Subject: [PATCH 09/12] hw-breakpoints: cleanup HW Breakpoint registers before kexec
Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2009 00:43:33 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1243982616-18212-10-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1243982616-18212-1-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com>
From: K.Prasad <prasad@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
This patch disables Hardware breakpoints before doing a 'kexec' on the machine
so that the cpu doesn't keep debug registers values which would be out of
sync for the new image.
