Masami Hiramatsu 53647b8201 kprobes: Fix optimize_kprobe()/unoptimize_kprobe() cancellation logic
[ Upstream commit e4add247789e4ba5e08ad8256183ce2e211877d4 ]

optimize_kprobe() and unoptimize_kprobe() cancels if a given kprobe
is on the optimizing_list or unoptimizing_list already. However, since
the following commit:

  f66c0447cca1 ("kprobes: Set unoptimized flag after unoptimizing code")

modified the update timing of the KPROBE_FLAG_OPTIMIZED, it doesn't
work as expected anymore.

The optimized_kprobe could be in the following states:

- [optimizing]: Before inserting jump instruction
  op.kp->flags has KPROBE_FLAG_OPTIMIZED and
  op->list is not empty.

- [optimized]: jump inserted
  op.kp->flags has KPROBE_FLAG_OPTIMIZED and
  op->list is empty.

- [unoptimizing]: Before removing jump instruction (including unused
  optprobe)
  op.kp->flags has KPROBE_FLAG_OPTIMIZED and
  op->list is not empty.

- [unoptimized]: jump removed
  op.kp->flags doesn't have KPROBE_FLAG_OPTIMIZED and
  op->list is empty.

Current code mis-expects [unoptimizing] state doesn't have
KPROBE_FLAG_OPTIMIZED, and that can cause incorrect results.

To fix this, introduce optprobe_queued_unopt() to distinguish [optimizing]
and [unoptimizing] states and fixes the logic in optimize_kprobe() and
unoptimize_kprobe().

[ mingo: Cleaned up the changelog and the code a bit. ]

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
