Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2008 18:44:07 -0700 (PDT) From: Roland McGrath <roland@...hat.com> To: prasad@...ux.vnet.ibm.com Cc: Linux Kernel Mailing List <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org>, Alan Stern <stern@...land.harvard.edu>, akpm@...ux-foundation.org, mingo@...e.hu, jason.wessel@...driver.com, avi@...ranet.com, richardj_moore@...ibm.com Subject: Re: [RFC Patch 6/9] Use virtual debug registers in process/thread handling code +/* + * Handle debug registers. This must be done _after_ current + * is updated. + */ + if (unlikely(test_tsk_thread_flag(next_p, TIF_DEBUG))) + switch_to_thread_hw_breakpoint(next_p); It would be good if we could arrange that this works before current changes. That way it says in __switch_to_xtra, which is off the hot path. If you are moving it, then you need to match that by removing _TIF_DEBUG from _TIF_WORK_CTXSW_NEXT.
