commit24aa630f62upstream. The add_remove_uprobe test uses readelf -h to obtain the ELF entry point (e_entry) and passes it directly as the offset to uprobe_events. However, uprobe_events expects a file offset, not a virtual address. For PIE binaries, the virtual address happens to equal the file offset because the first LOAD segment has p_vaddr == p_offset, so the test works by coincidence. But for non-PIE executables, e_entry is an absolute virtual address that can far exceed the file size. When the probe is enabled, uprobe_register() checks offset > i_size_read(inode) and rejects it with -EINVAL. Fix this by converting the virtual address to a file offset using the ELF program headers: scan readelf -lW output for the LOAD segment containing the entry point, then compute file_offset = e_entry - p_vaddr + p_offset. For PIE binaries the result is unchanged; for non-PIE binaries the offset is correctly translated. The conversion uses only POSIX shell primitives, with no dependency on gawk or perl.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
