[PATCH 26/27] x86: debugctlmsr kprobes

From: Roland McGrath
Date: Sun Nov 25 2007 - 17:09:25 EST



This adjusts the x86 kprobes implementation to cope with per-thread
MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR being set for user mode. I haven't delved deep
enough into the kprobes code to be really sure this covers all the
cases where the user-mode BTF setting needs to be cleared or restored.
It looks about right to me.
