Subject: [PATCH 4.7 053/141] MIPS: uprobes: remove incorrect set_orig_insn
Date: Thu,  6 Oct 2016 10:28:09 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161006074451.026361646@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20161006074448.608056610@linuxfoundation.org>

4.7-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Marcin Nowakowski <marcin.nowakowski@imgtec.com>

commit ddabfa5c2e33f1b495f3e0176de7057850915c0b upstream.

Generic kernel code implements a weak version of set_orig_insn that
moves cached 'insn' from arch_uprobe to the original code location when
the trap is removed.
MIPS variant used arch_uprobe->orig_inst which was never initialised
properly, so this code only inserted a nop instead of the original
instruction. With that change orig_inst can also be safely removed.
