- Subject: Kprobes Support for ARM arch
Hi All,
Recently we completed the kprobes support for ARM architecture
targetted at 2.6.16 kernel. I have uploaded these patches in the
below CELF wiki page along with few test programs.
This implementation is tested using 2.6.16-24 kernel for
OMAP5912 OSK reference platform.
The patch is available in the below CELF wiki page
http://tree.celinuxforum.org/CelfPubWiki/PatchArchive
The patch can be downloaded directly from here
http://tree.celinuxforum.org/CelfPubWiki/PatchArchive?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=kprobes-arm-patches-2.6.16.24.tgz
This implementation supports only kprobes and doesnot
support any other variants like jprobes, kretprobes etc.
Also it doesnot support branch/jump instructions probing.
I noticed some discussions regarding ARM kprobes in the
archive. We are open to suggestions and how this implementation can
be improved.
Best Regards
Madhvesh
