Hi!

it's x86/jumplabel branch, as a followup to commit 
fd4363fff3d96 ("x86: Introduce int3 (breakpoint)-based instruction 
patching") sitting there.

This branch however seems to be broken by Ingo's mismerge; this e-mail 
from earlier today:

	https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/7/22/147

implied that he fixed this ("all is fine"), however x86/jumplabel still 
contains just 3/3 of Masami's series, and therefore is broken; 3/3 is not 
enough, it needs also

	kprobes/x86: Remove an incorrect comment about int3 in NMI/MCE
	kprobes/x86: Use text_poke_bp() instead of text_poke_smp*()

included or

	kprobes/x86: Remove unused text_poke_smp() and text_poke_smp_batch() functions

dropped to be in consistent state again.

I pinged Ingo about this:

	https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/7/22/281

but the branch still seems to be in an odd state, containing last patch of 
Masami's series.

Thanks in advance for fixing this and applying mi fix as well,
