Subject[PATCH 0/2] x86: separating entry text section + kprobes fix
Date
hi,

while fixing the optimized kprobes issue, we found out that separating
the entry text section might have performance benefits with regards to
the instruction cache usage.

attached patches:
1/2 - x86: separating entry text section
2/2 - kprobes: disabling optimized kprobes for entry text section

wbr,
jirka
