X-Git-Tag: v2.6.37-rc4~19^2~2
X-Git-Url: https://asedeno.scripts.mit.edu/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=de31ec8a31046111befd16a7083e3bdda2ff42cf;p=linux.git

x86/kprobes: Prevent kprobes to probe on save_args()

Prevent kprobes to probe on save_args() since this function
will be called from breakpoint exception handler. That will
cause infinit loop on breakpoint handling.
