[PATCH] powerpc: do not use kprobe section to exempt exception handlers

From: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com>
Date: 2016-09-15 14:30:05

Use the blacklist macros instead. This allows the linker to move
exception handler functions close to callers and avoids trampolines in
larger kernels.

Nice, that's been on my todo list for eva.

Can you do the asm ones too? See _KPROBE() in misc_32/64.S.
