From e04977e0c0c1aa50d7d1ca1f172af587776040a3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk Date: Tue, 13 Sep 2016 13:15:07 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] livepatch/arm/x86: Check payload for for unwelcomed symbols. Certain platforms, such as ARM [32|64] add extra mapping symbols such as $x (for ARM64 instructions), or more interesting to this patch: $t (for Thumb instructions). These symbols are supposed to help the final linker to make any adjustments (such as add an veneer). But more importantly - we do not compile Xen with any Thumb instructions (which are variable length) - and if we find these mapping symbols we should disallow such payload.
