[PATCH] sh/kprobes: respect gdb breakpoints

From: Jim Keniston
Date: Fri Aug 07 2015 - 12:04:47 EST


On the sh architecture, kprobes and gdb/gdbserver use different
breakpoint opcodes. Without this fix, kprobes doesn't recognize
the gdb traps, and the resulting NOTIFY_STOP prevents ptrace and gdb
from being notified. The result is that if kprobes is configured,
a gdb-traced process hangs when its gdb breakpoint is hit.
