[PATCH] kprobes,x86: disable irq durinr optimized callback

From: Jiri Olsa
Date: Tue Apr 26 2011 - 09:01:52 EST


hi,

attached patch is disabling irqs during optimized callback,
so we dont miss any in-irq kprobes as missed.

Also I think there's small window where current_kprobe variable
could be touched in non-safe way, but I was not able to hit
any issue.

I'm not sure wether this is a bug or if it was intentional to have
irqs enabled during the pre_handler callback.

wbr,
jirka

Disabling irqs during optimized callback, so we dont miss
any in-irq kprobes as missed.

Interrupts are also disabled during non-optimized kprobes callbacks.
