[PATCH 18/39] NLKD/x86-64 - INT1/INT3 handling changes
From: Jan Beulich
Date: Wed Nov 09 2005 - 09:12:02 EST
This
- switches the INT3 handler to run on an IST stack (to cope with
breakpoints set by a kernel debugger on places where the kernel's
%gs base hasn't been set up, yet); the IST stack used is shared with
the INT1 handler's
- allows nesting of INT1/INT3 handlers so that one can, with a kernel
debugger, debug (at least) the user-mode portions of the INT1/INT3
handling; the nesting isn't actively enabled here since a kernel-
debugger-free kernel doesn't need it
