[PATCH v8 6/9] x86/hw_breakpoint: Add arch_reinstall_hw_breakpoint

"Masami Hiramatsu (Google)" <[email protected]>
Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.linux-trace-kernel,org.kernel.vger.linux-doc,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel,org.kernel.vger.linux-perf-users
Message-ID <178417040126.209165.5176961124203156666.stgit@devnote2>
From: Jinchao Wang <[email protected]>

The new arch_reinstall_hw_breakpoint() function can be used in an
atomic context, unlike the more expensive free and re-allocation path.
This allows callers to efficiently re-establish an existing breakpoint.
