[PATCH] ppc64 kprobes: don't eat dabr/iabr exceptions

From: Paul Mackerras
Date: Wed Jun 08 2005 - 00:34:34 EST


From: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli <amavin@xxxxxxxxxx>

Kprobes was eating the hardware instruction and data address
breakpoint exceptions. This patch fixes it; kprobes doesn't use those
exceptions at all and should ignore them.
