Subject: [PATCH -tip v3 10/10] kprobes: Prohibit probing on bsearch()

From: Andrea Righi <righi.andrea@...il.com>

Since kprobe breakpoing handler is using bsearch(), probing on this
routine can cause recursive breakpoint problem.

int3
 ->do_int3()
   ->ftrace_int3_handler()
     ->ftrace_location()
       ->ftrace_location_range()
         ->bsearch() -> int3

Prohibit probing on bsearch().
