    x86_64: Allow breakpoints to emulate call instructions · 4b33dadf
    Peter Zijlstra authored
    In order to allow breakpoints to emulate call instructions, they need to push
    the return address onto the stack. The x86_64 int3 handler adds a small gap
    to allow the stack to grow some. Use this gap to add the return address to
    be able to emulate a call instruction at the breakpoint location.
    
    These helper functions are added:
    
      int3_emulate_jmp(): changes the location of the regs->ip to return there.
    
     (The next two are only for x86_64)
      int3_emulate_push(): to push the address onto the gap in the stack
      int3_emulate_call(): push the return address and change regs->ip
