powerpc/kprobes: Blacklist exception handlers
Introduce __head_end to mark end of the early fixed sections and use it to blacklist all exception handlers from kprobes. mpe: We do not need to do anything special for relocatable kernels, where the exception vectors are split from the main kernel, as the split vectors are already excluded by the check for kernel_text_address(). Signed-off-by: Naveen N. Rao <naveen.n.rao@linux.vnet.ibm.com> [mpe: Move __head_end outside #ifdef 64-bit to unbreak the 32-bit build] Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
