Subject: [Patch 7/10] Modify signal handling code to refrain from re-enabling HW Breakpoints
Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2009 14:00:15 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090129083015.GD7750@in.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090129074845.GA5078@in.ibm.com>
This patch disables re-enabling of Hardware Breakpoint registers through
the signal handling code. This is now done during
hw_breakpoint_handler().
