Re: [PATCH] MIPS: KProbes support v0.1

I have a few questions and comments below. Many of them may be due to my lack of understanding about the internals of KProbes.

It might be cleaner without the #ifdef. These are enum value definitions, so it doesn't affect code size.


Can you also explain how the die notifier chain interacts with KProbes and why it cannot be a seperate notifier chain?

The BREAK codes are defined in asm/break.h This should be added there instead.

Why do you use codes (0 and 5) that are already kind of reserved for user space debuggers?

+#define MAX_INSN_SIZE 			2

+#define flush_insn_slot(p)		do { \
+        /* invalidate I-cache */             \

+        /* invalidate D-cache */             \
+        asm volatile("cache 9, 0($0)");      \
+        } while(0);
+

You have to call a function in arch/mips/mm/c-* to do this, you cannot open code with CACHE instructions as you need to handle CPU quirks and SMP. It is possible that flush_icache_range() or flush_cache_sigtramp() would work. Or we might need something new.

I see you use flush_icache_range() below, why have this definition, it looks unused?

Why this ugliness?  Can't you handle it in do_bp() or  do_trap_or_bp()?
