[patch 06/10] Text Edit Lock - kprobes architecture independent support

[Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@polymtl.ca>]

[-- Attachment #1: text-edit-lock-kprobes-architecture-independent.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3099 bytes --]

Use the mutual exclusion provided by the text edit lock in the kprobes code. It
allows coherent manipulation of the kernel code by other subsystems.
