The .noinstr.text section functions may not have "current()" sanely available. Similarly true for .entry.text, though such a check is currently redundant. Add a check for both. In an x86_64 defconfig build, the following functions no longer receive stackleak instrumentation: __do_fast_syscall_32() do_int80_syscall_32() do_machine_check() do_syscall_64() exc_general_protection() fixup_bad_iret() Suggested-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Alexander Popov <alex.popov@linux.com> Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>
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.
