Interesting approach.  Have you been planning to post it to LKML for
review/consideration?


Yes, I've just been waiting for all the debugger-haters there to retire and/or die first. :-)

You may want to rebase your code to the LKML uprobes implementation
already under review, so you don't have to duplicate the rather
intricate logic required to safely manage breakpoints in userspace by
the kernel.

That's a good idea! I haven't updated myself on uprobes state in the past several months, but you're right, it would be good to have a single version of that.
