Subject: [PATCH v17 04/13] x86/hw_breakpoints: Add arch_modify_local_hw_breakpoint_addr() API
Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2026 13:25:31 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <179005113108.388919.2257490475086393913.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <179005108298.388919.4535333252892590932.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 v17:
 - In arch_modify_local_hw_breakpoint_addr(), check perf_guest_in_guest()
   instead of cpu_dr_in_guest.
Changes in v16:
 - Clear breakpoint in shadow cpu_dr7 before setting hardware DR7 so
   an intervening NMI cannot re-enable the breakpoint via
   local_db_restore() while the address register is being updated,
   preventing spurious #DB exceptions.
 - Check cpu_dr_in_guest and return -EBUSY to reject modifying local
   breakpoints while executing a KVM guest.
Changes in v15:
 - Temporarily clear the breakpoint enable bit in DR7 before updating the
   debug address register, and re-enable it afterward, to comply with the
   x86 hardware specification and avoid spurious #DB exceptions.
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.
