On ia64 and ppc64, the function pointer does not point the entry address of the function, but the address of function discriptor (which contains the entry address and misc data.) Since the kprobes passes the function pointer stored by NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() to kallsyms_lookup_size_offset() for initalizing its blacklist, it fails and reports many errors as below.

Suzuki also pointed out that blacklist entries should also be updated by that too. Changes in v6: - Update patch description. - Remove "#include <linux/types.h>" which is no more needed because we don't use new function_entry() macro any more. Changes in v5: - Use arch_deref_entry_point() instead of function_entry(). Changes in v4: - Add kernel_text_address() check for verifying the address. - Moved on the latest linus tree. Changes in v3: - Fix a bug to get blacklist address based on function entry instead of function descriptor. (Suzuki's work, Thanks!) Changes in V2: - Use function_entry() macro when lookin up symbols instead of storing it. - Update for the latest -next.
