Thanks, Arnaldo!

I did however notice that you don't seem to have applied Patch 1/5 from 
this series:
https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org/msg1347858.html

That patch is needed to ensure perf continues to work when ftrace README 
advertises support for ref_reloc_sym+offset for kretprobes. Can you 
please apply that as well?

Yeah I think that's the easiest option. The function will be temporarily
unused until the two trees are merged, but I think that's fine.

The arch-independent change that this depends on has been picked up by 
Arnaldo and pushed to Ingo:
https://www.mail-archive.com/linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org/msg115211.html

I'm guessing this will go into v4.11? In which case, this powerpc patch 
should also go in. Otherwise kretprobes will be broken on powerpc64le.

I wasn't sure if you were planning on picking up KPROBES_ON_FTRACE for 
v4.11. If so, it would be good to take this patch through the powerpc 
tree. Otherwise, this can go via Ingo's tree.

I don't think so, I've put it in a perf/core branch, meaning its not
strictly fixes, could be processed in the next merge window if Ingo
thinks we've passed the current merge window threshold for such kind of
changes, and he merged it into perf/core, meaning, at this time, that it
is aimed for 4.12.

If you guys convince Ingo that this should go _now_, then just cherry
pick what was merged into tip/perf/core that is needed for the arch
specific stuff and go from there.

I don't think so, I've put it in a perf/core branch, meaning its not
strictly fixes, could be processed in the next merge window if Ingo
thinks we've passed the current merge window threshold for such kind of
changes, and he merged it into perf/core, meaning, at this time, that it
is aimed for 4.12.

If you guys convince Ingo that this should go _now_, then just cherry
pick what was merged into tip/perf/core that is needed for the arch
specific stuff and go from there.

I'm OK with this change, and I'm happy for it to go with the rest of the
series via acme's tree:

Acked-by: Michael Ellerman 


But, you've also sent a series to do KPROBES_ON_FTRACE, and that also
touches this function, see the 2nd to last hunk at:

  https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/730675/


If this goes via acme's tree it will be awkward for me to merge the
series above via the powerpc tree.

So we could do topic branches and so on, or we could just drop this
patch from this series, and I'll merge it as part of the other series.
It won't do anything useful until it's merged with a tree that also has
the rest of this series. Or something else I haven't thought of.

cheers

[PATCH v5 2/5] powerpc: kretprobes: override default function entry offset

[Naveen N. Rao]

With ABIv2, we offset 8 bytes into a function to get at the local entry
point.
