[PATCH] x86_64: Keep only a single debug notifier chain
Calling a notifier three times in the debug handler does not make much sense, because a debugger can figure out the various conditions by itself. Remove the additional calls to DIE_DEBUG and DIE_DEBUGSTEP completely. This matches what i386 does now. This also makes sure interrupts are always still disabled when calling a debugger, which prevents: BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000001] code: tpopf/1470 caller is post_kprobe_handler+0x9/0x70 Call Trace:<ffffffff8024f10f>{smp_processor_id+191} <ffffffff80120e69>{post_kpro be_handler+9} <ffffffff80120f7a>{kprobe_exceptions_notify+58} <ffffffff80144fc0>{notifier_call_chain+32} <ffffffff80110daf>{do_debug+335} <ffffffff8010f513>{debug+127} <EOE> on preemptible debug kernels with kprobes when single stepping in user space. This was probably a bug even on non preempt kernels, this function was supposed to be running with interrupts off according to a comment there. Note to third part debugger maintainers: please double check your debugger can still single step.
