Subject: [PATCH] xmon: Clear all breakpoints when xmon is disabled via debugfs
Date: Sun, 4 Mar 2018 23:01:32 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180304173132.19677-1-vaibhav@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
Presently when xmon is disabled by debugfs any existing
instruction/data-access breakpoints set are not disabled. This may
lead to kernel oops when those breakpoints are hit as the necessary
debugger hooks aren't installed.
Hence this patch introduces a new function named clear_all_bpt()
which is called when xmon is disabled via debugfs. The function will
unpatch/clear all the trap and ciabr/dab based breakpoints.
