Subject: [PATCH v13 03/12] x86/hw_breakpoints: Add arch_modify_local_hw_breakpoint_addr() API
Date: Sat, 22 Aug 2026 18:22:53 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <178739057338.1520941.9166530552338317000.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <178739053919.1520941.17662338993878200834.stgit@devnote2>

From: Jinchao Wang <wangjinchao600@gmail.com>

Wprobe needs to move an active per-CPU watchpoint without releasing and
reserving its hardware slot.

Add arch_modify_local_hw_breakpoint_addr() as the architecture backend for
modify_local_hw_breakpoint_addr(). It validates the new address, finds the
installed local slot, and updates the hardware debug register and per-CPU
shadow register. The core layer (modify_local_hw_breakpoint_addr()) handles
updating bp->attr.bp_addr and counter_arch_bp(bp)->address.

The caller must provide an installed local event and a valid address.
Slot ownership, breakpoint type, length, mask and DR7 remain unchanged.

Changes in v13:
 - Add compiler barrier (barrier()) before checking cpu_dr7_seq to
   prevent hoisting the sequence check before set_debugreg().
 - Clarify in commit log and code comment that the core layer manages
   updating bp->attr.bp_addr and counter_arch_bp(bp)->address.
Changes in v11:
 - Return int error code instead of void.
 - Validate the new address using hw_breakpoint_arch_parse() before
   updating registers.
 - Increment cpu_dr7_seq in a sequence loop for NMI protection.
 - Return -ENOENT if the breakpoint slot is not found on the local CPU.
