Subject[PATCH 2/2] uprobes: x86: Prohibit probing on MOV SS instruction
Date
Since MOV SS and POP SS instructions will delay the exceptions
until the next instruction is executed, we should not do
single-stepping on it by uprobes.

uprobe already rejects probing on POP SS (0x1f), but allows
probing on MOV SS (0x8e and reg == 2).
This checks the target instruction and if it is MOV SS
or POP SS, returns -ENOTSUPP to reject probing.
