The NOKPROBE_SYMBOL macro (and others) were moved to
asm-generic/kprobes.h in 2017 by commit 7d134b2ce639 ("kprobes: move
kprobe declarations to asm-generic/kprobes.h"), and this new header
was included by asm/kprobes.h unconditionally on all architectures.
When kprobe support was added to parisc in 2017 by commit
8858ac8e9e9b1 ("parisc: Implement kprobes"), that header was only
included when CONFIG_KPROBES was enabled.
This can lead to build failures when NOKPROBE_SYMBOL is used, but
CONFIG_KPROBES is disabled. This mistake however was never actually
noticed because linux/kprobes.h also includes asm-generic/kprobes.h
(though I do not understand why that is, because it also includes
asm/kprobes.h).
To prevent eventual build failures, I suggest to always include
asm-generic/kprobes.h on parisc, just like all the other architectures
do. This way, including asm/kprobes.h suffices, and nobody (outside
of arch/) ever needs to explicitly include asm-generic/kprobes.h.
