[PATCH v2 4/5] ARM: hw_breakpoint: trap undef instruction exceptions in reset_ctrl_regs

Will Deacon will.deacon at arm.com
Mon Aug 15 13:41:56 EDT 2011


The ARM debug registers can only be accessed if the DBGSWENABLE signal
to the core is driven HIGH by the DAP. The architecture does not provide
a way to detect the value of this signal, so the best we can do is
register an undef_hook to trap debug register co-processor accesses and
then fail if the trap is taken.
