Subject: [Patch 4/10] Introduce virtual debug register in thread_struct and wrapper-routines around process related functions
Date: Sun, 15 Feb 2009 16:03:44 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090215103344.GE6855@in.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090215103008.GA6855@in.ibm.com>
Introduce virtual debug register in thread_struct and wrapper-routines around
process related functions
From: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu>
This patch introduces virtual debug registers to used by the per-thread
structure ad wrapper routines to manage debug registers by process-related
functions.
[K.Prasad: Split-out from the bigger patch and minor changes following
re-basing]
