[RFC PATCH V2 10/10] arm64: uprobes: check conditions before simulating instructions

From: Steve Capper <steve.capper at linaro.org>
Currently uprobes just simulates any instruction that it can't in
place execute. This can lead to unpredictable behaviour if the
execution condition fails and the instruction wouldn't otherwise
have been executed.
This patch adds the condition check
