From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit bd0b90676c30fe640e7ead919b3e38846ac88ab7 ] Fix the kprobe-booster not to boost far call instruction, because a call may store the address in the single-step execution buffer to the stack, which should be modified after single stepping. Currently, this instruction will be filtered as not boostable in resume_execution(), so this is not a critical issue.
