<div style="word-wrap:break-word">Hi JF,<div><br></div><div>Assuming there's real security benefits to be had, yes. However, I'm reticent to add complexity to the code on a purely theoretical benefit. Can you elaborate a bit more on why this is worth it?<div>
<br></div><div>In particular, I'm skeptical of benefits to an overlapping ARM/Thumb TRAP instruction. Now, I can definitely see benefit if you could find a way to get ARM ISel to more frequently have Thumb2 undefined bitpatterns in the bitstream (as the low-order bits of normal ARM instructions, that is). That would be quite clever and downright sneaky. Also likely pretty hard to do it w/o completely crushing performance…</div>
