11 * struct hw_breakpoint - unified kernel/user-space hardware breakpoint
12 * @triggered: callback invoked after target address access
13 * @info: arch-specific breakpoint info (address, length, and type)
14 *
15 * %hw_breakpoint structures are the kernel's way of representing
16 * hardware breakpoints. These are data breakpoints
17 * (also known as "watchpoints", triggered on data access), and the breakpoint's
18 * target address can be located in either kernel space or user space.
19 *
20 * The breakpoint's address, length, and type are highly
21 * architecture-specific. The values are encoded in the @info field; you
22 * specify them when registering the breakpoint. To examine the encoded
23 * values use hw_breakpoint_get_{kaddress,uaddress,len,type}(), declared
24 * below.
25 *
26 * The address is specified as a regular kernel pointer (for kernel-space
27 * breakponts) or as an %__user pointer (for user-space breakpoints).
28 * With register_user_hw_breakpoint(), the address must refer to a
29 * location in user space. The breakpoint will be active only while the
30 * requested task is running. Conversely with
31 * register_kernel_hw_breakpoint(), the address must refer to a location
32 * in kernel space, and the breakpoint will be active on all CPUs
33 * regardless of the current task.
34 *
35 * The length is the breakpoint's extent in bytes, which is subject to
36 * certain limitations. include/asm/hw_breakpoint.h contains macros
37 * defining the available lengths for a specific architecture. Note that
38 * the address's alignment must match the length. The breakpoint will
39 * catch accesses to any byte in the range from address to address +
40 * (length - 1).
41 *
42 * The breakpoint's type indicates the sort of access that will cause it
43 * to trigger. Possible values may include:
44 *
45 * %HW_BREAKPOINT_RW (triggered on read or write access),
46 * %HW_BREAKPOINT_WRITE (triggered on write access), and
47 * %HW_BREAKPOINT_READ (triggered on read access).
48 *
49 * Appropriate macros are defined in include/asm/hw_breakpoint.h; not all
50 * possibilities are available on all architectures. Execute breakpoints
51 * must have length equal to the special value %HW_BREAKPOINT_LEN_EXECUTE.
52 *
53 * When a breakpoint gets hit, the @triggered callback is
54 * invoked in_interrupt with a pointer to the %hw_breakpoint structure and the
55 * processor registers.
56 * Data breakpoints occur after the memory access has taken place.
57 * Breakpoints are disabled during execution @triggered, to avoid
58 * recursive traps and allow unhindered access to breakpointed memory.
59 *
60 * This sample code sets a breakpoint on pid_max and registers a callback
61 * function for writes to that variable. Note that it is not portable
62 * as written, because not all architectures support HW_BREAKPOINT_LEN_4.
