0x1f 0x44 0x00 0x00. Such nops have exactly 5 bytes to hold a relative jmp instruction. Boosting them should be obviously safe. This patch enable boosting such nops by simply updating twobyte_is_boostable[] array.
