Rather than hard-coding the offset into a function to be used to determine if a kprobe is at function entry, use ftrace_location() to determine the ftrace location within the function and categorize all instructions till that offset to be function entry. For functions that cannot be traced, we fall back to using a fixed offset of 8 (two instructions) to categorize a probe as being at function entry for 64-bit elfv2, unless we are using pcrel.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
