The core kprobes code uses kprobe_opcode_t for the in-memory representation of an instruction, using 'kprobe_opcode_t *' for XOL slots. As arm64 instructions are always little-endian 32-bit values, kprobes_opcode_t should be __le32, but at the moment kprobe_opcode_t is typedef'd to u32. Today there is no functional issue as we convert values via cpu_to_le32() and le32_to_cpu() where necessary, but these conversions are inconsistent with the types used, causing sparse warnings: | CHECK arch/arm64/kernel/probes/kprobes.c | arch/arm64/kernel/probes/kprobes.c:102:21: warning: cast to restricted __le32 | CHECK arch/arm64/kernel/probes/decode-insn.c | arch/arm64/kernel/probes/decode-insn.c:122:46: warning: cast to restricted __le32 | arch/arm64/kernel/probes/decode-insn.c:124:50: warning: cast to restricted __le32 | arch/arm64/kernel/probes/decode-insn.c:136:31: warning: cast to restricted __le32 Improve this by making kprobes_opcode_t a typedef for __le32 and consistently using this for pointers to executable instructions. With this change we can rely on the type system to tell us where conversions are necessary. Since kprobe::opcode is changed from u32 to __le32, the existing le32_to_cpu() converion moves from the point this is initialized (in arch_prepare_kprobe()) to the points this is consumed when passed to a handler or text patching function. As kprobe::opcode isn't altered or consumed elsewhere, this shouldn't result in a functional change.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
