kprobes: Fix "Failed to find blacklist" probing errors on ia64 and ppc64
On ia64 and ppc64, function pointers do not point to the entry address of the function, but to the address of a function descriptor (which contains the entry address and misc data). Since the kprobes code passes the function pointer stored by NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() to kallsyms_lookup_size_offset() for initalizing its blacklist, it fails and reports many errors, such as: Failed to find blacklist 0001013168300000 Failed to find blacklist 0001013000f0a000 [...] To fix this bug, use arch_deref_entry_point() to get the function entry address for kallsyms_lookup_size_offset() instead of the raw function pointer. Suzuki also pointed out that blacklist entries should also be updated as well. Reported-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@gmail.com> Fixed-by: Suzuki K.
