kprobes/x86: Allow probe on some kprobe preparation functions
There is no need to prohibit probing on the functions
used in preparation phase. Those are safely probed because
those are not invoked from breakpoint/fault/debug handlers,
there is no chance to cause recursive exceptions.
Following functions are now removed from the kprobes blacklist:
can_boost
can_probe
can_optimize
is_IF_modifier
__copy_instruction
copy_optimized_instructions
arch_copy_kprobe
arch_prepare_kprobe
arch_arm_kprobe
arch_disarm_kprobe
arch_remove_kprobe
arch_trampoline_kprobe
arch_prepare_kprobe_ftrace
arch_prepare_optimized_kprobe
arch_check_optimized_kprobe
arch_within_optimized_kprobe
__arch_remove_optimized_kprobe
arch_remove_optimized_kprobe
arch_optimize_kprobes
arch_unoptimize_kprobe
I tested those functions by putting kprobes on all
instructions in the functions with the bash script
I sent to LKML. See:
