[PATCH tip/master 0/3] kprobes blacklist enhancement

[Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com>]

Hi,

Here is a series of patches of kprobe blacklist enhancement
which I sent 1 yrs ago (with some performance improvements).

I've decided to split these patches from performance improvement
patches because it is easy to review/merge.

These 3 patches add NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() support for modules and
show all the blacklisted symbols including arch-dependent
areas (which is previously aren't shown in debugfs/kprobes/blacklist).

Thank you,
