[PATCH] Kprobes/IA64: check jprobe break before handling
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Once the jprobe instrumented function returns, it executes a jprobe_break
which is a break instruction with __IA64_JPROBE_BREAK value.  The current
patch checks for this break value, before assuming that jprobe instrumented
function just completed.

The previous code was not checking for this value and that was a bug.
