[PATCH 5/6] kgdb,debug_core: pass the breakpoint struct instead of address and memory

From: Jason Wessel
Date: Thu Mar 29 2012 - 18:49:44 EST


There is extra state information that needs to be exposed in the
kgdb_bpt structure for tracking how a breakpoint was installed. The
debug_core only uses the the probe_kernel_write() to install
breakpoints, but this is not enough for all the archs. Some arch such
as x86 need to use text_poke() in order to install a breakpoint into a
read only page.

Passing the kgdb_bpt structure to kgdb_arch_set_breakpoint() and
kgdb_arch_remove_breakpoint() allows other archs to set the type
variable which indicates how the breakpoint was installed.
