get_kernel_nofault() (or, rather, underlying copy_from_kernel_nofault()) is not free and it does pop up in performance profiles when kprobes are heavily utilized with CONFIG_X86_KERNEL_IBT=y config. Let's avoid using it if we know that fentry_ip - 4 can't cross page boundary. We do that by masking lowest 12 bits and checking if they are Another benefit (and actually what caused a closer look at this part of code) is that now LBR record is (typically) not wasted on copy_from_kernel_nofault() call and code, which helps tools like retsnoop that grab LBR records from inside BPF code in kretprobes.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the ReStructured Text markup notation.
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.
