[PATCH 3/9] uprobes: allow arch access to xol slot

David Long dave.long at linaro.org
Thu Aug 1 19:45:47 EDT 2013


From: Rabin Vincent <rabin at rab.in>

Allow arches to customize how the instruction is filled into the xol
slot.  ARM will use this to insert an undefined instruction after the
real instruction in order to simulate a single step of the instruction
without hardware support.
