Improve __kernel_text_address()/kernel_text_address() to return true if the given address is on a kprobe's instruction slot trampoline. This can help stacktraces to determine the address is on a text area or not. To implement this atomically in is_kprobe_*_slot(), also change the insn_cache page list to an RCU list. This changes timings a bit (it delays page freeing to the RCU garbage collection phase), but none of that is in the hot path. Note: this change can add small overhead to stack unwinders because it adds 2 additional checks to __kernel_text_address(). However, the impact should be very small, because kprobe_insn_pages list has 1 entry per 256 probes(on x86, on arm/arm64 it will be 1024 probes), and kprobe_optinsn_pages has 1 entry per 32 probes(on x86). In most use cases, the number of kprobe events may be less than 20, which means that is_kprobe_*_slot() will check just one entry.
