[PATCH -mm 1/2] kprobes: indirectly call kprobe_target
- From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat at redhat dot com>
- To: Andrew Morton <akpm at linux-foundation dot org>
- Cc: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli <ananth at in dot ibm dot com>, Jim Keniston <jkenisto at us dot ibm dot com>, David Miller <davem at davemloft dot net>, systemtap-ml <systemtap at sources dot redhat dot com>, LKML <linux-kernel at vger dot kernel dot org>

- Subject: [PATCH -mm 1/2] kprobes: indirectly call kprobe_target
Call kprobe_target indirectly. This prevents gcc to unroll
a noinline function in caller function.
