[PATCH 3/6] arm64: Add support for hooks to handle undefined instructions

Punit Agrawal punit.agrawal at arm.com
Tue Aug 26 03:28:47 PDT 2014


Add support to register hooks for undefined instructions. The handlers
will be called when the undefined instruction and the processor state
(as contained in pstate) match criteria used at registration.

Note: The patch only deals with ARM instruction encodings and needs
fixing to handle thumb instructions as well.
