[PATCH] x86: KPROBE_ENTRY should be paired wth KPROBE_END

From: Alexander van Heukelum
Date: Sun Nov 23 2008 - 04:17:51 EST


Impact: moves some code out of .kprobes.text

KPROBE_ENTRY switches code generation to .kprobes.text, and KPROBE_END
uses .popsection to get back to the previous section (.text, normally).
Also replace ENDPROC by END, for consistency.

Hi Ingo,

One more small change for today. The xen-related functions
xen_do_hypervisor_callback and xen_failsafe_callback are put
in the .kprobes.text even in the current kernel: ignore_sysret
is enclosed in KPROBE_ENTRY / ENDPROC, instead of KPROBE_ENTRY /
KPROBE_END, but I guess the situation is harmless.

Greetings,
Alexander
