Subject: [patch 0/5] access_process_vm device memory access
Date: Thu, 15 May 2008 13:53:57 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080515175357.636334082@redhat.com> (raw)
In order to be able to debug things like the X server and programs
using the PPC Cell SPUs, the debugger needs to be able to access
device memory through ptrace and /proc/pid/mem.
Changelog:
- use CONFIG_HAVE_IOREMAP_PROT
- do not use generic_access_phys as a fallback but define it in
the ->vm_ops->access for appropriate VMAs
- other code cleanups suggested by Andrew Morton and Sam Ravnborg
