[PATCH v2 0/2] riscv: Introduce support for hardware break/watchpoints

[Himanshu Chauhan]

This patchset adds support of hardware breakpoints and watchpoints in RISC-V
architecture. The framework is built on top of perf subsystem and SBI debug
trigger extension.

Currently following features are not supported and are in works:
 - Ptrace support
 - Single stepping
 - Virtualization of debug triggers

The SBI debug trigger extension proposal can be found in Chapter-19 of SBI specification:
https://github.com/riscv-non-isa/riscv-sbi-doc/releases/download/v3.0/riscv-sbi.pdf

The Sdtrig ISA is part of RISC-V debug specification which can be found at:
https://github.com/riscv/riscv-debug-spec

Changes from v1:
	-  The patch that adds the extension and the function IDs defined by the extension is
	   already merged. So this patch builds on top of that.
	- Added breakpoint test application in self tests to test debug triggers

How to use:
~~~~~~~~~~~
OpenSBI:
https://github.com/riscv-software-src/opensbi.git

Qemu:
https://github.com/qemu/qemu.git

Linux Kernel:
https://github.com/hschauhan/riscv-linux/tree/sdtrig-v2-upstream has these patches pre-applied
and based on v6.19-rc4.

or

You can pull v6.19-rc4 branch from Linus' Tree and apply these patches.

How to test:
~~~~~~~~~~~
>From the Linux kernel directory issue the following command:
make -C tools/testing/selftests/breakpoints/

This will make a binary named breakpoint_test_riscv under the same directory.
Load it on the machine and run. Sample output is given below:

/ # /apps/breakpoint_test_riscv
breakpoint triggered!
Breakpoint test passed!
watchpoint triggered!
Watchpoint test passed!
