Subject: [PATCH v9 06/10] x86/hw_breakpoint: Add arch_reinstall_hw_breakpoint
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2026 23:20:41 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <178429804092.157981.15678603723493216503.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <178429796992.157981.3393977217853767915.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.

 Changes in v9:
  - Update commit message.
  - Temporarily disable the active slot in setup_hwbp() before updating
    the address register to avoid spurious debug exceptions.
