Commit7705dc8557("x86/vmlinux: Use INT3 instead of NOP for linker fill bytes") changed the padding bytes between functions from NOP to INT3. However, when optprobe decodes a target function it finds INT3 and gives up the jump optimization. Instead of giving up any INT3 detection, check whether the rest of the bytes to the end of the function are INT3. If all of them are INT3, those come from the linker. In that case, continue the optprobe jump optimization.

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.
