kprobes: indirectly call kprobe_target
Call kprobe_target indirectly. This prevents gcc to unroll a noinline function in caller function. I ported patches which had been discussed on http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3542 Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com> Acked-by: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli <ananth@in.ibm.com> Cc: Jim Keniston <jkenisto@us.ibm.com> Cc: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Cc: Anil S Keshavamurthy <anil.s.keshavamurthy@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
