Subject[PATCH 3/3] Make jprobes a little safer for users
Date
I realise jprobes are a razor-blades-included type of interface, but
that doesn't mean we can't try and make them safer to use. This guy I
know once wrote code like this:

struct jprobe jp = { .kp.symbol_name = "foo", .entry = "jprobe_foo" };

And then his kernel exploded. Oops.

This patch adds an arch hook, arch_deref_entry_point() (I don't like it either)
which takes the void * in a struct jprobe, and gives back the text address
that it represents.

We can then use that in register_jprobe() to check that the entry point
we're passed is actually in the kernel text, rather than just some random
value.
