kprobes/x86: Do not jump-optimize kprobes on irq entry code Since the kernel segment registers are not prepared at the entry of irq-entry code, if a kprobe on such code is jump-optimized, accessing per-CPU variables may cause a kernel panic. However, if the kprobe is not optimized, it triggers an int3 exception and sets segment registers correctly. With this patch we check the probe-address and if it is in the irq-entry code, it prohibits optimizing such kprobes. This means we can continue probing such interrupt handlers by kprobes but it is not optimized anymore.
