Absolutely no function in kernel-space causes an automatic switch to
secondary mode. As Philippe answered to the very first mail you posted
to this list, the only events which cause a switch to secondary mode are:
- invoking a regular linux syscall
- receiving a linux signal (e.g. kill(2) and GDB)
- causing a CPU trap (e.g. invalid memory access), hitting a breakpoint
(e.g. GDB)
All these events only happen for threads in user-space.
