[PATCH] Kprobes IA64: cmp ctype unc support
The current Kprobes when patching the original instruction with the break instruction tries to retain the original qualifying predicate(qp), however for cmp.crel.ctype where ctype == unc, which is a special instruction always needs to be executed irrespective of qp. Hence, if the instruction we are patching is of this type, then we should not copy the original qp to the break instruction, this is because we always want the break fault to happen so that we can emulate the instruction. This patch is based on the feedback given by David Mosberger Signed-off-by: Anil S Keshavamurthy <anil.s.keshavamurthy@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
