[PATCH 1/6] uprobes: copy_insn() shouldn't depend on mm/vma/vaddr

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Wed Jun 13 2012 - 14:52:08 EST


1. copy_insn() doesn't need "addr", it can use uprobe->offset.
Remove this argument.

2. Change copy_insn/__copy_insn to accept "struct file*" instead
of vma.

copy_insn() is called only once and mm/vma/vaddr are random, it
shouldn't depend on them.
