Subject: [RFC PATCH 12/13] mm/kstackwatch: Add debug and test functions
Date: Mon, 18 Aug 2025 20:26:17 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250818122720.434981-13-wangjinchao600@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250818122720.434981-12-wangjinchao600@gmail.com>
This patch adds new helper functions to the kstackwatch module to aid in
debugging and testing.
- `ksw_watch_show()`: Displays information about the currently active hardware
breakpoint, such as its address and length. This is useful for verifying
that a breakpoint has been correctly installed.
- `ksw_watch_fire()`: Manually triggers the active hardware breakpoint. This
function is for testing the breakpoint handler to ensure it correctly
identifies and reports the stack corruption.
