Hmm. I just noticed this patch is buggy. arch_uprobe_disable_step(&uprobe->arch)
is not safe after put_uprobe().

Srikar, I fixed this in my tree with the following change,

	--- kernel/events/uprobes.c~	2012-09-02 16:52:54.000000000 +0200
	+++ kernel/events/uprobes.c	2012-09-08 18:56:44.000000000 +0200
	@@ -1536,10 +1536,10 @@ static void handle_singlestep(struct upr

	+	arch_uprobe_disable_step(&uprobe->arch);
		put_uprobe(uprobe);
		utask->active_uprobe = NULL;
		utask->state = UTASK_RUNNING;
	-	arch_uprobe_disable_step(&uprobe->arch);
		xol_free_insn_slot(current);
	 
		spin_lock_irq(&current->sighand->siglock);

I hope your ack is still valid.

And this also allows us to rely on utask->state in disable_step(), see
the new 8/7 I'll send in a minute. I was going to fix this later, but
I just realized that "disable if trapped" is more buggy than I thought.

Assuming that you are agree with 6 and 8. I'd prefer the new one as a
separate change, but if you prefer to join them please let me know.

Oleg.
