mn10300 doesn't use kprobe_ctlblk (or prev_kprobe).  Nor does the core
kernel kprobes code.  So these are arch-specific things and shouldn't
be referenced from include/linux/kprobes.h at all.  I think - I didn't
look super-closely at it.

So an appropriate fix for this would be to move the references to
prev_kprobe/kprobe_ctlblk out of include/linux/kprobes.h and into
asm/kprobes.h.  Presumably via include/asm-generic/kprobes.h in some
fashion.

Have you tested this patch on mn10300?  Does kprobes actually work on
mn10300?  Perhaps not, and the solution here is to disable kprobes on
that arch until someone fixes it all up.


Please resend any mn10300 fixes which you still have pending.  Please
be a bit more sparing in the cc's when doing so ;)
