    Subject[PATCH 0/2] x86: separating entry text section + kprobes fix
    Date
    hi,

    while fixing the optimized kprobes issue, we found out that separating
    the entry text section might have performance benefits with regards to
    the instruction cache usage.

    attached patches:
    1/2 - x86: separating entry text section
    2/2 - kprobes: disabling optimized kprobes for entry text section

    wbr,
    jirka
