Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.4 007/101] kprobes/x86: Fix kprobe-booster not
 to boost far call instructions

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@...nel.org>

[ Upstream commit bd0b90676c30fe640e7ead919b3e38846ac88ab7 ]

Fix the kprobe-booster not to boost far call instruction,
because a call may store the address in the single-step
execution buffer to the stack, which should be modified
after single stepping.

Currently, this instruction will be filtered as not
boostable in resume_execution(), so this is not a
critical issue.
