Hi,

Here is batch optimizing patch series version 4.

Since current kprobes jump optimization calls stop_machine() for each
probe, it can make a lot of latency noises when (un)registering a lot of
probes (~1000) at once. For example, on 4 core Xeon, 256 probes
optimization takes 770us in average (max 3.3ms).
This patch series introduces batch (un)optimization which modifies
code with just one stop_machine(), and it improves optimization time
to 90us in average (max 330us).

- Introduce text_poke_smp_batch() which modifies multiple
  codes with one stop_machine().
- Limit how many probes can be (un)optimized at once.
- Introduce delayed unoptimization for batch processing.

text_poke_smp_batch() will also help Jump label to reduce
its delay coming from text_poke_smp().

Changes in v4:
- Update to the latest tip tree.

Changes in v3:
- Set kp.addr = NULL according to Ananth's comment.

Changes in v2:
- Add kprobes selftest bugfix patch.
- Add some comments about locks according to Mathieu's comment.
- Allocate working buffers when initializing kprobes, instead of
  using static arraies.
- Merge max optimization limit patch into batch optimizing patch.

Thank you,

---
