[PATCH v2 tip/master 3/3] kprobes/x86: Disable optimizing on the function jumps to indirect thunk

From: Masami Hiramatsu
Date: Thu Jan 18 2018 - 11:15:55 EST


Since indirect jump instructions will be replaced by jump
to __x86_indirect_thunk_*, those jmp instruction must be
treated as an indirect jump. Since optprobe prohibits to
optimize probes in the function which uses an indirect jump,
it also needs to find out the function which jump to
__x86_indirect_thunk_* and disable optimization.

This adds a check that the jump target address is between
the __indirect_thunk_start/end when optimizing kprobe.
