[PATCH 1/3] jump_label: Warn on failed jump_label patch
From: Josh Poimboeuf
Date: Wed Feb 14 2018 - 11:41:50 EST
When the jump label code encounters an address which isn't recognized by
kernel_text_address(), it just silently fails.
This can be dangerous because jump labels are used in a variety of
places, and are generally expected to work. Convert the silent failure
to a warning.
