uprobes: Cleanup !CONFIG_UPROBES decls, unexport xol_area
1. Don't include asm/uprobes.h unconditionally, we only need it if CONFIG_UPROBES. 2. Move the definition of "struct xol_area" into uprobes.c. Perhaps we should simply kill struct uprobes_state, it buys nothing. 3. Kill the dummy definition of uprobe_get_swbp_addr(), nobody except handle_swbp() needs it. 4. Purely cosmetic, but move the decl of uprobe_get_swbp_addr() up, close to other __weak helpers. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Acked-by: Srikar Dronamraju <srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
