Re: [PATCH 0/5] ARM64: Uprobe support added

[Pratyush Anand]

Hi Will/Catalin,

So far there is no comment which would require any modification in
this patch set. However, a rebase would be required, because we have a
fixup "arm64: Improve kprobes test for atomic sequence" in the next
now. Also, since we have "arm64: kprobe: Always clear pstate.D in
breakpoint exception handler" in next, so I can remove __kprobes tag
from uprobe_breakpoint_handler() and uprobe_single_step_handler().

Do you think that these patches are good to be taken for 4.9? If yes,
then I will send a quick V2 with above modifications.
