Subject: [RFC Patch 0/9] Hardware Breakpoint interfaces - v2
Date: Fri, 5 Dec 2008 00:38:05 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081204190804.GA15134@in.ibm.com> (raw)
Hi All,
Please find the latest set of patches that introduce kernel
interfaces to use Hardware Breakpoint registers and an implementation
for x86 (and x86_64) architecture.
The patches have undergone changes to incorporate the suggestions for
the previous patchset - including removal of support for instruction
breakpoint, and are based off 2.6.28-rc7. The patches have been tested
on x86 architecture along with kprobes, however they're posted as RFC
owing to the many pending tasks (refer
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/10/7/127 for details).
Thanks,
K.Prasad
