[PATCH v6 02/11] x86: hw_breakpoint: Add a kconfig to clarify when a breakpoint fires
Posted by Masami Hiramatsu (Google) 1 week, 2 days ago
From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>

Add CONFIG_HAVE_POST_BREAKPOINT_HOOK which indicates the hw_breakpoint
on that architecture fires after the target memory has been modified.
This is currently x86 only behavior.
