From 762df10bad6954b353ee649c387a8ffacf6dc347 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anju T Date: Wed, 8 Feb 2017 15:20:52 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/kprobes: Optimize kprobe in kretprobe_trampoline() Kprobe placed on the kretprobe_trampoline() during boot time can be optimized, since the instruction at probe point is a 'nop'.
