Re: [RFC Patch 6/9] Use virtual debug registers in process/threadhandling code

[Roland McGrath]

+/*
+	 * 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.


Thanks,
Roland
