Kprobes has a counter 'nmissed', that is used to count the number of times a probe handler was not called. This generally happens when we hit a kprobe while handling another kprobe. However, if one of the probe handlers causes a fault, we are currently incrementing 'nmissed'. The comment in fault handler indicates that this can be used to account faults taken by the probe handlers. But, this has never been the intention as is evident from the comment above 'nmissed' in 'struct kprobe': /*count the number of times this probe was temporarily disarmed */ unsigned long nmissed; Signed-off-by: Naveen N.
