Using Rabin Vincent's ARM uprobes patches as a base, enable uprobes support on ARM.
Caveats:
- Thumb is not supported
Many people are using Thumb userspace these days (including Linaro)...
Can you explain what would be needed to get that working?

The infrastructure should easily allow the addition of thumb support. At the lowest levels this is mostly the same code that implements kprobes, which handles thumb. I see Rabin had concerns about whether the current higher-level code has the ability to pass through the indication that the probe is for thumb or not. I have nothing to add to that at this time. As we look at supporting thumb that will likely be the first issue to address.
