From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> In order to ensure poke_int3_handler() is completely self contained -- we call this while we're modifying other text, imagine the fun of hitting another INT3 -- ensure that everything it uses is not traced. The primary means here is to force inlining; bsearch() is notrace because all of lib/ is.
