[Xen-devel] [PATCH -tip 2/2] x86: kprobes: Prohibit probing on instruction which has Xen prefix

[Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Prohibit probing on instruction which has XEN_EMULATE_PREFIX
(it must be cpuid.) Since that prefix is a marker for Xen,
if we modify the marker by kprobe's int3, that doesn't work
as expected.
