[PATCH 8/X] uprobes: kill sstep_complete()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Kill sstep_complete(), change uprobe_notify_resume() to use post_xol()
unconditionally.

As we already discussed, it is wrong to assume that regs->ip always
changes after the step. rep or jmp/call to self for example. We know
that this task has already done the step, we can rely on DIE_DEBUG
notification.
