Looks good to me. Thanks!

Side question: there are certain symbols in arch/x86/xen that should be
blacklisted explicitly, because they're non-attachable.

More exactly, all functions defined in arch/x86/xen/spinlock.c,
arch/x86/xen/time.c and arch/x86/xen/irq.c.

The reason is that these files are compiled without -pg to allow the
usage of ftrace within a Xen domain apparently (from
arch/x86/xen/Makefile):

 ifdef CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER
 # Do not profile debug and lowlevel utilities
 CFLAGS_REMOVE_spinlock.o = -pg
 CFLAGS_REMOVE_time.o = -pg
 CFLAGS_REMOVE_irq.o = -pg
 endif

Do you see a nice and clean way to blacklist all these functions
(something like arch_populate_kprobe_blacklist()), or should we just
flag all of them explicitly with NOKPROBE_SYMBOL()?

Thanks,
-Andrea
