Attached patches following this mail are a port of Kprobes and Jprobes for IA64. I have tesed this patches for kprobes and Jprobes and this seems to work fine. I have tested this patch by inserting kprobes on various slots and various templates including various types of branch instructions. I have also tested this patch using the tool http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m1657358022586&w=2 and the kprobes for IA64 works great. This path depends on http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m1634286225988&w=2 which is in your mm tree. Here is list of TODO things and pathes for the same will appear soon. 1) Support kprobes on "mov r1=ip" type of instruction 2) Support Kprobes and Jprobes to exist on the same address 3) Support Return probes 3) Architecture independent cleanup of kprobes I am sending this mail through quilt and looks like the subject line appear to be same on all patches, sorry about that. Please apply. Thanks, -Anil Keshavamurthy Sr. Software Engineer Open Source Technology Center/SSG Intel Corp. (w) 503-712-4476 --
