[PATCH] i386/x86-64: rename is_at_popf(), add iret to tests and fix
is_at_popf() needs to test for the iret instruction as well as popf. So add that test and rename it to is_setting_trap_flag(). Also change max insn length from 16 to 15 to match reality. LAHF / SAHF can't affect TF, so the comment in x86_64 is removed. Signed-off-by: Chuck Ebbert <76306.1226@compuserve.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
