This is to make the x86 kprobe_ftrace_handler() more common so that the code could be reused in future.While I agree with the change in general, I can't find anything which reuses that code. So the change log is pretty useless and I have no idea how this is related to the rest of the series.
In v1, this code is moved from x86 to common kprobes.c [1] But I agree with Masami, consolidation could be done when arm64 kprobes on ftrace is stable. In v2, actually, the arm64 version's kprobe_ftrace_handler() is the same as x86's, the only difference is comment, e.g /* Kprobe handler expects regs->ip = ip + 1 as breakpoint hit */ while in arm64 /* Kprobe handler expects regs->pc = ip + 1 as breakpoint hit */ W/ above, any suggestion about the suitable change log?
