Subject: x86: prevent unconditional writes to DebugCtl MSR
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.26-rc1~1154^2~418
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5b0e508415a83989fe704b4718a1a214bc333ca7;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

x86: prevent unconditional writes to DebugCtl MSR

Otherwise, enabling (or better, subsequent disabling) of single
stepping would cause a kernel oops on CPUs not having this MSR.

The patch could have been added a conditional to the MSR write in
user_disable_single_step(), but centralizing the updates seems safer
and (looking forward) better manageable.
