Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When a program check exception happens while MMU translation is
disabled, following Oops happens in kprobe_handler() in the following
code:

	} else if (*addr != BREAKPOINT_INSTRUCTION) {

  BUG: Unable to handle kernel data access on read at 0x0000e268

kprobe is not prepared to handle events in real mode and functions
running in real mode should have been blacklisted, so kprobe_handler()
can safely bail out telling 'this trap is not mine' for any trap that
happened while in real-mode.

If the trap happened with MSR_IR or MSR_DR cleared, return 0
immediately.
