[PATCH v7 3.2-rc2 6/30] uprobes: define fixups.

From: Srikar Dronamraju
Date: Fri Nov 18 2011 - 06:34:03 EST



During the first insertion of a probepoint, instruction is analyzed for
fixups and cached in the per-uprobe struct. On a probehit, the cached
fixup is used. Fixup analysis and caching is done in arch-specific
code.
