[PATCH] kprobes: Fix to delay the kprobes jump optimization

From: Masami Hiramatsu
Date: Wed Feb 17 2021 - 09:35:20 EST


Since the kprobes jump optimization involves synchronize_rcu_tasks()
which depends on the ksoftirqd, that can not be enabled at the
early_initcall() boot stage. So this makes the kprobe optimization
disabled in the early_initcall() and enables it in subsys_initcall().

Note that non-optimized kprobes is still available after
early_initcall(). Only jump optimization is delayed.

Fixes: 36dadef23fcc ("kprobes: Init kprobes in early_initcall")
