ARM: 8977/1: ptrace: Fix mask for thumb breakpoint hook
call_undef_hook() in traps.c applies the same instr_mask for both 16-bit and 32-bit thumb instructions. If instr_mask then is only 16 bits wide (0xffff as opposed to 0xffffffff), the first half-word of 32-bit thumb instructions will be masked out. This makes the function match 32-bit thumb instructions where the second half-word is equal to instr_val, regardless of the first half-word. The result in this case is that all undefined 32-bit thumb instructions with the second half-word equal to 0xde01 (udf #1) work as breakpoints and will raise a SIGTRAP instead of a SIGILL, instead of just the one intended 16-bit instruction. An example of such an instruction is 0xeaa0de01, which is unallocated according to Arm ARM and should raise a SIGILL, but instead raises a SIGTRAP. This patch fixes the issue by setting all the bits in instr_mask, which will still match the intended 16-bit thumb instruction (where the upper half is always 0), but not any 32-bit thumb instructions.
