From 4363264111e1297fa37aa39b0598faa19298ecca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Olsa Date: Tue, 16 Sep 2025 23:52:57 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] uprobe: Do not emulate/sstep original instruction when ip is changed If uprobe handler changes instruction pointer we still execute single step) or emulate the original instruction and increment the (new) ip with its length. This makes the new instruction pointer bogus and application will likely crash on illegal instruction execution. If user decided to take execution elsewhere, it makes little sense to execute the original instruction, so let's skip it.
