Subject: [PATCH 11/17] mm/ksw: add self-debug functions for kstackwatch watch
Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2025 15:32:44 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250828073311.1116593-12-wangjinchao600@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250828073311.1116593-1-wangjinchao600@gmail.com>
Introduce ksw_watch_show() and ksw_watch_fire() for runtime debugging of
kstackwatch's watch mechanism:
- ksw_watch_show(): prints the currently armed watch address and length
- ksw_watch_fire(): forcibly triggers the watch by writing to the watched
address
These functions help validate the dynamic watch behavior and facilitate
testing without requiring real events.
