Will Deacon pointed out, that the currently used opcode for filling holes,
that is 0xe7ffffff, seems not robust enough ...

  $ echo 0xffffffe7 | xxd -r > test.bin
  $ arm-linux-gnueabihf-objdump -m arm -D -b binary test.bin
  ...
  0: e7ffffff     udf    #65535  ; 0xffff

... while for Thumb, it ends up as ...

  0: ffff e7ff    vqshl.u64  q15, <illegal reg q15.5>, #63

... which is a bit fragile. The ARM specification defines some *permanently*
guaranteed undefined instruction (UDF) space, for example for ARM in ARMv7-AR,
section A5.4 and for Thumb in ARMv7-M, section A5.2.6.

Similarly, ptrace, kprobes, kgdb, bug and uprobes make use of such instruction
as well to trap. Given mentioned section from the specification, we can find
such a universe as (where 'x' denotes 'don't care'):

  ARM:    xxxx 0111 1111 xxxx xxxx xxxx 1111 xxxx
  Thumb:  1101 1110 xxxx xxxx

We therefore can use a more robust and so far unallocated pair of opcodes
for ARM: 0xe7f002f0 and Thumb: 0xde03. Moreover, when filling we should also
use proper macros __opcode_to_mem_arm() and __opcode_to_mem_thumb16().

New dump:

  $ echo 0xf002f0e7 | xxd -r > test.bin
  $ arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-objdump -m arm -D -b binary test.bin
  ...
  0: e7f002f0     udf    #32
  $ echo 0x03de | xxd -r > test.bin
  $ arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-objdump -marm -Mforce-thumb -D -b binary test.bin
  ...
  0: de03         udf    #3

If you're after a single 32-bit word which will fault if executed in
ARM or Thumb mode, and you only want it to raise an undefined
instruction exception (iow, you're not using it as a breakpoint or
similar), then may I suggest the poison value I chose for the vectors
page, designed to trap userspace branches to locations in there?

0xe7fddef1

You'll notice that the value conforms to the ARM undefined instruction
space.  You'll also notice that the low 16 bits correspond to the
Thumb case.  The only question is, what is 0xe7fd as a Thumb instruction...

00000000 <a>:
   0:   def1                            ; <UNDEFINED> instruction: 0xdef1
   2:   e7fd            b.n     0 <a>

So, if either 0 or 2 gets branched to, we end up at the Thumb UDF
instruction.  (Sorry, my binutils doesn't know about UDF.)

Yes, that should keep the code even simpler! Will try that out tomorrow
and respin the patch.

Thanks Russell!
