[PATCH v2 02/13] uprobes: allow ignoring of probe hits

From: David Long
Date: Tue Oct 15 2013 - 17:08:32 EST


From: "David A. Long" <dave.long@xxxxxxxxxx>

Allow arches to decided to ignore a probe hit. ARM will use this to
only call handlers if the conditions to execute a conditionally executed
instruction are satisfied.

Upleveled for v3.12-rc4.
