[PATCH 2/9] uprobes: allow ignoring of probe hits

David Long dave.long at linaro.org
Thu Aug 1 19:45:46 EDT 2013


From: Rabin Vincent <rabin at rab.in>

Allow arches to decided to ignore a probe hit.  ARM will use this to
only call handlers if the conditions to execute a conditionally executed
instruction are satisfied.

Upleveled for v3.10-rc7.
