Subject: [BUGFIX PATCH -tip 0/2] x86/kprobes: Fix bugs in resume execution code

Hi,

Here are 2 bugfixes I have found in set_resume_flags().

The [1/2] fixes a bug which I have introduced by commit
abd82e533d88 ("x86/kprobes: Do not decode opcode in
resume_execution()"), and [2/2] has been there in the origin
of the x86 kprobes (before 2.6.12). Anyway, [2/2] is something
like a cosmetic patch, because the original code was mis-
understanding the opcode encoding, but the result is same.

Thank you,

---
