Both INTs (INT n, INT1, INT3, INTO) and UDs (UD0, UD1, UD2) serve
special purposes in the kernel, e.g., INT3 is used by KGDB and UD2 is
involved in LLVM-KCFI instrumentation. At the same time, attaching
kprobes on these instructions (particularly UDs) will pollute the stack
trace dumped in the kernel ring buffer, since the exception is triggered
in the copy buffer rather than the original location.

Check for INTs and UDs in can_probe and reject any kprobes trying to
attach to these instructions.
Thanks for implement this check!

If "else" block just return, you don't need this "else".

bool func()
{
	if (cond)
		return ...

	return ...
}

Is preferrable because this puts "return val" always at the end of non-void
function.

Please don't put this outside of decoding loop. You should put these in
the loop which decodes the instruction from the beginning of the function.
Since the x86 instrcution is variable length, can_probe() needs to check
whether that the address is instruction boundary and decodable.

Thank you,
