Pull kprobes/x86 fix from Masami Hiramatsu: - Fix to emulate indirect call which size is not 5 byte. Current code expects the indirect call instructions are 5 bytes, but that is incorrect. Usually indirect call based on register is shorter than that, thus the emulation causes a kernel crash by accessing wrong instruction boundary. This uses the instruction size to calculate the return address correctly. * tag 'probes-fixes-v6.7-rc8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: x86/kprobes: fix incorrect return address calculation in kprobe_emulate_call_indirect
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.
