As Barry's reply, this is for 128MB short jump limitation.

ok, I'll change it to pr_debug().thanks.

ok, I'allocate an array of addresses and call aarch64_insn_patch_text() 
once. thanks.

got it, will add check here, thanks.

I'm not sure how to replace aarch64_insn_patch_text(), do you mean using 
aarch64_insn_patch_text_nosync() instead of it?

But in arch_arm_kprobe() on each probe, aarch64_insn_patch_text() is 
used to add BRK64_OPCODE_KPROBES instruction...

Thanks,
