[ Upstream commit ee6a7354a3629f9b65bc18dbe393503e9440d6f5 ]
Since MOV SS and POP SS instructions will delay the exceptions until the next instruction is executed, single-stepping on it by kprobes must be prohibited.
However, kprobes usually executes those instructions directly on trampoline buffer (a.k.a. kprobe-booster), except for the kprobes which has post_handler. Thus if kprobe user probes MOV SS with post_handler, it will do single-stepping on the MOV SS.
This means it is safe that if it is used via ftrace or perf/bpf since those don't use the post_handler.
Anyway, since the stack switching is a rare case, it is safer just rejecting kprobes on such instructions.
