I need to read this (hopefully final) version carefully. I'll try to do
this before next Monday.
   

Monday may be the opening of the merge window (more likely Sunday). Do
you think this is good enough for pushing it in this late in the game,
or do you think we should wait another cycle?

We (Facebook) have use cases in production that would benefit from this work, so
I would rather see this gets in sooner than later. After a brief
review (I will more
careful review before Monday), I think this set is not likely to break
existing uprobes
(those w/o ref_ctr). Therefore, I think it is safe to put it in this cycle.
  

It's still going under review, and the merge window is now open. I'd
prefer that this waits till the next merge window.

But this said, patch 1&2 look simple enough to include this merge
window. I'll pull them in and start testing.
