Could you please separate this patch into 2 parts as Christoph mentioned?:
- introduce kprobe_handle_fault()
- remove preempt_disable/enable.
I agree with removing preempt_disable/enable, because kprobes premises
that it runs on same CPU while processing probing and single-stepping.
Actually, it uses per-cpu to check the running kprobe's status.
Thus, if a fault occurs when preemption is enabled, we can ensure
that it is not caused by a kprobe handler.
