2013-02-01MIPS: Whitespace cleanup.Ralf Baechle
Having received another series of whitespace patches I decided to do this once and for all rather than dealing with this kind of patches trickling in forever. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
2011-12-07MIPS Kprobes: Support branch instructions probingManeesh Soni
This patch provides support for kprobes on branch instructions. The branch instruction at the probed address is actually emulated and not executed out-of-line like other normal instructions. Instead the delay-slot instruction is copied and single stepped out of line. At the time of probe hit, the original branch instruction is evaluated and the target cp0_epc is computed similar to compute_retrun_epc(). It is also checked if the delay slot instruction can be skipped, which is true if there is a NOP in delay slot or branch is taken in case of branch likely instructions. Once the delay slot instruction is single stepped the normal execution resume with the cp0_epc updated the earlier computed cp0_epc as per the branch instructions.

2010-08-05MIPS: kprobe: Add support.David Daney
This patch is based on previous work by Sony and Himanshu Chauhan. I have done some cleanup and implemented JProbes and KRETPROBES. The KRETPROBES part is pretty much copied verbatim from powerpc. A possible future enhance might be to factor out the common code.
