The patch looks good to me, but I have a question because I know nothing
about insn encoding,

and the "else" branch does

auprobe->push.ilen = 1;

you could add
auprobe->push.ilen = insn->length;

at the end of push_setup_xol_ops() instead, but this is minor/cosmetic,

OK, but shouldn't we also return ENOSYS if CONFIG_X86_64=y but the probed task is 32bit?

Or in this case uprobe_init_insn(x86_64 => false) should fail and push_setup_xol_ops()
won't be called?
