[PATCH] kprobes: enable booster on the preemptible kernel
When we are unregistering a kprobe-booster, we can't release its
instruction buffer immediately on the preemptive kernel, because some
processes might be preempted on the buffer. The freeze_processes() and
thaw_processes() functions can clean most of processes up from the buffer.
There are still some non-frozen threads who have the PF_NOFREEZE flag. If
those threads are sleeping (not preempted) at the known place outside the
buffer, we can ensure safety of freeing.
However, the processing of this check routine takes a long time. So, this
patch introduces the garbage collection mechanism of insn_slot. It also
introduces the "dirty" flag to free_insn_slot because of efficiency.
The "clean" instruction slots (dirty flag is cleared) are released
immediately. But the "dirty" slots which are used by boosted kprobes, are
marked as garbages. collect_garbage_slots() will be invoked to release
"dirty" slots if there are more than INSNS_PER_PAGE garbage slots or if
there are no unused slots.
