[PATCH - revised] Kwatch: kernel watchpoints using CPU debug registers

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Alan Stern <[email protected]>

This patch (as839b) implements the Kwatch (kernel-space hardware-based
watchpoints) API for the i386 architecture.  The API is explained in
the kerneldoc for register_kwatch() in arch/i386/kernel/kwatch.c, and
there is demonstration code in include/asm-i386/kwatch.h.

The original version of the patch was written by Vamsi Krishna S and
Bharata B Rao in 2002.  It was updated in 2004 by Prasanna S Panchamukhi
for 2.6.13 and then again (here) by me for 2.6.20.

This version of the patch has been revised along the lines suggested by
Christoph.  Note that it is meant to apply on top of the i386-ptrace
whitespace cleanup patch I submitted last week.

The impact of kwatch upon utrace is minimal.  Kwatch is intended for 
adding hardware watchpoints in the kernel, whereas utrace is intended for 
general debugging (not including watchpoints at the moment, oddly enough) 
of user processes.  The two don't really overlap, and adding kwatch should 
not result in any significant delay in adding utrace.
