From 3aa4b37d3e899cfe7a9cbdcda2b277df4c1f210d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roland McGrath Date: Wed, 6 Feb 2008 22:39:43 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] x86: make traps on entry code be debuggable in user space, 64-bit Unify the x86-64 behavior for 32-bit processes that set bogus %cs/%ss values (the only ones that can fault in iret) match what the native i386 behavior is.
