[PATCH 2/4] x86: kprobe cleanup resume_execution

From: Harvey Harrison
Date: Mon Dec 17 2007 - 16:28:22 EST


This patch cleans up and fixes bugs in resume_execution on x86-64.
Kprobes for x86-64 may cause a kernel crash if it inserted on "iret"
instruction.

"call absolute" case 0x9a is invalid on x86-64, so we don't need
treat it, leave it ifdef X86_32.

- Add "iret"(0xcf) case.to X86_64
- Fold jmp absolute (0xea) handling into iret/ret/lret handling

Based on patch from Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx>
