Looking at __kvm_hyp_vector, we don't have support for handling breakpoints at
EL2, so we should forbid kprobing these address ranges too:
__hyp_text_start -> __hyp_text_end
__hyp_idmap_text_start -> __hyp_idmap_text_end

These can probably be guarded with is_kernel_in_hyp_mode(), if this is true then
we are running with VHE where this code runs at the same exception level as the
rest of the kernel, so we can probe them. (In this case you may want to add
'eret' to aarch64_insn_is_branch() in patch 2)


Probing things in the kernel idmap sounds dangerous! Lets blacklist that too:
__idmap_text_start -> __idmap_text_end



Thanks,

James
