[ Upstream commit 2a1a3fa0 ] An arm64 kernel configured with CONFIG_KPROBES=y CONFIG_KALLSYMS=y # CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL is not set CONFIG_KALLSYMS_BASE_RELATIVE=y reports the following kprobe failure: [ 0.032677] kprobes: failed to populate blacklist: -22 [ 0.033376] Please take care of using kprobes. It appears that kprobe fails to retrieve the symbol at address 0xffff000010081000, despite this symbol being in System.map: ffff000010081000 T __exception_text_start This symbol is part of the first group of aliases in the kallsyms_offsets array (symbol names generated using ugly hacks in scripts/kallsyms.c): kallsyms_offsets: .long 0x1000 // do_undefinstr .long 0x1000 // efi_header_end .long 0x1000 // _stext .long 0x1000 // __exception_text_start .long 0x12b0 // do_cp15instr Looking at the implementation of get_symbol_pos(), it returns the lowest index for aliasing symbols. In this case, it return 0. But kallsyms_lookup_size_offset() considers 0 as a failure, which is obviously wrong (there is definitely a valid symbol living there). In turn, the kprobe blacklisting stops abruptly, hence the original error. A CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL kernel wouldn't fail as there is always some random symbols at the beginning of this array, which are never looked up via kallsyms_lookup_size_offset. Fix it by considering that get_symbol_pos() is always successful (which is consistent with the other uses of this function).
