From 44bd887ce10eb8061f6a137f8a73f823957edd82 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Deacon Date: Tue, 19 Jul 2016 15:07:39 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] arm64: kprobes: WARN if attempting to step with PSTATE.D=1 Stepping with PSTATE.D=1 is bad news. The step won't generate a debug exception and we'll likely walk off into random data structures. This should never happen, but when it does, it's a PITA to debug. Add a WARN_ON to shout if we realise this is about to take place.
