    kprobes: Search non-suffixed symbol in blacklist · 6143c6fb
    Masami Hiramatsu authored
    Newer GCC versions can generate some different instances of a function
    with suffixed symbols if the function is optimized and only
    has a part of that. (e.g. .constprop, .part etc.)
    
    In this case, it is not enough to check the entry of kprobe
    blacklist because it only records non-suffixed symbol address.
    
    To fix this issue, search non-suffixed symbol in blacklist if
    given address is within a symbol which has a suffix.
    
    Note that this can cause false positive cases if a kprobe-safe
    function is optimized to suffixed instance and has same name
    symbol which is blacklisted.
    But I would like to chose a fail-safe design for this issue.
