David. Perhaps we can avoid the new hook altogether? What if we do
the simple change below (it ignores powerpc) ?

Then arm can add "unsigned long ixol[2]" into its arch_uprobe, and
arch_uprobe_analyze_insn() can initialize this member correctly.

What do you think?

Seriouly, how about the patch below?

In fact, given that you are going to reimplement set_swbp/orig_insn,
the new member is not strictly needed (afaics). But it looks more
clear this way, and we need s/MAX_UINSN_BYTES/sizeof()/ anyway.

Oleg.



Sorry for the delay, have not quite been successful in getting this to work yet. Hopefully will have better results shortly.
