Due to a long-standing issue with Thumb symbol lookup [1] the jprobes
tests fail when built into a kernel compiled as Thumb mode. (They work
fine for ARM mode kernels or for Thumb when built as a loadable module.)

Rather than have this problem terminate testing prematurely lets instead
emit an error message and carry on with the main kprobes tests, delaying
the final failure report until the end.

Tixy,

Sorry for the delay in responding.

Because this (correctly) was marked as having no interdependencies it 
got marked as "applied" in the patch-tracker.  That is why I omitted it 
from my v7 patches (although I should have just submitted it separately 
in the first place).  I don't see it in the linux-arm tree though, so I 
guess we do still need it.  If you haven't yet you might want to double 
check that.

I'm happy ack'ing this (if that's useful to you :-).

Yes, I now see this in Russell's patch tracker (with a less verbose
commit message) as patch 7978, and it's marked as "Applied to git-curr
(uprobes branch)". Perhaps it got dropped along with the rest of the
uprobes branch when the config problems were discovered, Russell?

I have two other kprobes test fixes in this patches series, and was
planning on sending a pull request, or submitting to the patch tracker,
after the merge window has closed, so they can head into 3.16. (I posted
these a bit late for 3.15 and as the bugs they fix have been there since
day one I didn't think it warranted expediting).

If it was applied to the uprobes branch, and it wasn't part of David's
uprobes git pull request, then yes, it doesn't exist anymore.

OK.  Just to be absolutely clear:  this doesn't create any new problem, 
but we do then need it in Tixy's new patchset in order to fix this older 
bug.

Okay, so I'll just wait for Tixy's patch set then?

You don't have to delay anything, just eventually (e.g.: v3.16) take 
Tixy's patch as  a separate patch fixing this old bug.  The uprobes 
stuff is fine just as it is.  There are no interdependencies.

In case you are talking at crossed purposes. The uprobes code which
Russell has already pulled into his tree, and is in linux-next, is fine,
nothing need changing, and is safe to go into 3.15.

The 3 patches I posted, which this is in reply to, are for fixes for
minor bugs in kprobes which have been there for 3 years, and can wait
for 3.16.
