Masami Hiramatsu 6143c6fb1e kprobes: Search non-suffixed symbol in blacklist
Newer GCC versions can generate some different instances of a function
with suffixed symbols if the function is optimized and only
has a part of that. (e.g. .constprop, .part etc.)

In this case, it is not enough to check the entry of kprobe
blacklist because it only records non-suffixed symbol address.

To fix this issue, search non-suffixed symbol in blacklist if
given address is within a symbol which has a suffix.

Note that this can cause false positive cases if a kprobe-safe
function is optimized to suffixed instance and has same name
symbol which is blacklisted.
But I would like to chose a fail-safe design for this issue.

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 Restructured Text 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.
