Ananth,

Could you talk with the ppc linux guru about using the branch trap that is provided in ppc's MSR? See how well/poorly the branch traps are supported?

Will,

I can now confirm that MSR[BE] is the way to go for ppc. However, with
MSR[BE], we trap on every branch irrespective of whether the branch was
taken or not. And there may be a few corner cases we'll have to take
care of. Will investigate further.

Thanks,
Ananth
