[PATCH 2/2] powerpc/booke: Add kprobes support for booke style processors

Kumar Gala galak at kernel.crashing.org
Thu Jun 26 17:05:48 EST 2008


This patch is based on work done by Madhvesh. R. Sulibhavi back in
March 2007.

We refactor some of the single step handling since it differs between
"classic" and "booke" powerpc cores.
