[PATCH] Check CPL for break 0x80001 case. Re: [Xen-ia64-devel] [Q]ltrace and do_ssc

[Atsushi SAKAI <sakaia@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, All

 This is a patch which intends for fixing ltrace problem.
When I execute a command "ltrace ps" on dom0, it makes dom0 hung.
It comes from "break 0x80001" is shared by ltrace(CPL=3) and hpsim(CPL=2).
To avoid this problem, I just add check CPL in ia64_break_fault code.
