[PATCH 15/18] powerpc/uprobes: Add support for prefixed instructions

From: Jordan Niethe <hidden>
Date: 2019-11-26 05:54:34
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest, uprobes · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds, Masami Hiramatsu, Oleg Nesterov, Peter Zijlstra

Uprobes can execute instructions out of line. Increase the size of the
buffer used  for this so that this works for prefixed instructions. Take
into account the length of prefixed instructions when fixing up the nip.
