Subject: [PATCH 3/4] sparc64: kprobes: Resume after a delay slot at the saved next PC
Date: Fri,  9 Oct 2026 20:03:34 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261009180336.1315684-4-stian@itx.no> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261009180336.1315684-1-stian@itx.no>

After single-stepping an instruction that does not branch, execution
resumes at the saved next PC, followed by the probed address plus 8.
For an instruction in the delay slot of a taken branch the saved next
PC is the branch target, so after the target execution goes back to
the probed address plus 8 instead of continuing at the target plus 4.

Use the saved next PC plus 4, which equals the probed address plus 8
for any other instruction.
