When using SIG_DBG_BRANCH_TRACING, MSR.BE is left enabled in the
user context when single_step_exception() prepares the SIGTRAP
delivery. The resulting branch-trap-within-the-SIGTRAP-handler
isn't healthy.
Commit 2538c2d08f broke this, by
replacing an MSR mask operation of ~(MSR_SE | MSR_BE) with a call
to clear_single_step() which only clears MSR_SE.
This patch adds a new helper, clear_br_trace(), which clears the
debug trap before invoking the signal handler. This helper is a
NOP for BookE as SIG_DBG_BRANCH_TRACING isn't supported on BookE.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
