From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2016 03:00:28 +0000 (-0800) Subject: x86/entry/traps: Clear TIF_BLOCKSTEP on all debug exceptions X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=81edd9f69a6fd214fdbe66b43de6aa1610c84c63;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git x86/entry/traps: Clear TIF_BLOCKSTEP on all debug exceptions The SDM says that debug exceptions clear BTF, and we need to keep TIF_BLOCKSTEP in sync with BTF. Clear it unconditionally and improve the comment. I suspect that the fact that kmemcheck could cause TIF_BLOCKSTEP not to be cleared was just an oversight.
