x86/mm: Save debug registers when loading a temporary mm
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Prevent user watchpoints from mistakenly firing while the temporary mm
is being used. As the addresses of the temporary mm might overlap those
of the user-process, this is necessary to prevent wrong signals or worse
things from happening.
