[PATCH 3/5 v2] x86/jump-label: Add safety checks to jump label conversions

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@xxxxxxxxxx>

As with all modifying of kernel text, we need to be very paranoid.

When converting the jump label locations to and from nops to jumps
a check has been added to make sure what we are replacing is what we
expect, otherwise we bug.
