The assumption that the target code is ARM appears to be buried all over
the place.

Certainly this code as currently written must depend on !THUMB2_KERNEL.

However, there's an underlying problem here which we'd need to solve.
The kprobes code can take advantage of the fact that the kernel is all
ARM or (almost) all Thumb code.  So there is no support for kprobes
supporting ARM and Thumb at the same time.

With userspace, we don't have this luxury.  With Debian armhf, Ubuntu
and Linaro building Thumb-2 userspaces, it may be an increasingly common
configuration independently of whether the kernel is built in Thumb-2
or not.

Furthermode, there is no such thing as a pure Thumb-2 system in practice:
PLTs are always ARM, for example.  For uprobes to work well in userspace,
both should be supported together.

I only skimmed the patches fairly quickly, so apologies if you do in fact
handle this -- but I don't see any evidence of it right now.

Cheers
