PATCH 1/1 i386: entry.s::error_code is not safe for kprobes

Because code marked unsafe for kprobes jumps directly to entry.S::error_code, that must be marked unsafe as well. The easiest way to do that is to move the page fault entry point to just before error_code and let it inherit the same section.

Also moved all the ".previous" asm directives for kprobes sections to column 1 and removed ".text" from them.

---

x86_64 also has this problem but I wasn't sure whether to move error_entry into .kprobes.text or convert offendors to the "paranoid" infrastructure.

Hi Chuck,

Thanks for fixing the problem. Patch looks good to me. I will make those changes for x86_64.

Thanks
Prasanna
