Redundant ().

I also don't see a reason not to do the following:

	return arm_check_condition(cc << 28, cpsr) != ARM_OPCODE_CONDTEST_FAIL;

Up to you, though.  The presence of "ret" is harmless; the compiler
ought to generate the exact same code in any case.

Use the appropriate symbolic constant for this comparison.

Not sure why you make this change, surely you can just leave it as static?

Maybe it's best just to change all of the callers to call
arm_check_condition directly, like you have done below for the ARM case. For
the Thumb cases will it work if you make sure that you put the condition
code in the top bits?

As the function is now only a wrapper on arm_check_condition (with an 
inline shift), it made more sense to me. This was also suggested by 
Tixy, and he's since ACKed this patch.

Yes, that is functionally equivalent, and what I did in the RFC version, 
but it ended up looking messy at the calling point.
Also, since in the other locations test_check_cc is actually used to 
check conditions for Thumb instructions (rather than ARM), it makes 
sense to me to wrap it behind something that doesn't appear to suggest 
otherwise.

Any sane compiler should generate pretty identical code for these two 
alternative solutions (unless it neglected to auto-inline the static 
variant).

Hmm, I still don't see why you should change the linkage. Make it static
inline if you really want the inline, but that seems weird outside of a
header file stub.

Ok, then could you route the ARM variant through the wrapper too?

The problem is when somebody else decides to call test_check_cc from another
compilation unit, rather than go through arm_check_condition.

I would have preferred the opposite, but that would seem to require more
invasive changes to the Thumb handling code (at least for the
'kprobe_test_flags & TEST_FLAG_NO_ITBLOCK' case). Will do.

As you pointed out later, it does need to be static, to avoid potential
linkage issues. (I always incorrectly imagine that 'inline' is a
glorified macro.)

The function Leif added is for checking the condition code in an ARM
instruction, so it doesn't need a wrapper when used for this.

The other locations in the kprobes tests get the condition nibble from
the ITSATE or from thumb conditional branch instructions. In these cases
the code looks cleaner if the condition is passed as a value between 0x0
and 0xf, rather than being shift up to bit position 28 where the
conditional ARM instructions have it encoded.

It doesn't, but...

I did what Will suggested though, and it does make it a bit cleaner. It
also moves the ARM_OPCODE_* testing out of the test_context_cpsr code,
so that all three cases have the probe_should_run setting pretty much
identical.

I'll post the updated set shortly, so you can have a look.

[PATCH 0/4] Add generic ARM ISA condition code check v3

[Leif Lindholm]

There are several locations in the kernel where software needs to
inspect the condition codes of trapped instructions. The original
bitmask implementation in the nwfpe code does this in an efficient
manner. This series breaks this code out of nwfpe/fpopcode.{ch} into
a standalone file for opcode operations, and contains additional
patches to kprobes and SWP eumlation to use this interface.

---

Set updated based on Will's feedback.

Leif Lindholm (4):
      Add generic ARM instruction set condition code checks.
      Use generic ARM instruction set condition code checks for nwfpe.
      Add condition code checking to SWP emulation handler.
      Use generic ARM instruction set condition code checks for kprobes.

[PATCH 1/4] Add generic ARM instruction set condition code checks.

[Leif Lindholm]

This patch breaks the ARM condition checking code out of nwfpe/fpopcode.{ch}
into a standalone file for opcode operations. It also modifies the code
somewhat for coding style adherence, and adds some temporary variables for
increased readability.

[PATCH 2/4] Use generic ARM instruction set condition code checks for nwfpe.

[Leif Lindholm]

This patch changes the nwfpe implementation to use the new generic
ARM instruction set condition code checks, rather than a local
implementation. It also removes the existing condition code checking,
which has been used for the generic support (in kernel/opcodes.{ch}).

This code has not been tested beyond building, linking and booting.

[PATCH 3/4] Add condition code checking to SWP emulation handler.

[Leif Lindholm]

This patch fixes two separate issues with the SWP emulation handler:
1: Certain processors implementing ARMv7-A can (legally) take an
   undef exception even when the condition code would have meant that
   the instruction should not have been executed.
2: Opcodes with all flags set (condition code = 0xf) have been reused
   in recent, and not-so-recent, versions of the ARM architecture to
   implement unconditional extensions to the instruction set. The
   existing code would still have processed any undefs triggered by
   executing an opcode with such a value.

This patch uses the new generic ARM instruction set condition code
checks to implement proper handling of these situations.
