From 34e1ceb1881ec895ad9b1b52d073f414f3aa87a9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masami Hiramatsu Date: Fri, 28 Mar 2008 14:27:02 -0700 Subject: [IA64] kprobes: kprobe-booster for ia64 Add kprobe-booster support on ia64. Kprobe-booster improves the performance of kprobes by eliminating single-step, where possible. Currently, kprobe-booster is implemented on x86 and x86-64. This is an ia64 port. On ia64, kprobe-booster executes a copied bundle directly, instead of single stepping. Bundles which have B or X unit and which may cause an exception (including break) are not executed directly. And also, to prevent hitting break exceptions on the copied bundle, only the hindmost kprobe is executed directly if several kprobes share a bundle and are placed in different slots. Note: set_brl_inst() is used for preparing an instruction buffer(it does not modify any active code), so it does not need any atomic operation.
