RFC: kprobes support for ppc32

From: Kumar Gala <hidden>
Date: 2007-01-30 06:15:56

Here's a first cut on ppc32 support for kprobes.  I haven't tested this, 
but I think I got all the places that needed fixing up.

Kumar,

This looks fine (very similar to a patch I had done, but couldn't test
it for lack of hardware).

This should probably be split int a macro.



also I think you should not define kprobe_lookup_name for the 32bit
case as the generic version should be fine for ppc32

Right. 32bit powerpc uses the SVR4 ABI and hence can just use the
generic version. In addition, since 32bit powerpc implementations don't
have a TD/TDI, they can be stubbed out too in the is_trap() check.

Book-e's debug handling/architecture is significantly different than  
most other PPCs.  I'll look at adding support for it in the future.

Seems like a bit of a waste, for 6 lines of code.  I'm not exactly  
sure what you're envisioning here.

case as the generic version should be fine for ppc32

Ok, I'll look into that.
