[PATCH 5/9] kgdb,i386: Fix corner case access to ss with NMI watch dog exception
From: Jason Wessel
Date: Fri Dec 11 2009 - 10:38:44 EST
It is possible for the user_mode_vm(regs) check to return true on the
i368 arch for a non master kgdb cpu or when the master kgdb cpu
handles the NMI watch dog exception.
The solution is simply to select the correct gdb_ss location
based on the check to user_mode_vm(regs).
