From 6718d0d6da2749d3bff522e6057e97e6aa85e4d1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roland McGrath Date: Wed, 9 Jul 2008 01:07:02 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86 ptrace: block-step fix The enable_single_step() logic bails out early if TF is already set. That skips some of the bookkeeping that keeps things straight. This makes PTRACE_SINGLEBLOCK break the behavior of a user task that was already setting TF itself in user mode. Fix the bookkeeping to notice the old TF setting as it should.
