2008-04-28kprobes/arm: fix cache flush address for instruction stubNicolas Pitre
It is more useful to flush the cache with the actual buffer address rather than the address containing a pointer to the buffer. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@marvell.com> Acked-by: Lennert Buytenhek <buytenh@marvell.com>

2008-01-26ARM kprobes: special hook for the kprobes breakpoint handlerNicolas Pitre
The kprobes code is already able to cope with reentrant probes, so its handler must be called outside of the region protected by undef_lock. If ever this lock is released when handlers are called then this commit could be reverted. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@marvell.com>

2008-01-26ARM kprobes: core codeAbhishek Sagar
This is a full implementation of Kprobes including Jprobes and Kretprobes support. This ARM implementation does not follow the usual kprobes double- exception model. The traditional model is where the initial kprobes breakpoint calls kprobe_handler(), which returns from exception to execute the instruction in its original context, then immediately re-enters after a second breakpoint (or single-stepping exception) into post_kprobe_handler(), each time the probe is hit.. The ARM implementation only executes one kprobes exception per hit, so no post_kprobe_handler() phase. All side-effects from the kprobe'd instruction are resolved before returning from the initial exception. As a result, all instructions are _always_ effectively boosted regardless of the type of instruction, and even regardless of whether or not there is a post-handler for the probe.
