[ Upstream commitf2b3d8566d] On systems with VHE the kernel and KVM's world-switch code run at the same exception level. Code that is only used on a VHE system does not need to be annotated as __hyp_text as it can reside anywhere in the kernel text. __hyp_text was also used to prevent kprobes from patching breakpoint instructions into this region, as this code runs at a different exception level. While this is no longer true with VHE, KVM still switches VBAR_EL1, meaning a kprobe's breakpoint executed in the world-switch code will cause a hyp-panic. Move the __hyp_text check in the kprobes blacklist so it applies on VHE systems too, to cover the common code and guest enter/exit assembly.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
