From 5aae8a53708025d4e718f0d2e7c2f766779ddc71 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "K.Prasad" Date: Tue, 15 Jun 2010 11:35:19 +0530 Subject: powerpc, hw_breakpoints: Implement hw_breakpoints for 64-bit server processors Implement perf-events based hw-breakpoint interfaces for PowerPC 64-bit server (Book III S) processors. This allows access to a given location to be used as an event that can be counted or profiled by the perf_events subsystem. This is done using the DABR (data breakpoint register), which can also be used for process debugging via ptrace. When perf_event hw_breakpoint support is configured in, the perf_event subsystem manages the DABR and arbitrates access to it, and ptrace then creates a perf_event when it is requested to set a data breakpoint. [Adopted suggestions from Paul Mackerras to - emulate_step() all system-wide breakpoints and single-step only the per-task breakpoints - perform arch-specific cleanup before unregistration through arch_unregister_hw_breakpoint() ] Signed-off-by: K.Prasad Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras --- arch/powerpc/lib/Makefile | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'arch/powerpc/lib') diff --git a/arch/powerpc/lib/Makefile b/arch/powerpc/lib/Makefile index 7581dbffa18..a52ed2e47ac 100644 --- a/arch/powerpc/lib/Makefile +++ b/arch/powerpc/lib/Makefile @@ -20,6 +20,7 @@ obj-$(CONFIG_PPC64) += copypage_64.o copyuser_64.o \ memcpy_64.o usercopy_64.o mem_64.o string.o obj-$(CONFIG_XMON) += sstep.o ldstfp.o obj-$(CONFIG_KPROBES) += sstep.o ldstfp.o +obj-$(CONFIG_HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT) += sstep.o ldstfp.o ifeq ($(CONFIG_PPC64),y) obj-$(CONFIG_SMP) += locks.o -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
