On ia64 and ppc64, function pointers do not point to the entry address of the function, but to the address of a function descriptor (which contains the entry address and misc data). Since the kprobes code passes the function pointer stored by NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() to kallsyms_lookup_size_offset() for initalizing its blacklist, it fails and reports many errors, such as: Failed to find blacklist 0001013168300000 Failed to find blacklist 0001013000f0a000 [...] To fix this bug, use arch_deref_entry_point() to get the function entry address for kallsyms_lookup_size_offset() instead of the raw function pointer. Suzuki also pointed out that blacklist entries should also be updated as well. Reported-by:
