There is no need to prohibit probing on the functions
used in preparation phase. Those are safely probed because
those are not invoked from breakpoint/fault/debug handlers,
there is no chance to cause recursive exceptions.
Following functions are now removed from the kprobes blacklist:
can_boost
can_probe
can_optimize
is_IF_modifier
__copy_instruction
copy_optimized_instructions
arch_copy_kprobe
arch_prepare_kprobe
arch_arm_kprobe
arch_disarm_kprobe
arch_remove_kprobe
arch_trampoline_kprobe
arch_prepare_kprobe_ftrace
arch_prepare_optimized_kprobe
arch_check_optimized_kprobe
arch_within_optimized_kprobe
__arch_remove_optimized_kprobe
arch_remove_optimized_kprobe
arch_optimize_kprobes
arch_unoptimize_kprobe
I tested those functions by putting kprobes on all
instructions in the functions with the bash script
I sent to LKML. See:

Pull x86/asmlinkage changes from Ingo Molnar:
"As a preparation for Andi Kleen's LTO patchset (link time
optimizations using GCC's -flto which build time optimization has
steadily increased in quality over the past few years and might
eventually be usable for the kernel too) this tree includes a handful
of preparatory patches that make function calling convention
annotations consistent again:
- Mark every function without arguments (or 64bit only) that is used
by assembly code with asmlinkage()
- Mark every function with parameters or variables that is used by
assembly code as __visible.
For the vanilla kernel this has documentation, consistency and
debuggability advantages, for the time being"
