Subject: [PATCH v8 6/9] x86/hw_breakpoint: Add arch_reinstall_hw_breakpoint
Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2026 11:53:21 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <178417040126.209165.5176961124203156666.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <178417033089.209165.16717079876036408877.stgit@devnote2>
From: Jinchao Wang <wangjinchao600@gmail.com>
The new arch_reinstall_hw_breakpoint() function can be used in an
atomic context, unlike the more expensive free and re-allocation path.
This allows callers to efficiently re-establish an existing breakpoint.
