Hi,

Here is a series of kprobes blacklist bugfix and improvements mainly
on x86 (since I started testing on qemu-x86).

This has been started from discussion about KPROBE_ENENTS_ON_NOTRACE
configuration. I tried to find notrace functions which can cause kernel
crash with kprobes using following script.

====
#!/bin/sh

i=0;
cat notrace_functions | while read f ; do
  if echo p:event$i $f >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events; then
     echo "Probing on $f"
     echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/event$i/enable 
  fi
  i=$((i+1))
done
====

And I found several functions which must be blacklisted.
 - optprobe template code, which is just a template code and
   never be executed. Moreover, since it can be copied and
   reused, if we probe it, it modifies the template code and
   can cause a crash. ([1/9][2/9])
 - functions which is called before kprobe_int3_handler()
   handles kprobes. This can cause a breakpoint recursion. ([3/9])
 - IRQ entry text, which should not be probed since register/pagetable
   status has not been stable at that point. ([4/9])
 - Suffixed symbols, like .constprop, .part etc. Those suffixed
   symbols never be blacklisted even if the non-suffixed version
   has been blacklisted. ([5/9])
 - hardirq tracer also works before int3 handling. ([6/9])
 - preempt_check debug function also is involved in int3 handling.
   ([7/9])
 - RCU debug routine is also called before kprobe_int3_handler().
   ([8/9])
 - Some lockdep functions are also involved in int3 handling.
   ([9/9])

Of course there still may be some functions which can be called
by configuration change, I'll continue to test it.

Thank you,

---
