[PATCH v2 1/4] samples/kretprobes: Fix return value if register_kretprobe() failed

From: Tiezhu Yang <yangtiezhu@loongson.cn>
Date: 2021-10-26 01:52:00
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

Use the actual return value instead of always -1 if register_kretprobe()
failed.

E.g. without this patch:

 # insmod samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.ko func=no_such_func
 insmod: ERROR: could not insert module samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.ko: Operation not permitted

With this patch:

 # insmod samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.ko func=no_such_func
 insmod: ERROR: could not insert module samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.ko: Unknown symbol in module

Fixes: 804defea1c02 ("Kprobes: move kprobe examples to samples/")
