Subject: [PATCH] ppc64 kprobes: don't eat dabr/iabr exceptions
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.12~70
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=358c6ac0dd4ffa5e44d59d4008a2627aa2f02b6f;p=linux-2.6

[PATCH] ppc64 kprobes: don't eat dabr/iabr exceptions

Kprobes was eating the hardware instruction and data address
breakpoint exceptions.  This patch fixes it; kprobes doesn't use those
exceptions at all and should ignore them.
