From: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Call arch_switch also in switch_to_skas, even if it's, for now, a no-op for that
case (and mark this in the comment); this will change soon.
Also, arch_switch for TT mode is actually useless when the PT proxy (a
complicate debugging instrumentation for TT mode) is not enabled. In fact, it
only calls update_debugregs, which checks debugregs_seq against seq (to check
if the registers are up-to-date - seq here means a "version number" of the
registers).
If the ptrace proxy is not enabled, debugregs_seq always stays 0 and
update_debugregs will be a no-op. So, optimize this out (the compiler can't
do it).
Also, I've been disappointed by the fact that it would make a lot of sense
if, after calling a successful
update_debugregs(current->thread.arch.debugregs_seq),
current->thread.arch.debugregs_seq were updated with the new debugregs_seq.
But this is not done. Is this a bug or a feature? For all purposes, it seems
a bug (otherwise the whole mechanism does not make sense, which is also a
possibility to check), which causes some performance only problems (not
correctness), since we write_debugregs when not needed.
Also, as suggested by Jeff, remove a redundant enabling of SIGVTALRM,
comprised in the subsequent local_irq_enable(). I'm just a bit dubious if
ordering matters there...
