Hi all,
This is the v4 of the hw-breakpoints API rewrite on top of perf events.
This integrates the following fixes:
Changes in v4:
- Drop the hw_breakpoint_restore() stub as it is only used by KVM - EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL hw_breakpoint_restore() as KVM can be built as a module - Restore the breakpoints unconditionally on kvm guest exit: TIF_DEBUG_THREAD doesn't anymore cover every cases of running breakpoints and vcpu->arch.switch_db_regs might not always be set when the guest used debug registers. (Waiting for a reliable optimization) - Simplify a bit the callback attribution as suggested by Paul Mackerras - Remove the wrong comment about the fact perf_event_create_kernel_counter must be called from a kernel thread.
Changes in v3:
- Fix broken CONFIG_KVM, propagate the breakpoint api changes to kvm when we exit the guest and restore the bp registers to the host. The only change is in the 4th patch.
Changes in v2:
- Follow the perf "event " rename - The ptrace regression have been fixed (ptrace breakpoint perf events weren't released when a task ended) - Drop the struct hw_breakpoint and store generic fields in perf_event_attr. - Separate core and arch specific headers, drop asm-generic/hw_breakpoint.h and create linux/hw_breakpoint.h - Use new generic len/type for breakpoint - Handle off case: when breakpoints api is not supported by an arch - Use proper in-kernel perf api provided by Arjan.
