Naveen N. Rao 1ffabfc1d5 powerpc/kprobes: Disable preemption before invoking probe handler for optprobes 
commit 8a2d71a3f2 upstream.

Per Documentation/kprobes.txt, probe handlers need to be invoked with
preemption disabled. Update optimized_callback() to do so. Also move
get_kprobe_ctlblk() invocation post preemption disable, since it
accesses pre-cpu data.

This was not an issue so far since optprobes wasn't selected if
CONFIG_PREEMPT was enabled. Commit a30b85df7d ("kprobes: Use
synchronize_rcu_tasks() for optprobe with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y") changes
this.

README 

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.
