From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: wangnan0@huawei.com (Wang Nan) Date: Wed, 27 Aug 2014 13:08:29 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] ARM: probes: return directly when emulate not set Message-ID: <1409116109-67330-1-git-send-email-wangnan0@huawei.com> To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org When kprobe decoding instruction, original code calls instruction specific decoder if emulate is set to false. However, instructions with DECODE_TYPE_EMULATE are in fact don't have their decoder. What in the action table are in fact handlers. For example: /* LDRD (immediate) cccc 000x x1x0 xxxx xxxx xxxx 1101 xxxx */ /* STRD (immediate) cccc 000x x1x0 xxxx xxxx xxxx 1111 xxxx */ DECODE_EMULATEX (0x0e5000d0, 0x004000d0, PROBES_LDRSTRD, REGS(NOPCWB, NOPCX, 0, 0, 0)), and const union decode_action kprobes_arm_actions[NUM_PROBES_ARM_ACTIONS] = { ... [PROBES_LDRSTRD] = {.handler = emulate_ldrdstrd}, ... In this situation, original code calls 'emulate_ldrdstrd' as a decoder, which is obviously incorrect. This patch makes it returns INSN_GOOD directly when 'emulate' is not true. Signed-off-by: Wang Nan Cc: "David A.
