[PATCH v1 2/9] uretprobes: Reserve the first slot in xol_vma for trampoline

From: Anton Arapov
Date: Wed Apr 03 2013 - 12:03:59 EST


Allocate trampoline page, as the very first one in uprobed
task xol area, and fill it with breakpoint opcode.

Also introduce get_trampoline_vaddr() helper, to wrap the
trampoline address extraction from area->vaddr. That removes
confusion and eases the debug experience in case ->vaddr
notion will be changed.

v1 changes:
* rework get_trampoline_vaddr() helper.
* init xol_area->slot_count.
