Hi Masami,
I skimmed through the patches and it they appear fine. I've applied
them and started playing a little.
I've been thinking my function based events, and thought instead I
would make them part of the kprobe infrastructure. Just have a slightly
different format, and instead of being p: or r: be f: And keep the
format I was suggesting.
What do you think?
Also, when looking at the kprobe code, I was looking at this function:

This preemption disabling and enabling looks rather strange. Looking at
git blame, it appears this was added for jprobes. Can we remove it now
that jprobes is going away?
