[RFC][ PATCH -tip 2/6] kprobes: introducing generic insn_slotframework

From: Masami Hiramatsu
Date: Fri Jun 12 2009 - 18:49:31 EST


Make insn_slot framework support various size slots.
Current insn_slot just supports one-size instruction buffer slot. However,
kprobes jump optimization needs larger size buffers.
