Subject: [Patch 4/5] PPC64-HWBKPT: Enable hw-breakpoints while handling intervening signals
Date: Tue, 15 Jun 2010 11:35:41 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100615060540.GE4790@in.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20100615055010.108795721@linux.vnet.ibm.com

A signal delivered between a hw_breakpoint_handler() and the
single_step_dabr_instruction() will not have the breakpoint active during
signal handling (since breakpoint will not be restored through single-stepping
due to absence of MSR_SE bit on the signal frame). Enable breakpoints before
signal delivery.

Restore hw-breakpoints if the user-context is altered in the signal handler.

[With inputs from Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> which helped identify a
need to restore breakpoints before handling a signal delivered in certain
cases]
