Sorry for top-posting/formatting,

Do you mean arch_uprobe_skip_sstep() ?

Yes, this __weak is wrong, already fixed in my tree. See

Well, this looks obviously wrong. This SET_IP() has the comment ;)

Note also that with this breaks __skip_sstep() on x86.

Oleg.

Yes, and there's a missing weak stub function in there too.  It was a 
surprise to me that declaring an external as weak means that it quietly 
ignores the fact there is no definition for it at link time, and makes 
it zero.  I think there may be some similar land mines elsewhere in the 
kernel, unrelated to these changes or uprobes in general.

I have an updated version to go out with the v3 patches.  It is working 
with v3.12-rc6 on x86 and ARM, to the extent I'm able to test it.
