tracing, Text Edit Lock - kprobes architecture independent support
Use the mutual exclusion provided by the text edit lock in the kprobes code. It allows coherent manipulation of the kernel code by other subsystems. Changelog: Move the kernel_text_lock/unlock out of the for loops. Use text_mutex directly instead of a function. Remove whitespace modifications. (note : kprobes_mutex is always taken outside of text_mutex) Signed-off-by: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@polymtl.ca> Acked-by: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli <ananth@in.ibm.com> Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com> LKML-Reference: <49B14306.2080202@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
