Subject: [PATCH v9 02/10] x86: hw_breakpoint: Add a kconfig to clarify when a breakpoint fires
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2026 23:19:54 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <178429799402.157981.3586925347349122096.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <178429796992.157981.3393977217853767915.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.
