Subject: [PATCH] Return probe redesign: x86_64 specific changes
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.13-rc1~51^2~4
X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ba8af12f432c4f00ddb0bc1068b57b20aac93ecf;p=pandora-kernel.git

[PATCH] Return probe redesign: x86_64 specific changes

The following patch contains the x86_64 specific changes for the new
return probe design.  Changes include:
 * Removing the architecture specific functions for querying a return probe
   instance off a stack address
 * Complete rework onf arch_prepare_kretprobe() and trampoline_probe_handler()
 * Removing trampoline_post_handler()
 * Adding arch_init() so that now we handle registering the return probe
   trampoline instead of kernel/kprobes.c doing it

NOTE:
Note that with this new design, the dependency on calculating a pointer to
the task off the stack pointer no longer exist (resolving the problem of
interruption stacks as pointed out in the original feedback to this port.)
