Subject: [PATCH -tip 0/4] kprobes updates

Hi,

Here are patches for updating kprobes. Actually, the first patch is
same as that previously I sent to LKML. 2nd-4th patches introduces text
reserve functions for avoiding conflictions between alternatives/
ftrace and kprobes. Since alternatives and ftrace can modify fixed
small pieces of kernel text, I think those should come before kprobes.

Thank you,

      kprobes: Check probe address is reserved
      ftrace/alternatives: Introducing *_text_reserved functions
      [RESEND] kprobes: Disable booster when CONFIG_PREEMPT=y
