Subject[PATCH -tip ] kprobes/x86: Just return error for sanity check failure instead of using BUG_ON
From
Date
Return an error from __copy_instruction and use printk to
give us more productive message, since this is just an error
case which we can handle it and also the BUG_ON() never
tell us why and what happened,

This is related to the below bug-report.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=910649

Note, this patch is for help to analyze what happened.
