Hi,

This is the 3rd version of the series. I just updated 4/8 according
to Ingo's comment.

This series tries to make kprobes instruction buffers read-only
pages. Since those buffers are used for trampoline code, those
are a part of "text area" and it should be marked as ro for
avoiding unexpected modification. And this actually fix a warning
rodata sanity check reported by lkp-robot.

https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/2/27/161

This change requires changing the kprobe-booster at first
because it can modify the instruction buffer to add a jump while
resuming from single-stepping. Of course after we make the buffer
readonly, we may not be able to modify it while probing.

So, at first this series checks the current bootable instructions
and fixes a missed instruction (call far), modifies can_boost to
use x86 instruction decoder, and inserts "booster" jump while
preparing instruction buffer instead of resuming from single-stepping.
At last, it makes the buffers for kprobes and optprobe readonly.

This series also has some cleanup patches related to above 
changes.

Changes from V2:
 - [4/8]: Fix imbalanced curly braces and remove unneeded
   (void *) cast.
