This makes the changes introduced in commit83e840c770("powerpc64/elfv1: Only dereference function descriptor for non-text symbols") to be specific to the kprobe subsystem. We previously changed ppc_function_entry() to always check the provided address to confirm if it needed to be dereferenced. This is actually only an issue for kprobe blacklisted asm labels (through use of _ASM_NOKPROBE_SYMBOL) and can cause other issues with ftrace. Also, the additional checks are not really necessary for our other uses. As such, move this check to the kprobes subsystem.

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.
