Prohibit probing on the compiler generated CFI typeid checking code because it is used for decoding typeid when CFI error happens. The compiler generates the following instruction sequence for indirect call checks on x86; movl -<id>, %r10d ; 6 bytes addl -4(%reg), %r10d ; 4 bytes je .Ltmp1 ; 2 bytes ud2 ; <- regs->ip And handle_cfi_failure() decodes these instructions (movl and addl) for the typeid and the target address. Thus if we put a kprobe on those instructions, the decode will fail and report a wrong typeid and target address.

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.
