[patch 1/1] Allow a jprobe to coexist with muliple kprobes

[patch 1/1] Allow a jprobe to coexist with muliple kprobes

[Prasanna S Panchamukhi]

Hi,

Please provide your comments on the patch below. This patch has
been tested on i386 and x86_64 architecture.

Thanks
Prasanna

Presently either multiple kprobes or only one jprobe could be inserted. This
patch removes the above limitation and allows one jprobe and multiple kprobes to
coexist at the same address.

Any reason why this or other handler functions can't be static ?

Thanks

Good catch, this handler can be made static. I have modified the patch as per 
your comments. Other handlers can also be made static, I will send out another 
patch for that.

Thanks

Presently either multiple kprobes or only one jprobe could be inserted. This
patch removes the above limitation and allows one jprobe and multiple kprobes to
coexist at the same address. However multiple jprobes cannot coexist with 
multiple kprobes. Currently I am working on the prototype to allow multiple 
jprobes coexist with multiple kprobes.
