+static void execmem_invalidate(void *ptr, size_t size, bool writeable)
+{
+       /* fill memory with INT3 instructions */
+       if (writeable)
+               memset(ptr, 0xcc, size);
+       else
+               text_poke_set(ptr, 0xcc, size);
+}

Thing is, 0xcc (aka INT3_INSN_OPCODE) is not an invalid instruction.
It raises #BP not #UD.
