4.7-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Marcin Nowakowski <marcin.nowakowski@xxxxxxxxxx> commit ddabfa5c2e33f1b495f3e0176de7057850915c0b upstream. Generic kernel code implements a weak version of set_orig_insn that moves cached 'insn' from arch_uprobe to the original code location when the trap is removed. MIPS variant used arch_uprobe->orig_inst which was never initialised properly, so this code only inserted a nop instead of the original instruction. With that change orig_inst can also be safely removed. Signed-off-by: Marcin Nowakowski <marcin.nowakowski@xxxxxxxxxx> Fixes: 40e084a506eb ('MIPS: Add uprobes support.')
