A better changelog:
~15 years ago kprobes grew the 'arch_deref_entry_point()' __weak function:
3d7e33825d87: ("jprobes: make jprobes a little safer for users")
But this is just open-coded dereference_symbol_descriptor() in essence, and its obscure nature was causing bugs.
Just use the real thing.
Thanks,
Ingo
