This mostly works, but I see one extra case in some configurations:


arch/arm/probes/kprobes/test-arm.c:453:2: error: invalid instruction,
did you mean: swpb?
        TEST_R( "swpvsb r0, r",1,VAL1,", [sp]")
        ^
arch/arm/probes/kprobes/test-core.h:235:2: note: expanded from macro 'TEST_R'
        TEST_INSTRUCTION(code1 #reg code2)              \
        ^
arch/arm/probes/kprobes/test-core.h:155:17: note: expanded from macro
'TEST_INSTRUCTION'
        "50:    nop                                     \n\t"   \
                                                          ^
<inline asm>:20:5: note: instantiated into assembly here
        1:      swpvsb  r0, r1, [sp]
                ^~~~~~

Plus a lot of extra errors when building with CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL,
as that uses tests in arch/arm/probes/kprobes/test-thumb.c.
