** Description changed:
- Description: uprobes: fix SIGSEGVs with setjmp/longjmp
+ == SRU Justification ==
+ This commit fixes SIGSEGVs with setjmp/longjmp.
Symptom:
Setting a user space return probe on a function that does not
return because of a longjmp call may cause SIGSEGV or SIGILL.
- Problem:
+ Problem:
Userspace can do whatever it wants with its stack. Especially
stack modifications performed with longjmp cannot be handled 100%
correctly within the uprobes kernel part, which may lead to user
space observed crashed.
- Solution:
+ Solution:
Implement arch_uretprobe_is_alive() which improves the situation
a lot and works for many situations.

+ == Regression Potential ==
+ Low. Limited to s390. The commit has also been cc'd to upstream
+ stable, so it has had additional upstream review.
+
+ == Test Case ==
+ A test kernel was built with this patch and tested by the original bug
reporter.
+ The bug reporter states the test kernel resolved the bug.
