When returning from the user probe code into userspace process, PC & NPC are truncated to 32 bits. Due to shared libraries getting loaded very high in the virtual address space of the process, placing a user probe inside a shared library makes the kernel return into the process at the wrong address, causing it to seg'fault most of the time. This patch prevents truncating PC and NPC. Signed-off-by: Eric Saint Etienne <eric.saint.etienne@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: David Aldridge <david.j.aldridge@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
