Subject: [PATCH 9/9] kgdb: Always process the whole breakpoint list on activate or deactivate
Date: Fri, 11 Dec 2009 09:36:17 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1260545777-8089-10-git-send-email-jason.wessel@windriver.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1260545777-8089-9-git-send-email-jason.wessel@windriver.com>
This patch fixes 2 edge cases in using kgdb in conjunction with gdb.
1) kgdb_deactivate_sw_breakpoints() should process the entire array of
breakpoints. The failure to do so results in breakpoints that you
cannot remove, because a break point can only be removed if its
state flag is set to BP_SET.
The easy way to duplicate this problem is to plant a break point in
a kernel module and then unload the kernel module.
2) kgdb_activate_sw_breakpoints() should process the entire array of
breakpoints. The failure to do so results in missed breakpoints
when a breakpoint cannot be activated.
