I try 3.14 and find that my patch can clearly 'git am' to v3.14.21. By a quick
search I also find that my patch happends to be exactly same to

http://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/linaro-kernel/2014-January/010346.html

Which is the original patch of upstream 888be25402021a425da3e85e2d5a954d7509286e.

The above linaro thread also includes some adjustments to kprobe test code. I prefer
not to push them to stable because bugs in kprobe-test are not real problems.

I'll resend the patch by replying this mail with modified commit message.

Thanks.
