Hello all, I developed a series of patches which unifies kprobes code on x86 and introduces boosters on x86-64. These patches can be applied to 2.6.24-rc4-mm1.
The purpose of this patchset is unifying kprobes_[32|64].[c|h] to kprobes.[c|h] for simplifying code maintenance. I know these patches are conflicting with Harvey's patch. We need to solve that. kprobe-booster and kretprobe-booster were explained in: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=113862526017068&w=2 Currently, these patches do unification as following order. 1. Clean up and fix bugs in kprobes[1/6, 2/6]. 2. Introduce kprobe-booster and kretprobe-booster for x86-64[3/6, 4/6]. (x86-32 kprobes already has same functionalities) 3. Prepare unification[5/6]. 4. Unify kprobes code[6/6]. If you have any comment, please let me know. Best Regards, -- Masami Hiramatsu Software Engineer Hitachi Computer Products (America) Inc.
