[PATCH v13 04/12] HWBP: Add modify_local_hw_breakpoint_addr() API

Message-ID <178739058492.1520941.9157739840785471708.stgit@devnote2>
From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <[email protected]>

Add modify_local_hw_breakpoint_addr() to update only the watched
address of an installed hardware breakpoint on the local CPU without
releasing and reserving its hardware slot. This is available when the
architecture selects CONFIG_HAVE_MODIFY_LOCAL_HW_BREAKPOINT_ADDR.

The caller must provide an installed local event and a valid address,
and update other CPUs separately.

Changes in v13:
 - Add comment to modify_local_hw_breakpoint_addr() clarifying the early
   update behavior of bp->attr.bp_addr during the NMI race window.
Changes in v12:
 - Update bp->attr.bp_addr and counter_arch_bp(bp)->address before
   calling arch_modify_local_hw_breakpoint_addr() to prevent race
   conditions during interrupt handling.
 - Restore counter_arch_bp(bp)->address and bp->attr.bp_addr if
   arch_modify_local_hw_breakpoint_addr() fails.
Changes in v11:
 - Check return value of arch_modify_local_hw_breakpoint_addr() and
   return error on failure.
 - Update bp->attr.bp_addr and counter_arch_bp(bp)->address only after
   arch modification succeeds.
