kprobe does not handle events happening in real mode.

As exception entry points are running with MMU disabled,
blacklist them.

These are added after 'reenable_mmu', which is itself not blacklisted. 
Is that intentional?

Yes I put it as the complete end of the entry part, ie just before 
stack_ovf which is a function by itself.

Note that reenable_mmu is inside an #ifdef CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS.

I'm not completely sure where to put the _ASM_NOKPROBE_SYMBOL()s, that's 
the reason why I put it close to the symbol itself in my first series.

Ok, I see what you mean. 'reenable_mmu' can probably be moved after the 
end of 'transfer_to_handler_cont' (as also removing what looks to be an 
unused label '1' for the branch to trace_hardirqs_off), but that's a 
minor thing. From the blacklisting point, this is not an issue.
