<title>x86/kprobes: Verify stack frame on kretprobe</title>

<content type='text'>
Verify the stack frame pointer on kretprobe trampoline handler,
If the stack frame pointer does not match, it skips the wrong
entry and tries to find correct one.

This can happen if user puts the kretprobe on the function
which can be used in the path of ftrace user-function call.
Such functions should not be probed, so this adds a warning
message that reports which function should be blacklisted.

<content type='text'>
Remove the ifdeffery in the breakpoint parsing arch_build_bp_info() by
adding a within_kprobe_blacklist() stub for the !CONFIG_KPROBES case.

It is returning true when kprobes are not enabled to mean that any
address is within the kprobes blacklist on such kernels and thus not
allow kernel breakpoints on non-kprobes kernels.

<id>fb1a59fae8baa3f3c69b72a87ff94fc4fa5683ec</id>
<content type='text'>
Blacklist symbols in arch-defined probe-prohibited areas.
With this change, user can see all symbols which are prohibited
to probe in debugfs.

All archtectures which have custom prohibit areas should define
its own arch_populate_kprobe_blacklist() function, but unless that,
all symbols marked __kprobes are blacklisted.

The jprobes APIs are deprecated - but are still in occasional use for code that
few people seem to care about, so stop generating deprecation warnings.

Disable the jprobes APIs and comment out the jprobes API function
code. This is in preparation of removing all jprobes related
code (including kprobe's break_handler).

Nowadays ftrace and other tracing features are mature enough
to replace jprobes use-cases. Users can safely use ftrace and
perf probe etc. for their use cases.
