Li Bin 2c29461e27 perf probe: Fix kprobe blacklist checking condition
The commit 9aaf5a5f47 ("perf probe: Check kprobes blacklist when
adding new events"), 'perf probe' supports checking the blacklist of the
fuctions which can not be probed.  But the checking condition is wrong,
that the end_addr of the symbol which is the start_addr of the next
symbol can't be included.

Committer notes:

IOW make it match its kernel counterpart in kernel/kprobes.c:

  bool within_kprobe_blacklist(unsigned long addr)

Each entry have as its end address not its end address, but the first
address _outside_ that symbol, which for related functions, is the first
address of the next symbol, like these from kernel/trace/trace_probe.c:

0xffffffffbd198df0-0xffffffffbd198e40	print_type_u8
0xffffffffbd198e40-0xffffffffbd198e90	print_type_u16
0xffffffffbd198e90-0xffffffffbd198ee0	print_type_u32
0xffffffffbd198ee0-0xffffffffbd198f30	print_type_u64
0xffffffffbd198f30-0xffffffffbd198f80	print_type_s8
0xffffffffbd198f80-0xffffffffbd198fd0	print_type_s16
0xffffffffbd198fd0-0xffffffffbd199020	print_type_s32
0xffffffffbd199020-0xffffffffbd199070	print_type_s64
0xffffffffbd199070-0xffffffffbd1990c0	print_type_x8
0xffffffffbd1990c0-0xffffffffbd199110	print_type_x16
0xffffffffbd199110-0xffffffffbd199160	print_type_x32
0xffffffffbd199160-0xffffffffbd1991b0	print_type_x64

But not always:

0xffffffffbd1997b0-0xffffffffbd1997c0	fetch_kernel_stack_address (kernel/trace/trace_probe.c)
0xffffffffbd1c57f0-0xffffffffbd1c58b0	__context_tracking_enter   (kernel/context_tracking.c)

============

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.
