[PATCH 06/12] powerpc/module: Rework is_early_mcount_callsite()

From: Michael Ellerman
Date: Wed Feb 24 2016 - 09:31:31 EST


is_early_mcount_callsite() needs to detect either the two instruction or
the three instruction versions of the _mcount() sequence.

But if we're running a kernel with the two instruction sequence, we need
to be careful not to read instruction - 2, otherwise we might fall off
the front of a page and cause an oops.

While we're here convert to bool to make the return semantics clear.
