Subject: [Patch 06/11] Use virtual debug registers in process/thread handling code
Date: Sat, 7 Mar 2009 10:36:47 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090307050647.GG23959@in.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20090307045120.039324630@linux.vnet.ibm.com
[-- Attachment #1: 6.new --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 5101 bytes --]
From: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu>
This patch enables the use of abstract/virtual debug registers in
process-handling routines.
[K.Prasad: Split-out from the bigger patch and minor changes following
re-basing]
