#1626085 — [PATCH v3 0/7] powerpc: a few kprobe fixes and refactoring

v2:
https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org/msg1375870.html

v3 changes:
- Patch 3/5 in the previous series ("powerpc: introduce a new helper to
  obtain function entry points") has been dropped from this series and
  will instead be posted as part of the KPROBES_ON_FTRACE patchset.
- Patch 5/5 in the previous series ("powerpc: kprobes: emulate
  instructions on kprobe handler re-entry") has been split into two
  patches as recommended by Masami. They represent patches 6/7 and 7/7
  in this series.
- Patches 3/7 and 4/7 are new in this series to address review comments
  from David Laight.

#1626095 — [PATCH v3 1/7] kprobes: convert kprobe_lookup_name() to a function

The macro is now pretty long and ugly on powerpc. In the light of
further changes needed here, convert it to a __weak variant to be
over-ridden with a nicer looking function.

BTW, as I pointed, 5/7 and 6/7 should be merged since this actually
makes meaningful change.

Thank you,

Yes, sorry if I wasn't clear in my previous reply in the (!) previous

Yeah I'd definitely like this to be two patches. Otherwise when reading
the combined diff it's much harder to see the change.
