Andi Kleen daeeafecf0 [PATCH] x86_64: Keep only a single debug notifier chain
Calling a notifier three times in the debug handler does not make much sense,
because a debugger can figure out the various conditions by itself.  Remove
the additional calls to DIE_DEBUG and DIE_DEBUGSTEP completely.

This matches what i386 does now.

This also makes sure interrupts are always still disabled when calling a
debugger, which prevents:

BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000001] code: tpopf/1470
caller is post_kprobe_handler+0x9/0x70

Call Trace:<ffffffff8024f10f>{smp_processor_id+191} <ffffffff80120e69>{post_kpro
be_handler+9} 
<ffffffff80120f7a>{kprobe_exceptions_notify+58} 
<ffffffff80144fc0>{notifier_call_chain+32} <ffffffff80110daf>{do_debug+335} 
<ffffffff8010f513>{debug+127}  <EOE> 

on preemptible debug kernels with kprobes when single stepping in user space.

This was probably a bug even on non preempt kernels, this function was
supposed to be running with interrupts off according to a comment there.

Note to third part debugger maintainers: please double check your debugger can
still single step.
