[PATCH] ARM: probes: return directly when emulate not set

From: Wang Nan
Date: Wed Aug 27 2014 - 01:20:31 EST


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.
