Subject: [PATCH v5 2/8] x86/hw_breakpoint: Unify breakpoint install/uninstall
Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2025 10:17:02 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <175859022261.374439.6568585946904502801.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <175859019940.374439.7398451124225791618.stgit@devnote2>
From: Jinchao Wang <wangjinchao600@gmail.com>
Consolidate breakpoint management to reduce code duplication.
The diffstat was misleading, so the stripped code size is compared instead.
After refactoring, it is reduced from 11976 bytes to 11448 bytes on my
x86_64 system built with clang.
This also makes it easier to introduce arch_reinstall_hw_breakpoint().
In addition, including linux/types.h to fix a missing build dependency.
