[PATCH 4/4] [RFC] Use generic ARM instruction set condition code checks for kprobes.

Leif Lindholm leif.lindholm at arm.com
Mon Nov 21 13:31:04 EST 2011


This patch changes the kprobes implementation to use the generic ARM
instruction set condition code checks, rather than a dedicated
implementation.

Note, this is a direct interface change, and the resulting code is not
the prettiest, but this is an RFC only.

This code builds and links, but current 3.2-rc2 does not boot on my
Versatile Express board with CONFIG_ARM_KPROBES_TEST enabled either
with or without this patch.
