[PATCH] kprobes: fix single-step out of line - take2

[Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli <ananth@in.ibm.com>]

Hi,

Here is the second try to fix the single-step out of line issues for
PPC64 now that the kernel has no-execute support.

x86_64 also has no-execute support and kprobes on x86_64 solved this
issue by allocating an executable kernel page and using it as a scratch
area for instructions to be stepped out of line. Reuse that for PPC64 too.

Thanks,
Ananth


Now that PPC64 has no-execute support, here is a second try to fix the
single step out of line during kprobe execution. Kprobes on x86_64 already
solved this problem by allocating an executable page and using it as the
scratch area for stepping out of line. Reuse that.

Patch against 2.6.12-rc6-git8
