[PATCH -tip v2 1/2] [BUGFIX] kprobes: make hash_64() as always inlined

From: Masami Hiramatsu
Date: Thu Mar 14 2013 - 07:54:38 EST


Because hash_64() is called from the get_kprobe() inside
int3 handler, kernel causes int3 recursion and crashes if
kprobes user puts a probe on it.

Usually hash_64() is inlined into caller function, but in
some cases, it has instances by gcc's interprocedural
constant propagation.

This patch uses __always_inline instead of inline to
prevent gcc from doing such things.

Changes in v2:
- Use __always_inline instead of using __kprobes
