Hi Jovi,

I'll try to read this patch carefully tomorrow.

Looks fine at first glance, but some nits below.

Purely cosmetic and I won't argue, but why the empty lines around
list_for_each_entry() ?

Well, this looks confusing and overcomplicated, see below.

The comment is wrong. It is not that we can't do this "Currently".

We must not do uprobe_register(..., consumer) twice, consumer/uprobe
are linked together.

Just add
if (TP_FLAG_PROFILE)
return -EINTR;

here and kill the complicated check below. Same for the "else" branch.

Well, this is not exactly right... Currently this is fine, but still.

It would be better to clear TP_FLAG_TRACE/TP_FLAG_PROFILE after
uprobe_unregister(), when we can't race with the running handler
which can check ->flags.

And I'd suggest you to send the soft-enable/disable change in a
separate (and trivial) patch.

Oleg.
