Tiezhu Yang fcf77d0162 LoongArch: Mark some assembler symbols as non-kprobe-able
Some assembler symbols are not kprobe safe, such as handle_syscall (used
as syscall exception handler), *memset*/*memcpy*/*memmove* (may cause
recursive exceptions), they can not be instrumented, just blacklist them
for kprobing.

Here is a related problem and discussion:

Huacai Chen a275a82dcd LoongArch: Use alternative to optimize libraries
Use the alternative to optimize common libraries according whether CPU
has UAL (hardware unaligned access support) feature, including memset(),
memcopy(), memmove(), copy_user() and clear_user().

We have tested UnixBench on a Loongson-3A5000 quad-core machine (1.6GHz):
