Subject: [PATCH v7 02/10] x86: hw_breakpoint: Add a kconfig to clarify when a breakpoint fires
Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2026 10:44:21 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <178407986179.95826.1630626264869856006.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <178407983818.95826.12714571928538799781.stgit@devnote2>

From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>

Add CONFIG_HAVE_POST_BREAKPOINT_HOOK which indicates the hw_breakpoint
on that architecture fires after the target memory has been modified.
This is currently x86 only behavior.
