[TRIVIAL PATCH 0/2] kprobes: a couple of trivial changes

[Naveen N. Rao]

Two trivial fixes for kprobes:
- one, to document NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() in kprobe tracer doc
- two, change __kprobes to NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() for
  kprobe_exceptions_notify()

I noticed the latter while making this change for arch/powerpc.

[TRIVIAL PATCH 1/2] doc: trace/kprobes: add information about NOKPROBE_SYMBOL

[Naveen N. Rao]

Update kprobe tracer documentation to also mention that
NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() and nokprobe_inline add symbols to the kprobes
blacklist.

[TRIVIAL PATCH 2/2] kprobes: Convert kprobe_exceptions_notify to use NOKPROBE_SYMBOL

[Naveen N. Rao]

commit fc62d0207ae0 ("kprobes: Introduce weak variant of
kprobe_exceptions_notify()") used the __kprobes annotation to exclude
kprobe_exceptions_notify from being probed. Since NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() is a
better way to do this enabling the symbol to be discovered as being
blacklisted, change over to using NOKPROBE_SYMBOL().

Oops, yes it should be.
