From 5352ae638e2d7d5c9b2e4d528676bbf2af6fd6f3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jason Wessel Date: Thu, 28 Jan 2010 17:04:43 -0600 Subject: perf, hw_breakpoint, kgdb: Do not take mutex for kernel debugger This patch fixes the regression in functionality where the kernel debugger and the perf API do not nicely share hw breakpoint reservations. The kernel debugger cannot use any mutex_lock() calls because it can start the kernel running from an invalid context. A mutex free version of the reservation API needed to get created for the kernel debugger to safely update hw breakpoint reservations. The possibility for a breakpoint reservation to be concurrently processed at the time that kgdb interrupts the system is improbable. Should this corner case occur the end user is warned, and the kernel debugger will prohibit updating the hardware breakpoint reservations. Any time the kernel debugger reserves a hardware breakpoint it will be a system wide reservation.
