ARM: kprobes: Use conditional breakpoints for ARM probes
Now we no longer trigger probes on conditional instructions when the condition is false, we can make use of conditional instructions as breakpoints in ARM code to avoid taking unnecessary exceptions. Note, we can't rely on not getting an exception when the condition check fails, as that is Implementation Defined on newer ARM architectures. We therefore still need to perform manual condition checks as well. Signed-off-by: Jon Medhurst <tixy@yxit.co.uk> Acked-by: Nicolas Pitre <nicolas.pitre@linaro.org>
