[PATCH] kprobes: bad manipulation of 2 byte opcode on x86_64
Problem: If we put a probe onto a callq instruction and the probe is executed, kernel panic of Bad RIP value occurs. Root cause: If resume_execution() found 0xff at first byte of p->ainsn.insn, it must check the _second_ byte. But current resume_execution check _first_ byte again. I changed it checks second byte of p->ainsn.insn. Kprobes on i386 don't have this problem, because the implementation is a little bit different from x86_64.
