mainlining shenanigans
d9f5f32a7d
Since the kernel segment registers are not prepared at the entry of irq-entry code, if a kprobe on such code is jump-optimized, accessing per-CPU variables may cause a kernel panic. However, if the kprobe is not optimized, it triggers an int3 exception and sets segment registers correctly. With this patch we check the probe-address and if it is in the irq-entry code, it prohibits optimizing such kprobes. This means we can continue probing such interrupt handlers by kprobes but it is not optimized anymore.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
