Subject: [PATCH 0/2] dyndbg: let's use the module notifier callback

Hi,

Jim Cromie hit a BUG() while toggling jump label branches in a module
before they were properly initialized. This isn't currently an issue,
but will be as part of his pending classmap series. Seems like we
should covert to using module callback notifier for dynamic debug
anyways. First patch is just a cleanup.

Thanks,

-Jason

Ive rebased my set upon yours, and dropped my RFC-workaround patch.
No panics on uninitialized jump-labels,
and test script works correctly.

Tested-by: Jim Cromie <[email protected]>

I will include your commits in my next send, so theyre testable as a set.

thanks
Jim
