Hi Andi and Andrew,
I found a bug of kprobes on x86_64.
I attached the fix of this bug.
Problem:
If we put a probe onto a callq instruction and the probe
is executed, kernel panic of Bad RIP value occurs.
Root cause:
If resume_execution() found 0xff at first byte of
p->ainsn.insn, it must check the _second_ byte.
But current resume_execution check _first_ byte again.
I changed it checks second byte of p->ainsn.insn.
Kprobes on i386 don't have this problem, because
the implementation is a little bit different from
x86_64.
