Subject[PATCH -tip] x86/kprobes: Drop removed INT3 handling code
Date
From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>

Drop removed INT3 handling code from kprobe_int3_handler() because this
case (get_kprobe() doesn't return corresponding kprobe AND the INT3 is
removed) must not happen with the kprobe managed INT3, but can happen
with the non-kprobe INT3, which should be handled by other callbacks.

For the kprobe managed INT3, the arch_disarm_kprobe() removes the INT3
and then calls text_poke_sync(). Since this text_poke_sync() uses IPI
to call sync_core() on all online cpus, that ensures that all running
INT3 exception handlers have done.
And, the unregister_kprobe() will remove the kprobe from the hash table
after arch_disarm_kprobe().

Thus, when the kprobe managed INT3 hits, kprobe_int3_handler() should
be able to find corresponding kprobe always by get_kprobe(). If it can
not find any kprobe, this means that is NOT a kprobe managed INT3.
