So maybe something like this:
void smp_replace_instruction(void *info) {
struct ins_replace_args *parms;
parms = (struct ins_replace_args *) info;
*parms->addr = *parms->insn
}
void __kprobes arch_arm_kprobe(struct kprobe *p)
{
struct ins_replace_args parms;
parms.addr = p->addr;
parms.insn = BREAKPOINT_INSTRUCTION
preempt_disable();
smp_call_function(smp_replace_instruction, &parms, 0, 1);
preempt_enable();
}
Thanks
Mike
