[PATCH 6/9][RFC] kprobes: Allow probe on ftrace reserved text (but move it)

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>]

[-- Attachment #1: 0006-kprobes-Allow-probe-on-ftrace-reserved-text-but-move.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3034 bytes --]

From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

If a probe is placed on a ftrace nop (or ftrace_caller), simply move the
probe to the next instruction instead of rejecting it. This will allow
kprobes not to be affected by ftrace using the -mfentry gcc option which
will put the ftrace nop at the beginning of the function. As a very common
case for kprobes is to add a probe to the very beginning of a function
we need a way to handle the case when ftrace takes the first instruction.

Added KPROBE_FLAG_MOVED (as suggested by Masami) that is set when the address
is moved to get around an ftrace nop.
