By the way, when returning from an exception on x86-64, it seems
paranoidexit@...ry_64.S doesn't use TRACE_IRQS_IRETQ except for
it executes swapgs, does it?

If not, I guess the lockdep on x86-64 may causes an warning
by below code:

spin_lock(...)
kprobe_target_function()
spin_unlock(...)

Thanks,
