ARM kprobes: special hook for the kprobes breakpoint handler
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The kprobes code is already able to cope with reentrant probes, so its
handler must be called outside of the region protected by undef_lock.

If ever this lock is released when handlers are called then this commit
could be reverted.
