[PATCH v2 13/39] x86/livepatch: Validate __fentry__ location

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Thu Feb 24 2022 - 10:20:46 EST


Currently livepatch assumes __fentry__ lives at func+0, which is most
likely untrue with IBT on. Instead make it use ftrace_location() by
default which both validates and finds the actual ip if there is any
in the same symbol.
