This last might be tricky to accomplish because cpu_switch() will swap out the debug registers if a thread is using them. However, you can easily manage hardware breakpoints from ddb using the 'hwatch' command. It is documented in ddb(4). kgdb doesn't support setting hardware watch points it seems. Note that you can try to use 'db_md_set_watchpoint()' from your kernel module (with DDB compiled into your kernel) if you want to set the address progammatically rather than via the 'hwatch' command in ddb. -- John Baldwin _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
