3.16.48-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Marcin Nowakowski <marcin.nowakowski@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 698b851073ddf5a894910d63ca04605e0473414e upstream.
When ftrace is used with kprobes, it is possible for a kprobe to contain
an invalid location (ie. only initialised to 0 and not to a specific
location in the code). Trying to perform a cache flush on such location
leads to a crash r4k_flush_icache_range().
Fixes: c1bf207d6ee1 ("MIPS: kprobe: Add support.")
