Hi Marco, Le 28/06/2022 à 11:58, Marco Elver a écrit :
Internal data structures (cpu_bps, task_bps) of powerpc's hw_breakpoint implementation have relied on nr_bp_mutex serializing access to them. Before overhauling synchronization of kernel/events/hw_breakpoint.c, introduce 2 spinlocks to synchronize cpu_bps and task_bps respectively, thus avoiding reliance on callers synchronizing powerpc's hw_breakpoint.
We have an still opened old issue in our database related to hw_breakpoint, I was wondering if it could have any link with the changes you are doing and whether you could handle it at the same time. https://github.com/linuxppc/issues/issues/38 Maybe it is completely unrelated, but as your series modifies only powerpc and as the issue says that powerpc is the only one to do that, I thought it might be worth a hand up. Thanks Christophe
