Kprobes - i386 add KPROBE_END macro for .popsection

From: S. P. Prasanna
Date: Wed Aug 16 2006 - 09:47:09 EST


This patch add a macro KPROBE_END() to add .popsection after each
KPROBE_ENTRY() usage, as suggested by Jan Beulich. This patch also
replace .popsection with the KPROBE_END() macro.
This will be helpful for the conversions like the recent
.section -> .pushsection and .previous -> .popsection to be
confined to the header defining these macros, without need to touch
any assembly files.
