kprobes: Fix error check when reusing optimized probes
The following commit introduced a bug in one of our error paths: 819319fc9346 ("kprobes: Return error if we fail to reuse kprobe instead of BUG_ON()") it missed to handle the return value of kprobe_optready() as error-value. In reality, the kprobe_optready() returns a bool result, so "true" case must be passed instead of 0. This causes some errors on kprobe boot-time selftests on ARM: [ ] Beginning kprobe tests... [ ] Probe ARM code [ ] kprobe [ ] kretprobe [ ] ARM instruction simulation [ ] Check decoding tables [ ] Run test cases [ ] FAIL: test_case_handler not run [ ] FAIL: Test andge r10, r11, r14, asr r7 [ ] FAIL: Scenario 11 ... [ ] FAIL: Scenario 7 [ ] Total instruction simulation tests=1631, pass=1433 fail=198 [ ] kprobe tests failed This can happen if an optimized probe is unregistered and next kprobe is registered on same address until the previous probe is not reclaimed. If this happens, a hidden aggregated probe may be kept in memory, and no new kprobe can probe same address. Also, in that case register_kprobe() will return "1" instead of minus error value, which can mislead caller logic.
