Hi Ard,

While testing this patchset I ran into the following general protection
fault when removing a module with tracepoints:

# rmmod kvm

[ 25.286708] ---[ end trace 04f35cade1663177 ]---

The offending line is in tp_module_going_check_quiescent() (shown inlined):

(gdb) list *(tracepoint_module_notify+0xd5)
0xffffffff811692d5 is in tracepoint_module_notify (/home/jeyu/work/jeyu-linux/kernel/tracepoint.c:402).
397 struct tracepoint * const *iter;
398
399 if (!begin)
400 return;
401 for (iter = begin; iter < end; iter++)
402 WARN_ON_ONCE((*iter)->funcs);
403 }
404
405 static int tracepoint_module_coming(struct module *mod)
406 {

The relative reference calculations need to be done here too.

Thanks,

Jessica
