[PATCH RFC v3 1/5] AArch64: Add single-step and breakpoint handler hooks

Sandeepa Prabhu sandeepa.prabhu at linaro.org
Tue Oct 1 11:57:56 EDT 2013


AArch64 Single Steping and Breakpoint debug exceptions will be
used by multiple debug framworks like kprobes & kgdb.

This patch implements the hooks for those frameworks to register
their own handlers for handling breakpoint and single step events.

Reworked the debug exception handler in entry.S: do_dbg to route
software breakpoint (BRK64) exception to do_debug_exception()
