[Xen-devel] [PATCH -tip 0/2] x86: Prohibit kprobes on XEN_EMULATE_PREFIX

[Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

These patches allow x86 instruction decoder to decode
xen-cpuid which has XEN_EMULATE_PREFIX, and prohibit
kprobes to probe on it.

Josh reported that the objtool can not decode such special
prefixed instructions, and I found that we also have to
prohibit kprobes to probe on such instruction.

This series can be applied on -tip master branch which
has merged Josh's objtool/perf sharing common x86 insn
decoder series.


Thank you,
