Subject: Re: [RFC Patch 1/9] Introducing generic hardware breakpoint handler interfaces
Date: Mon, 20 Oct 2008 05:33:40 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <787b0d920810200233v3ccc87bfjab4a4aec510a79cb@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I'd just like to point out that not all hardware breakpoints
involve addresses. For example:
The OLPC XO uses an x86 processor called the Geode.
It supports a breakpoint that traps based on the opcode.
For example, one could set it to trap on arpl instructions.
