Subject: [Patch 5/6] Scheduler support for HARDWARE_WATCHPOINTS.
Date: Mon, 21 Apr 2008 17:33:04 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <480D3240.5050106@avtrex.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <480D2151.2020701@avtrex.com>

This is the meat of the patch.  Here we install the watch register values when we
schedule a new thread.

The implemtation of __restore_watch() is in asm/watch.h.  In the case where there
are no watch registers to install (the normal case) the overhead is 5 machine
instructions with gcc-3.4.3.
