[PATCHv3 perf/core 06/22] uprobes: Add is_register argument to uprobe_write and uprobe_write_opcode
Posted by Jiri Olsa 6 months, 2 weeks ago
The uprobe_write has special path to restore the original page when we
write original instruction back. This happens when uprobe_write detects
that we want to write anything else but breakpoint instruction.

Moving the detection away and passing it to uprobe_write as argument,
so it's possible to write different instructions (other than just
breakpoint and rest).
