These '__visible' are inherited from x86 code. Commit 04bb591 adds them explicitly.
It is part from https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/5/595 , which is a patch series
to make all C functions which may be called from asm code LTO safety. Without
such __visible directive, LTO may do some asm-unfriendly optimization, like
triming them all because gcc think they are not used.

This is my old habit... I'll fix it in next version.

Agree.

So I think we have to push a flag into stack for it.

I didn't think about ARM -> Thumb switching before. Thank you for your fix!

I find that the insn page allocation function 'alloc_insn_page' uses 'module_alloc(PAGE_SIZE);'
to alloc insn slots, which is unfortunately only ensures 1 byte aligned.
I'd like to deal with it in my next version.

Due to this modification, the above

  memcpy(buf, &optprobe_template_entry, TMPL_END_IDX);

sould also change to

  memcpy(buf, &optprobe_template_entry,
                 TMPL_END_IDX * sizeof(kprobe_opcode_t));


Also, if we ensure 'buf' is 4 bytes aligned, we can use 'kprobe_opcode_t *code' to replace 'u8 *buf'
totally to clean our code.
