Subject: [PATCH 1/2] powerpc/kprobes: Some minor fixes
Date: Thu, 26 Jun 2008 02:04:16 -0500 (CDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0806260204030.13731@blarg.am.freescale.net> (raw)

* Mark __flush_icache_range as a function that can't be probed since its
  used by the kprobe code.

* Fix an issue with single stepping and async exceptions.  We need to
  ensure that we dont get an async exception (external, decrementer, etc)
  while we are attempting to single step the probe point.

  Added a check to ensure we only handle a single step if its really
  intended for the instruction in question.
