Subject: [v3 PATCH 3/3] ppc32/kprobe: don't emulate store when kprobe stwu r1

From: Tiejun Chen <[email-masked]>
Date: Sun, 3 Jun 2012 13:07:42 +0800

We don't do the real store operation for kprobing 'stwu Rx,(y)R1'
since this may corrupt the exception frame, now we will do this
operation safely in exception return code after migrate current
exception frame below the kprobed function stack.

So we only update gpr[1] here and trigger a thread flag to mask
this.

Note we should make sure if we trigger kernel stack over flow.
