[Patch 4/4] PPC64-HWBKPT: Enable hw-breakpoints while handling intervening signals

Tue May 25 19:15:05 EST 2010
A signal delivered between a hw_breakpoint_handler() and the
single_step_dabr_instruction() will not have the breakpoint active during
signal handling (since breakpoint will not be restored through single-stepping
due to absence of MSR_SE bit on the signal frame). Enable breakpoints before
signal delivery.
Restore hw-breakpoints if the user-context is altered in the signal handler.
