This broke randconfig builds with big-endian ARMv5:

../arch/arm/kernel/patch.c: In function '__patch_text_real':
../arch/arm/kernel/patch.c:94:11: error: implicit declaration of
function '__opcode_to_mem_thumb32'
[-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
    insn = __opcode_to_mem_thumb32(insn);
           ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The problem is that we don't have a BE32 definition of
__opcode_to_mem_thumb32, mostly because no hardware
supports that.

One possible workaround is a big ugly:

diff --git a/arch/arm/kernel/patch.c b/arch/arm/kernel/patch.c
index d0a05a3bdb96..1067fd122897 100644
--- a/arch/arm/kernel/patch.c
+++ b/arch/arm/kernel/patch.c
@@ -90,9 +90,11 @@ void __kprobes __patch_text_real(void *addr,
unsigned int insn, bool remap)

                size = sizeof(u32);
        } else {
+#ifdef CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL
                if (thumb2)
                        insn = __opcode_to_mem_thumb32(insn);
                else
+#endif
                        insn = __opcode_to_mem_arm(insn);

                *(u32 *)waddr = insn;


Any other suggestions?
