[ Upstream commit 28f6c37a2910f565b4f5960df52b2eccae28c891 ] kernel_text_address() treats ftrace_trampoline, kprobe_insn_slot and bpf_text_address as valid kprobe addresses - which is not ideal. These text areas are removable and changeable without any notification to kprobes, and probing on them can trigger unexpected behavior: https://lkml.org/lkml/2022/7/26/1148 Considering that jump_label and static_call text are already forbiden to probe, kernel_text_address() should be replaced with core_kernel_text() and is_module_text_address() to check other text areas which are unsafe to kprobe.

README
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.
