    kprobes/x86: Remove IRQ disabling from jprobe handlers · b664d57f
    Masami Hiramatsu authored
    Jprobes actually don't need to disable IRQs while calling
    handlers, because of how we specify the kernel interface in
    Documentation/kprobes.txt:
    
    -----
     Probe handlers are run with preemption disabled.  Depending on the
     architecture and optimization state, handlers may also run with
     interrupts disabled (e.g., kretprobe handlers and optimized kprobe
     handlers run without interrupt disabled on x86/x86-64).
    -----
    
    So let's remove IRQ disabling from jprobes too.
