Hi,
Apologies for looking at these late (I was on holiday).
I've applied this series on top of 3.19, but I get the following compile error:
arch/arm64/kernel/kprobes-arm64.c:23:34: fatal error:
probes-simulate-insn.h: No such file or directory
#include "probes-simulate-insn.h"
^
compilation terminated.
scripts/Makefile.build:257: recipe for target
'arch/arm64/kernel/kprobes-arm64.o' failed
Is something missing from this patch?
Cheers,

Steve
