Subject: [PATCH 1/4] MIPS Kprobes: Fix OOPS in arch_prepare_kprobe()


From: Maneesh Soni <manesoni@...co.com>

Fix OOPS in arch_prepare_kprobe() for MIPS

This patch fixes the arch_prepare_kprobe() on MIPS when it tries to find the
instruction at the previous address to the probed address. The oops happens
when the probed address is the first address in a kernel module and there is
no previous address. The patch uses probe_kernel_read() to safely read the
previous instruction.
