+kprobes/x86: Fix kprobes to skip prefixes correctly
+
+Fix resume_execution() and is_IF_modifier() to skip x86
+instruction prefixes correctly by using x86 instruction
+attribute.
+
+Without this fix, resume_execution() can't handle instructions
+which have non-REX prefixes (REX prefixes are skipped). This
+will cause unexpected kernel panic by hitting bad address when a
+kprobe hits on two-byte ret (e.g. "repz ret" generated for
+Athlon/K8 optimization), because it just checks "repz" and can't
+recognize the "ret" instruction.
+
+These prefixes can be found easily with x86 instruction
+attribute. This patch introduces skip_prefixes() and uses it in
+resume_execution() and is_IF_modifier() to skip prefixes.
