Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/4] ARM: hw-breakpoint: add mechanism for hooking into prefetch aborts
Date: Tue,  2 Feb 2010 16:22:25 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1265127748-4587-2-git-send-email-will.deacon@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1265127748-4587-1-git-send-email-will.deacon@arm.com>

On ARM processors with hardware breakpoint and watchpoint support,
triggering these events results in a debug exception. These manifest
as prefetch and data aborts respectively.

arch/arm/mm/fault.c already provides hook_fault_code for hooking
into data aborts dependent on the DFSR. This patch adds a new function,
hook_ifault_code for hooking into prefetch aborts in the same manner.
