Revert "kprobes: Warn if optprobe handler tries to change execution path"
This reverts commit: e863d539614641 ("kprobes: Warn if optprobe handler tries to change execution path") On PowerPC, we place a probe at kretprobe_trampoline to catch function returns and with CONFIG_OPTPROBES=y, this probe gets optimized. This works for us due to the way we handle the optprobe as described in commit: 762df10bad6954 ("powerpc/kprobes: Optimize kprobe in kretprobe_trampoline()") With the above commit, we end up with a warning. As such, revert this change. Reported-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Naveen N.
