Hi Andrew,

Here is a resend of the Text Edit Lock patchset (only 2 patches). It consists of
a mutex that serializes code modification. Used by kprobes and the immediate
values.

Dependencies :

#Kprobes mutex cleanup
kprobes-use-mutex-for-insn-pages.patch
kprobes-dont-use-kprobes-mutex-in-arch-code.patch
kprobes-declare-kprobes-mutex-static.patch
#Enhance DEBUG_RODATA support
x86-enhance-debug-rodata-support-alternatives.patch
x86-enhance-debug-rodata-support-for-hotplug-and-kprobes.patch

It applies on top of 2.6.24-git12 in this order:

#Text Edit Lock (depends on Enhance DEBUG_RODATA and kprobes mutex cleanup)
text-edit-lock-architecture-independent-code.patch
text-edit-lock-kprobes-architecture-independent-support.patch


Mathieu
