In order to re-write Jcc.d32 instructions text_poke_bp() needs to be taught about them. The biggest hurdle is that the whole machinery is currently made for 5 byte instructions and extending this would grow struct text_poke_loc which is currently a nice 16 bytes and used in an array. However, since text_poke_loc contains a full copy of the (s32) displacement, it is possible to map the Jcc.d32 2 byte opcodes to Jcc.d8 1 byte opcode for the int3 emulation. This then leaves the replacement bytes; fudge that by only storing the last 5 bytes and adding the rule that 'length == 6' instruction will be prefixed with a 0x0f byte.

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.
