Fortunately, however, it works out to be unnecessary: - uaccess instructions themselves are not probeable, so at most we should only ever expect to take a fixable fault from the pre or post handlers. - the pre and post handler run with preemption disabled, thus for any fault they may cause, an unhandled return from kprobe_page_fault() will proceed directly to __do_kernel_fault() thanks to the faulthandler_disabled() check. - __do_kernel_fault() will immediately call fixup_exception() unless we're in an EL1 instruction abort, and if we've somehow taken one of those on what we think is the middle of a uaccess routine, then the world is already very on fire. Thus we can reasonably drop the call from kprobe_fault_handler() and leave uaccess fixups to the regular flow.
