Masami Hiramatsu 0eae81dc9f x86/kprobes: Prohibit probing on IRQ handlers directly
Prohibit probing on IRQ handlers in irqentry_text because
if it interrupts user mode, at that point we haven't changed
to kernel space yet and which eventually leads a double fault.
E.g.

 # echo p apic_timer_interrupt > kprobe_events
 # echo 1 > events/kprobes/enable
 PANIC: double fault, error_code: 0x0
 CPU: 1 PID: 814 Comm: less Not tainted 4.20.0-rc3+ #30

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
