Subject: [PATCH] kprobe cleanup for VM_MASK judgement
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.17-rc4~126
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bf661987da6f5131475dfe3f51a98de4e2589ed3;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

[PATCH] kprobe cleanup for VM_MASK judgement

When trap happens in user space, kprobe_exceptions_notify() funtion will
skip it.  This patch deletes some unnecessary code for VM_MASK judgement in
eflags.
