Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/watchpoint: Disable pagefaults when getting user
instruction
This is called in an atomic context, so is not allowed to sleep if a
user page needs to be faulted in and has nowhere it can be deferred to.
The pagefault_disabled() function is documented as preventing user
access methods from sleeping.
In practice the page will be mapped in nearly always because we are
reading the instruction that just triggered the watchpoint trap.
