Hi,

Here is the 3rd version of the series to improve preempt
related behavior in kprobes/x86. This actually includes
many enhancements/fixes from the 2nd version, which is

https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/9/11/482

With the previous patch, lkp-bot reported that an issue
( https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/9/14/3 ) and I couldn't
reproduce it. However, I found a suspicious bug and fixed
it ([2/7]).

Also, while I was checking the correct condition for 
*probe handlers in Documentation/kprobes.txt, I also
found that current implementations for ftrace-based kprobe
and optprobe were mis-reading the document.
>From the document, handlers must be run with preempt-
disabled, but interrupt disabling is not guaranteed.
So in the middle of this series, patches ([4/7],[5/7],
[6/7]) adding preempt-disabling and removing irq-disabling.

And at last, I placed the original patch (Enable optprobe
with CONFIG_PREEMPT).

The others are just for making sure this fix works well.
- [1/7] is just adding preemptible checker in kprobe
  smake tests so that we can easily find mistake.
- [3/7] is adding an assert if user tries to change
  execution path in optprobe, which is obviously
  prohibited in the document (there also be how to
  avoid it.)

Thank you,

---
