Yes, and there's a missing weak stub function in there too. It was a
surprise to me that declaring an external as weak means that it quietly
ignores the fact there is no definition for it at link time, and makes
it zero. I think there may be some similar land mines elsewhere in the
kernel, unrelated to these changes or uprobes in general.

I have an updated version to go out with the v3 patches. It is working
with v3.12-rc6 on x86 and ARM, to the extent I'm able to test it.
