In-Reply-To: <1423743476-11927-1-git-send-email-wangnan0@huawei.com> References: <1423743476-11927-1-git-send-email-wangnan0@huawei.com> Message-ID: <1423743566-12137-1-git-send-email-wangnan0@huawei.com> To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org Currently, x86 kprobes is unable to boost 2 bytes nop like: nopl 0x0(%rax,%rax,1) which is 0x0f 0x1f 0x44 0x00 0x00. Such nops have exactly 5 bytes which is able to hold a relative jmp instruction. Boosting them should be obviously safe. This patch enable boosting such nops by simply updating twobyte_is_boostable[] array.
