[PATCH v2 3/3] arm: Add support for function error injection

Leo Yan leo.yan at linaro.org
Tue Aug 6 20:00:15 AEST 2019


This patch implements arm specific functions regs_set_return_value() and
override_function_with_return() to support function error injection.

In the exception flow, it updates pt_regs::ARM_pc with pt_regs::ARM_lr
so can override the probed function return.
