[PATCH v2 tip/master 0/3] kprobes/x86: retpoline: Fix kprobes for retpoline

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Hi,

This is the 2nd version of the series to fix kprobes issues
on the kernel with CONFIG_RETPOLINE=y.

- [1/3]: This introduces __x86_indirect_thunk_* boundary
	 symbols so that kprobes easily identify those functions.
- [2/3]: Mark __x86_indirect_thunk_* as blacklisted function
	 for kprobes, since it can be called from other
	 blacklisted functions.
- [3/3]: Check jmp instructions in the probe target function
	 whether it jumps into the __x86_indirect_thunk_*,
	 because it is equal to an indirect jump instruction.

In this version, just [1/3] has been changed according to
David Woodhouse's comment.

 [1/3]: Consolidate .text.__x86.indirect_thunk.* sections
       to .text.__x86.indirect_thunk section.

Thank you,

---
