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 Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Cc: Nicolai Stange <nstange@suse.de> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: "H.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
