[ltt-dev] [PATCH] ARM: Set bit 0 for thumb mode in kallsyms_lookup_name returned address

Fri Sep 16 06:58:04 EDT 2011


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].
