kprobes, ftrace: Allow probing on some functions
There is no need to prohibit probing on the functions used for preparation and uprobe only fetch functions. Those are safely probed because those are not invoked from kprobe's breakpoint/fault/debug handlers. So there is no chance to cause recursive exceptions. Following functions are now removed from the kprobes blacklist: update_bitfield_fetch_param free_bitfield_fetch_param kprobe_register FETCH_FUNC_NAME(stack, type) in trace_uprobe.c FETCH_FUNC_NAME(memory, type) in trace_uprobe.c FETCH_FUNC_NAME(memory, string) in trace_uprobe.c FETCH_FUNC_NAME(memory, string_size) in trace_uprobe.c FETCH_FUNC_NAME(file_offset, type) in trace_uprobe.c Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20140417081800.26341.56504.stgit@ltc230.yrl.intra.hitachi.co.jpSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
