Subject: [PATCH 2/2] powerpc/booke: Add kprobes support for
booke style processors
This patch is based on work done by Madhvesh. R. Sulibhavi back in
March 2007.
We refactor some of the single step handling since it differs between
classic and booke powerpc cores

No!!, this code cannot be removed. My tests fail
while doing the probe test for do_gettimeofday and __kmalloc.
I get Oops and Segfault. I think i had got similar results
in my initial port using 2.6.26.39. Here

Hi Kumar,
I could switch to different version of binutils and
boot the recent git for ebony target. The kprobes
booke patches attached below got applied and
i didnot see any issues. These patches can be
now pushed to main line?
Below is the revised patch set after addressing some
cleanups in

I think the block code under CONFIG_BOOKE may not
be required now if exception

This is a patch that adds kprobes support for book-e style debug. Its
based on the patch posted by Madhvesh and assumes the
exception cleanup
that I've already posted.
Thanks for your forward port of my previous kprobes patches.
Few months

This looks like the binutils problem

Um, weird. What version of binutils and gcc are you using?
binutils

What build issues? Ebony should build fine for 2.6.26-rc3, unless
you're trying to apply this patchset to it without the other
patches it
requires.
I am trying without kprobes patches. I get build error
as below
