Hi,
Some good news, I think I've fixed the problem I've been experiencing.
Basically, I've torn out all the interrupt save/restore and have
narrowed the scope to just sandwich the instruction single-step. This
simplifies a lot of logic, and I've now been able to perf record a
kprobe on memcpy (and the trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve + memcpy
test) without any issues on a Juno platform.
I may have been somewhat over-zealous with the chainsaw, so please do
put this fix through its paces.
Cheers,
