[PATCH lttng-modules 1/2] Blacklist: kprobe for arm

[Jonathan Rajotte]

This upstream kernel commit broke optimized kprobe.

commit e46daee53bb50bde38805f1823a182979724c229
Author: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>

    ARM: 8806/1: kprobes: Fix false positive with FORTIFY_SOURCE

    The arm compiler internally interprets an inline assembly label
    as an unsigned long value, not a pointer. As a result, under
    CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE, the address of a label has a size of 4 bytes,
    which was tripping the runtime checks. Instead, we can just cast the label
    (as done with the size calculations earlier).

    Fixes: 6974f0c4555e ("include/linux/string.h: add the option of fortified string.h functions")
