[PATCH 2/7] uprobes: x86: Implement x86 specific arch_uprobe_*_step

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Mon Sep 03 2012 - 11:25:00 EST


From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The arch specific implementation behaves like user_enable_single_step()
except that it does not disable single stepping if it was already
enabled by ptrace. This allows the debugger to single step over an
uprobe. The state of block stepping is not restored. It makes only sense
together with TF and if that was enabled then the debugger is notified.

Note: this is still not correct. For example, TIF_SINGLESTEP check
is not right, the application itsel can set X86_EFLAGS_TF. And otoh
we leak TIF_SINGLESTEP (set by enable) if the probed insn is "popf".
See the next patches, we need the changes in arch/x86/kernel/step.c
first.
