From 129415607845d4daea11ddcba706005c69dcb942 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masami Hiramatsu Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2009 14:41:50 -0800 Subject: kprobes: add kprobe_insn_mutex and cleanup arch_remove_kprobe() Add kprobe_insn_mutex for protecting kprobe_insn_pages hlist, and remove kprobe_mutex from architecture dependent code. This allows us to call arch_remove_kprobe() (and free_insn_slot) while holding kprobe_mutex.
