From ded49c55309a37129dc30a5f0e85b8a64e5c1716 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anton Arapov Date: Wed, 3 Apr 2013 18:00:37 +0200 Subject: uretprobes: Limit the depth of return probe nestedness Unlike the kretprobes we can't trust userspace, thus must have protection from user space attacks. User-space have "unlimited" stack, and this patch limits the return probes nestedness as a simple remedy for it. Note that this implementation leaks return_instance on siglongjmp until exit()/exec(). The intention is to have KISS and bare minimum solution for the initial implementation in order to not complicate the uretprobes code. In the future we may come up with more sophisticated solution that remove this depth limitation. It is not easy task and lays beyond this patchset.
