Subject[PATCH -tip v2 5/5] x86: kprobes: Do not disable preempt on int3 path
Date
Since int3 and debug exception(for singlestep) are run with
IRQ disabled and while running single stepping we drop IF
from regs->flags, that path must not be preemptible. So we
can remove the preempt disable/enable calls from that path.

Note that, this changes the behavior of execution path override
which is done by modifying regs->ip in pre_handler().
Previously it requires reset_current_kprobe(), enable preempt
and return !0.
With this change, preempt count is not changed on int3 path, so
user no need to enable preempt. To fit this behavior, this
modifies ftrace-based kprobe too. In total, pre_handler() does
not need to recover preempt count even if it changes regs->ip.

>From above reason, this includes 2 kprobes-users which changes
regs->ip changes. Both depend on CONFIG_FUNCTION_ERROR_INJECTION
which is currently implemented only on x86. This means it is
enough to change x86 kprobes implementation just for these
users.

Of course, since this changes the kprobes behavior when it
changes execution path, we also have to update kprobes on
each arch before implementing CONFIG_FUNCTION_ERROR_INJECTION.
