[PATCH 0/2] uprobes: typeof(arch_uprobe->insn) cleanups

[Oleg Nesterov]

Hello.

Ananth, could you please explicitly ack or nack 2/2 ? It is
really simple, but obviously I can't test it. And even if it
is correct it should be merged only if you like it, this is
the minor cleanup.

Oleg.

[PATCH 1/2] uprobes: Don't assume that arch_uprobe->insn/ixol is u8[MAX_UINSN_BYTES]

[Oleg Nesterov]

arch_uprobe should be opaque as much as possible to the generic
code, but currently it assumes that insn/ixol must be u8[] of the
known size. Remove this unnecessary dependency, we can use "&" and
and sizeof() with the same effect.

[PATCH 2/2] uprobes/powerpc: Kill arch_uprobe->ainsn

[Oleg Nesterov]

powerpc has both arch_uprobe->insn and arch_uprobe->ainsn to
make the generic code happy. This is no longer needed after
the previous change, powerpc can just use "u32 insn".

The changes look good and I have acked it.
