From: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli <[email protected]>
Changes to the base kprobes infrastructure to use RCU for synchronization
during kprobe registration and unregistration. These changes coupled with
the arch kprobe changes (next in series):
a. serialize registration and unregistration of kprobes.
b. enable lockless execution of handlers. Handlers can now run in parallel.
