Subject: allow kprobes to run on top of preempt emulation
Date: Thu, 5 Jun 2008 01:09:33 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080604230933.GU21613@duo.random> (raw)
This patch makes preempt emulation more strict in differentiating its
own dr0 hardware breakpoint from a singlestep in return from kprobes
pre-handler that will invoke the post-handler through int1 debug TS on
eflags. This avoids GPF when kprobes returns from pre-handler with the
dr7 loaded with preempt emulation.
