Subject: x86_64 RIP-relative addressing bug
Organization:

A while ago, I took an AR to summarize our ideas for fixing the bug in
x86_64 kprobes's handling of RIP-relative addressing.  Here are my
thoughts, including a variety of suggested solutions.  This writeup
includes suggestions from Prasanna a few weeks ago.  I'm not sure where
Prasanna is on this bug fix.

Further suggestions are welcome.
