[PATCH 12/X] uprobes: x86: introduce abort_xol()

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Wed Oct 19 2011 - 17:58:55 EST


A separate "patch", just to emphasize that I do not know what
actually abort_xol() should do! I do not understand this asm
magic.

This patch simply changes regs->ip back to the probed insn,
obviously this is not enough to handle UPROBES_FIX_*. Please
take care.

If it is not clear, abort_xol() is needed when we should
re-execute the original insn (replaced with int3), see the
next patch.
