Subject[RFC Patch 4/9] Modify kprobe exception handler to recognise single-stepping by HW Breakpoint handler
This patch modifies the kprobe handler to help it recognise single-stepping by
the HW Breakpoint exception code. A per-cpu variable called 'sstep_reason' to
distinguish the source of single-step exceptions.
