cover HW-BKPT: Introduce per-cpu breakpoints and modify_kernel_hw_breakpoint API
Hi All,
Please find a set of patches that implement the following:
Patch 1/2: Allow per-cpu kernel-space Hardware Breakpoint requests Patch 2/2: Allow kernel breakpoints to be modified through a new API
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.
Thanks,
K.Prasad
