[patch 0/3] HWBKPT v4: Hardware breakpoint implementation for s390

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Heiko,

Please find the set of patches that introduces s390 specific implementation
for perf-events based hardware breakpoint interfaces for review.

I did not introduce kernel per tracing check under kernel exit path
'RESTORE_ALL' as you said it is not so easy (and it was too complex for me to
understand).

Change in v4:
- Introduced a kernel per tracing flag in lowcore structure for each cpu
  instead of global.
- Handled a race condition with interrupts/preemption while looking for
  PER event in hw_breakpoint_handler() routine.

Change in v3:
- Merged first two patches of v1 patchset.
- Introduced second patch that implements kernel part PER tracing.

The patch set has been tested with ksym_tracer and watchpoints over GDB+ptrace
and works fine.

Thanks,
-Mahesh.
