Masami Hiramatsu bc2f70151f kprobes: bugfix: try_module_get even if calling_mod is NULL ... When someone called register_*probe() from kernel-core code(not from module) and that probes a kernel module, users can remove the probed module because kprobe doesn't increment reference counter of the module. (on the other hand, if the kernel-module calls register_*probe, kprobe increments refcount of the probed module.) Currently, we have no register_*probe() calling from kernel-core(except smoke-test, but the smoke-test doesn't probe module), so there is no real bugs. But the logic is wrong(or not fair) and it can causes a problem when someone might want to probe module from kernel. After this patch is applied, even if someone put register_*probe() call in the kernel-core code, it increments the reference counter of the probed module, and it prevents user to remove the module until stopping probing it.
