Subjectbug in arm_kprobe_decode_insn
Hi

In arch/arm/kernel/kprobes-decode.c there's a function arm_kprobe_decode_insn
which does:

} else if ((insn & 0x0e000000) == 0x0c400000) {
...

This is always false, so code below is dead.

I'm not sure about what was intended here, but I think this change might be correct:

diff --git a/arch/arm/kernel/kprobes-decode.c b/arch/arm/kernel/kprobes-decode.c
index 2c1f005..8f6ed43 100644
--- a/arch/arm/kernel/kprobes-decode.c
+++ b/arch/arm/kernel/kprobes-decode.c

- } else if ((insn & 0x0e000000) == 0x0c400000) {
+ } else if ((insn & 0x0e000000) == 0x0c000000) {

return space_cccc_110x(insn, asi);

I found this bug by coccinelle (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/).
(The script is ugly, so I'm not attaching it here)
