[PATCH -tip v2 0/5] kprobes: Remove BUG_ON from kprobes
From: Masami Hiramatsu

Hi,
Here are v2 patches to remove BUG_ON from kprobes.
Since BUG_ON() kills the machine, it must not be used
for debugging or assertion. These patches remove
meaningless BUG_ON or replace it with return errors.
In this version, I updated 5/5 to use WARN_ON_ONCE()
for unusual case, according to Ingo's comment.
Thank you,
