[PATCH 0/2] x86: separating entry text section + kprobes fix

[Jiri Olsa]

hi,

while fixing the optimized kprobes issue, we found out that separating
the entry text section might have performance benefits with regards to
the instruction cache usage.

attached patches:
1/2 - x86: separating entry text section
2/2 - kprobes: disabling optimized kprobes for entry text section

wbr,
jirka
