From d7161a65341556bacb5e6654e133803f46f51063 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jason Wessel Date: Fri, 26 Sep 2008 10:36:41 -0500 Subject: kgdb, x86, arm, mips, powerpc: ignore user space single stepping On the x86 arch, user space single step exceptions should be ignored if they occur in the kernel space, such as ptrace stepping through a system call. First check if it is kgdb that is executing a single step, then ensure it is not an accidental traversal into the user space, while in kgdb, any other time the TIF_SINGLESTEP is set, kgdb should ignore the exception. On x86, arm, mips and powerpc, the kgdb_contthread usage was inconsistent with the way single stepping is implemented in the kgdb core. The arch specific stub should always set the kgdb_cpu_doing_single_step correctly if it is single stepping. This allows kgdb to correctly process an instruction steps if ptrace happens to be requesting an instruction step over a system call.
