[PATCH -tip 4/6 V4.2] x86: kprobes checks safeness of insertion address.

From: Masami Hiramatsu
Date: Fri Apr 03 2009 - 17:22:17 EST


x86: kprobes checks safeness of insertion address.

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx>

Ensure safeness of inserting kprobes by checking whether the specified
address is at the first byte of a instruction. This is done by decoding
probed function from its head to the probe point.

changes from v4.1:
- update comments according to Jim's suggestion.
- s/lookup_symbol_attrs/kallsyms_lookup/ in a comment.
