This patch fixes the undefined instruction oops due to execution
of thumb-2 code in ARM mode. The zero bit in the symbol address
returned by kallsyms_lookup_name is not set, leading to switching
to ARM mode that generates oops while executing thumb-2 code. For
detailed discussion, see [1].

v1:
	- include wrapper function kallsyms_lookup_funcptr as suggested
	by Dave Martin

Looks reasonable.

Tixy, could it make sense for that definition of
kallsyms_lookup_funcptr to migrate into the kernel headers?  I had the
impression that you might also have used this in some places, if it
had been available.

Cheers

I don't think so, the problems with kprobes are a bit more involved. The
only candidate for using this new function is in kprobes.c ...

/*
 * Some oddball architectures like 64bit powerpc have function descriptors
 * so this must be overridable.
 */
#ifndef kprobe_lookup_name
#define kprobe_lookup_name(name, addr) \
	addr = ((kprobe_opcode_t *)(kallsyms_lookup_name(name)))
#endif

Replacing the kallsyms_lookup_name() here would make kprobes 'better'
for Thumb (avoid a small runtime overhead and some inconsistencies). But
I don't think that the semantics of the new function match this use, and
if it were desirable, we could overload the above kprobes function from
ARM arch code anyway. In fact, I think I'll propose such a patch...
