    MIPS: traps: Correct the SIGTRAP debug ABI in `do_watch' and `do_trap_or_bp' · 3b143cca
    Maciej W. Rozycki authored
    Follow our own rules set in <asm/siginfo.h> for SIGTRAP signals issued
    from `do_watch' and `do_trap_or_bp' by setting the signal code to
    TRAP_HWBKPT and TRAP_BRKPT respectively, for Watch exceptions and for
    those Breakpoint exceptions whose originating BREAK instruction's code
    does not have a special meaning.  Keep Trap exceptions unaffected as
    these are not debug events.
    
    No existing user software is expected to examine signal codes for these
    signals as SI_KERNEL has been always used here.  This change makes the
    MIPS port more like other Linux ports, which reduces the complexity and
    provides for performance improvement in GDB.
