[PATCH v2 2/4] powerpc: Move the single step enable code to a generic path

Suzuki K. Poulose suzuki at in.ibm.com
Tue Dec 4 02:08:37 EST 2012


From: Suzuki K. Poulose <suzuki at in.ibm.com>

This patch moves the single step enable code used by kprobe to a generic
routine header so that, it can be re-used by other code, in this case,
uprobes. No functional changes.
