Subject: [Patch 4/5] PPC64-HWBKPT: Enable hw-breakpoints while handling intervening signals
Date: Wed, 9 Jun 2010 15:55:48 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100609102548.GE20332@in.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20100609101417.644628763@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.
