Subject: [PATCH 0/5] kprobes: Bugfix and improvements

Hi,

Recently while staring at kprobes code for an unrelated task, I
noticed some opportunities for improving the code.

The first patch fixes a long standing bug in kprobes debug
functionality. The remaining patches (marked RFC) refactor the code to
increase code sharing, improve readability and remove redundancy.

All feedback welcome.

Thanks,
Punit

  kprobes: Do not use local variable when creating debugfs file
  kprobes: Use helper to parse boolean input from userspace
  kprobe: Simplify prepare_kprobe() by dropping redundant version
  csky: ftrace: Drop duplicate implementation of
    arch_check_ftrace_location()
  kprobes: Make arch_check_ftrace_location static
