Commit-ID: 81edd9f69a6fd214fdbe66b43de6aa1610c84c63 Gitweb: http://git.kernel.org/tip/81edd9f69a6fd214fdbe66b43de6aa1610c84c63 Author: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxx> AuthorDate: Wed, 9 Mar 2016 19:00:28 -0800 Committer: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxxxxx> CommitDate: Thu, 10 Mar 2016 09:48:13 +0100 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.
