But I disagree with this change. I think we should simply kill uprobe_exception_nb and unexport arch_uprobe_exception_notify on x86/powerpc, and in fact I was going to do this a long ago. I'll send the patch later. Until then please add the dummy arch_uprobe_exception_notify() like arch/arm does, to make the generic code happy. Oleg.
