Message-ID: <20090826201404.GA12766@in.ibm.com> Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2009 01:44:04 +0530 From: "K.Prasad" <prasad@...ux.vnet.ibm.com> To: LKML <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org>, Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@...il.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@...e.hu>, Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@...llo.nl>, Lai Jiangshan <laijs@...fujitsu.com>, Steven Rostedt <rostedt@...dmis.org>, Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@...ymtl.ca>, Alan Stern <stern@...land.harvard.edu> Subject: [Patch 0/3] HW-BKPT: Introduce new features to the hw-breakpoint infrastructure Hi All, Please find a set of patches that implement the features listed below. This is a sequel to the patchset posted yesterday http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/8/25/371 and contains a new patch 3/3. Patch 1/2: Allow per-cpu kernel-space Hardware Breakpoint requests Patch 2/2: Allow kernel breakpoints to be modified through a new API Patch 3/3: Allow breakpoints to be enabled/disabled without yielding the breakpoint request through a new API - enable_hw_breakpoint(). During discussion on LKML, these features were deemed necessary for effective exploitation of hardware breakpoints by perf-tools. The patches are based off -tip tree. Kindly let me know your comments on the same.
