Subject: [PATCH 8/9] rcu: Avoid stack overflow due to __rcu_irq_enter_check_tick() being kprobe-ed

From: Zheng Yejian <zhengyejian1@...wei.com>

Registering a kprobe on __rcu_irq_enter_check_tick() can cause kernel
stack overflow as shown below. This issue can be reproduced by enabling
CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL and booting the kernel with argument "nohz_full=",
and then giving the following commands at the shell prompt:

  # cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
  # echo 'p:mp1 __rcu_irq_enter_check_tick' >> kprobe_events
  # echo 1 > events/kprobes/enable

This commit therefore adds __rcu_irq_enter_check_tick() to the kprobes
blacklist using NOKPROBE_SYMBOL().

Insufficient stack space to handle exception!
