[Xen-devel] [PATCH for-4.5] xen/arm: Correct the opcode for BUG_INSTR on arm32



A 0 was forgotten when the arm32 BUG instruction opcode has been added in commit
3e802c6ca1fb9a9549258c2855a57cad483f3cbd "xen/arm: Correctly support WARN_ON".

This will result to use a valid instruction (mcreq 0, 3, r0, cr15, cr0, {7}),
and inhibit usage of BUG/WARN_ON and co.

Not sure, why I dropped the 0 when I implemented the patch...
This is a bug fixed for Xen 4.5. This is only affected ARM32 where the
BUG opcode was malformed.

With the malformed opcode, the ASSERT/BUG_ON is skipped and the
processor may execute another patch (because the compiler has optimized
due the unreachable in both macro).

The code modified is only executed when Xen is in bad state.
