[v3][PATCH 1/3] powerpc/kprobe: introduce a new thread flag

From: Tiejun Chen <hidden>
Date: 2012-09-11 02:21:12
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

We need to add a new thread flag, TIF_EMULATE_STACK_STORE,
for emulating stack store operation while exiting exception.

Signed-off-by: Tiejun Chen <redacted>

v3:
* rebase on next
* restore those clobbered registers
* add for 64-bit
* retest with kprobe do_fork()/show_interrupts()
	for fsl-p4080 and fsl-p5020, separately
