[RFC v2 7/7] kprobes: port to linker table

From: Luis R. Rodriguez
Date: Fri Feb 19 2016 - 08:46:58 EST


kprobe makes use of two custom sections:

type name begin end
init.data _kprobe_blacklist __start_kprobe_blacklist __stop_kprobe_blacklist
text .kprobes.text __kprobes_text_start __kprobes_text_end

Port these to the linker table generic solution. This lets
us remove all the custom kprobe section declarations on the
linker script.

Tested with CONFIG_KPROBES_SANITY_TEST, it passes with:

Kprobe smoke test: started
Kprobe smoke test: passed successfully

Then tested CONFIG_SAMPLE_KPROBES on do_fork, and the
kprobe bites and kicks as expected. Lastly tried registering
a kprobe on a kprobe blacklisted symbol (NOKPROBE_SYMBOL()),
and confirms that fails to work.
