[PATCH v3] powerpc: Add support for function error injection

Naveen N. Rao naveen.n.rao at linux.vnet.ibm.com
Thu Jun 7 19:52:02 AEST 2018


We implement regs_set_return_value() and override_function_with_return()
for this purpose.

On powerpc, a return from a function (blr) just branches to the location
contained in the link register. So, we can just update pt_regs rather
than redirecting execution to a dummy function that returns.

The only change is to add a comment in override_function_with_return() 
to clarify that we don't need to worry about 32-bit userspace while 
emulating 'blr'.
