These are data breakpoints * (also known as "watchpoints", triggered on data access), and the breakpoint's * target address can be located in either kernel space or user space. * * The breakpoint's address, length, and type are highly * architecture-specific. The values are encoded in the @info field; you * specify them when registering the breakpoint. To examine the encoded * values use hw_breakpoint_get_{kaddress,uaddress,len,type}(), declared * below. * * The address is specified as a regular kernel pointer (for kernel-space * breakponts) or as an %__user pointer (for user-space breakpoints). * With register_user_hw_breakpoint(), the address must refer to a * location in user space. The breakpoint will be active only while the * requested task is running. Conversely with * register_kernel_hw_breakpoint(), the address must refer to a location * in kernel space, and the breakpoint will be active on all CPUs * regardless of the current task. * * The length is the breakpoint's extent in bytes, which is subject to * certain limitations. include/asm/hw_breakpoint.h contains macros * defining the available lengths for a specific architecture. Note that * the address's alignment must match the length. The breakpoint will * catch accesses to any byte in the range from address to address + * (length - 1). * * The breakpoint's type indicates the sort of access that will cause it * to trigger. Possible values may include: * * %HW_BREAKPOINT_RW (triggered on read or write access), * %HW_BREAKPOINT_WRITE (triggered on write access), and * %HW_BREAKPOINT_READ (triggered on read access). * * Appropriate macros are defined in include/asm/hw_breakpoint.h; not all * possibilities are available on all architectures. Execute breakpoints * must have length equal to the special value %HW_BREAKPOINT_LEN_EXECUTE. * * When a breakpoint gets hit, the @triggered callback is * invoked in_interrupt with a pointer to the %hw_breakpoint structure and the * processor registers. * Data breakpoints occur after the memory access has taken place. * Breakpoints are disabled during execution @triggered, to avoid * recursive traps and allow unhindered access to breakpointed memory. * * This sample code sets a breakpoint on pid_max and registers a callback * function for writes to that variable. Note that it is not portable * as written, because not all architectures support HW_BREAKPOINT_LEN_4. * * ---------------------------------------------------------------------- * * #include * * struct hw_breakpoint my_bp; * * static void my_triggered(struct hw_breakpoint *bp, struct pt_regs *regs) * { * printk(KERN_DEBUG "Inside triggered routine of breakpoint exception\n"); * dump_stack(); * ............... * } * * static struct hw_breakpoint my_bp; * * static int init_module(void) * { * ...................... * my_bp.info.type = HW_BREAKPOINT_WRITE; * my_bp.info.len = HW_BREAKPOINT_LEN_4; * * my_bp.installed = (void *)my_bp_installed; * * rc = register_kernel_hw_breakpoint(&my_bp); * ...................... * } * * static void cleanup_module(void) * { * ...................... * unregister_kernel_hw_breakpoint(&my_bp); * ...................... * } * * ---------------------------------------------------------------------- */ struct hw_breakpoint { void (*triggered)(struct hw_breakpoint *, struct pt_regs *); struct arch_hw_breakpoint info; }; /* * len and type values are defined in include/asm/hw_breakpoint.h. * Available values vary according to the architecture.
