[PATCH 3.19 v2 1/3] x86: Fix off-by-one in the instruction decoder length checks
From: Andy Lutomirski
Date: Mon Jan 12 2015 - 18:04:27 EST
If next_byte + sizeof(t) == end_kaddr, then we are trying to read
exactly to the end; this should be allowed.
Fixes: 6ba48ff46f76 x86: Remove arbitrary instruction size limit in instruction decoder
