- Kprobes/x86: Fix to emulate indirect call which size is not 5 byte.
Current code expects the indirect call instructions are 5 bytes, but
that is incorrect. Usually indirect call based on register is shorter
than that, thus the emulation causes a kernel crash by accessing
wrong instruction boundary. This uses the instruction size to
calculate the return address correctly.

============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
