We have three pieces here: [PATCH 1/5] uprobes: Use a helper instead of ptrace's single step [PATCH 2/5] x86/uprobes: implement x86 specific arch_uprobe_*_step
following Oleg's suggestion to allow single stepping over an uprobe. [PATCH 3/5] uprobes: remove check for uprobe variable in [PATCH 4/5] uprobes: probe definiton can only start with 'p' and '-' category cleanup. [RFC 5/5] uprobes: add global breakpoints global breakpoints. There is no gdb interface available in terms of "how do I know that that a program hit a global breakpoint" and not doing ps or "cat trace" all the time.
