In preparation for static_call and variable size jump_label support, teach text_poke_bp() to emulate instructions, namely: JMP32, JMP8, CALL, NOP2, NOP_ATOMIC5, INT3 The current text_poke_bp() takes a @handler argument which is used as a jump target when the temporary INT3 is hit by a different CPU. When patching CALL instructions, this doesn't work because we'd miss the PUSH of the return address. Instead, teach poke_int3_handler() to emulate an instruction, typically the instruction we're patching in. This fits almost all text_poke_bp() users, except arch_unoptimize_kprobe() which restores random text, and for that site we have to build an explicit emulate instruction.

Linux kernel
============
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.
