Current instruction decoder for uprobe/kprobe handler only handles branches with delay slots. For compact branches the behaviour is rather unpredictable - and depending on the encoding of a compact branch instruction may result in one (or more) of: - executing an instruction that follows a branch which wasn't in a delay slot and shouldn't have been executed - incorrectly emulating a branch leading to a jump to a wrong location - unexpected branching out of the single-stepped code and never reaching the breakpoint that should terminate the probe handler Results of these actions are generally unpredictable, but can end up with a probed application or kernel crash, so disable placing probes on compact branches until they are handled properly.
