This patch makes available the unmodified BookE branch taken debug exception through PTRACE_SINGLEBLOCK if the ptrace() addr parameter is set to 2.
This is hacky -- if we must retain the existing PTRACE_SINGLEBLOCK semantics (which aren't actually documented anywhere AFAICT -- if the details are meant to be implementation-defined, then don't we have some freedom here to actually do what the hardware does, especially if we can't find existing users?), then perhaps a new PTRACE_WHATEVER should be defined.
At the very least, magic numbers should be given symbolic names. -Scott _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
