kprobes/x86: Remove IRQ disabling from ftrace-based/optimized kprobes
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Kkprobes don't need to disable IRQs if they are called from the
ftrace/jump trampoline code, because Documentation/kprobes.txt says:

  -----
  Probe handlers are run with preemption disabled.  Depending on the
  architecture and optimization state, handlers may also run with
  interrupts disabled (e.g., kretprobe handlers and optimized kprobe
  handlers run without interrupt disabled on x86/x86-64).
  -----

So let's remove IRQ disabling from those handlers.
