Subject: kprobes: Add mcount to the kprobes blacklist
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5ecaafdbf44b1ba400b746c60c401d54c7ee0863;p=linux-beck.git

kprobes: Add mcount to the kprobes blacklist

Since mcount function can be called from everywhere,
it should be blacklisted. Moreover, the "mcount" symbol
is a special symbol name. So, it is better to put it in
the generic blacklist.
