Subject: [PATCH 3/3] x86: WARN_ON breakpoints from .kprobes.text section
Date: Sun, 27 Jan 2008 14:39:35 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <479C4A4F.10604@gmail.com> (raw)

Identify breakpoints in .kprobes.text section. These certainly aren't kprobe traps. However, we make an exception for the breakpoint hardcoded into jprobe_return.
