Subject: [Patch 3/5] PPC64-HWBKPT: Handle concurrent alignment interrupts
Date: Tue, 15 Jun 2010 11:35:31 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100615060531.GD4790@in.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20100615055010.108795721@linux.vnet.ibm.com
An alignment interrupt may intervene between a DSI/hw-breakpoint exception
and the single-step exception. Enable the alignment interrupt (through
modifications to emulate_single_step()) to notify the single-step exception
handler for proper restoration of hw-breakpoints.
[The need to invoke single-step handler after alignment interrupt pointed out
by Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>]
