uprobes/x86: Allow to probe a NOP instruction with 0x66 prefix
Intel ICC -hotpatch inserts 2-byte "0x66 0x90" NOP at the start of each function to reserve extra space for hot-patching, and currently it is not possible to probe these functions because branch_setup_xol_ops() wrongly rejects NOP with REP prefix as it treats them like word-sized branch instructions. Fixes: 250bbd12c2fe ("uprobes/x86: Refuse to attach uprobe to "word-sized" branch insns") Reported-by: Seiji Nishikawa <snishika@redhat.com> Suggested-by: Denys Vlasenko <dvlasenk@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221204173933.GA31544@redhat.com
