[PATCH -tip 0/4] kprobes: Support __kprobes and NOKPROBE_SYMBOL in modules

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Hi,

Here is a series for adding support of __kprobes attribute
and NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() macro in modules. With this series,
kprobes user can add its handlers and sub-functions to kprobe
blacklist so that other kprobes don't probe it.

Note that user should not use both __kprobes and NOKPROBE_SYMBOL()
to same function. In that case, the function will appear twice
on the blacklist, and that is a waste of memory.

Thomas, it is easy to add ".noinstr.text" support to this series.
as same as __kprobes (.kprobes.text) support in [2/4], we can
add mod->noinstr_text_start and mod->noinstr_text_size and
register it in add_module_kprobe_blacklist().


Thank you,
