2005-06-23[PATCH] Kprobes IA64: arch_prepare_kprobes() cleanupAnil S Keshavamurthy
arch_prepare_kprobes() was doing lots of functionality in just one single function. This patch attempts to clean up arch_prepare_kprobes() by moving specific sub task to the following (new)functions 1)valid_kprobe_addr() -->> validate the given kprobe address 2)get_kprobe_inst(slot..)->> Retrives the instruction for a given slot from the bundle 3)prepare_break_inst() -->> Prepares break instruction within the bundle 3a)update_kprobe_inst_flag()-->>Updates the internal flags, required for proper emulation of the instruction at later point in time.

2005-06-23[PATCH] Kprobes ia64 qp fixRusty Lynch
Fix a bug where a kprobe still fires when the instruction is predicated off. So given the p6=0, and we have an instruction like: (p6) move loc1=0 we should not be triggering the kprobe. This is handled by carrying over the qp section of the original instruction into the break instruction.

2005-06-23[PATCH] Kprobes ia64 cleanupRusty Lynch
A cleanup of the ia64 kprobes implementation such that all of the bundle manipulation logic is concentrated in arch_prepare_kprobe(). With the current design for kprobes, the arch specific code only has a chance to return failure inside the arch_prepare_kprobe() function. This patch moves all of the work that was happening in arch_copy_kprobe() and most of the work that was happening in arch_arm_kprobe() into arch_prepare_kprobe(). By doing this we can add further robustness checks in arch_arm_kprobe() and refuse to insert kprobes that will cause problems.
