    kprobes/x86: Call out into INT3 handler directly instead of using notifier · 17f41571
    Jiri Kosina authored
    In fd4363ff ("x86: Introduce int3 (breakpoint)-based
    instruction patching"), the mechanism that was introduced for
    notifying alternatives code from int3 exception handler that and
    exception occured was die_notifier.
    
    This is however problematic, as early code might be using jump
    labels even before the notifier registration has been performed,
    which will then lead to an oops due to unhandled exception. One
    of such occurences has been encountered by Fengguang:

    Fix this by directly calling poke_int3_handler() from the int3
    exception handler (analogically to what ftrace has been doing
    already), instead of relying on notifier, registration of which
    might not have yet been finalized by the time of the first trap.
