From: K.Prasad Date: Thu, 28 Jan 2010 11:14:01 +0000 (+0530) Subject: x86/debug: Clear reserved bits of DR6 in do_debug() X-Git-Tag: v2.6.34-rc1~197^2~94 X-Git-Url: https://openfabrics.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=40f9249a73f6c251adea492b1c3d19d39e2a9bda;p=~shefty%2Frdma-dev.git x86/debug: Clear reserved bits of DR6 in do_debug() Clear the reserved bits from the stored copy of debug status register (DR6). This will help easy bitwise operations such as quick testing of a debug event origin.
