This is the third in the series of patches to build out an appropriate kprobes blacklist for powerpc. Since posting the second series (*), there have been related changes to the code and I have brought that series forward to account for those changes. As such, all patches from the second series are included in this patchset.
This patchset now ensures that the newly added multiple kprobes test in the ftrace testsuite passes on powerpc64. Tested on both Elfv1 and Elfv2. Changes since series 2 v2: - Patches 1, 2 and 6 are new. - Patch 3 now additionally converts syscall_restore_math() to a local symbol. - Patch 5 additionally blacklists __replay_interrupt.
