    x86,kgdb: Implement early hardware breakpoint debugging · 031acd8c
    Jason Wessel authored
    It is not possible to use the hw_breakpoint.c API prior to mm_init(),
    but it is possible to use hardware breakpoints with the kernel
    debugger.
    
    Prior to smp_init() it is possible to simply write to the dr registers
    of the boot cpu directly.  This can be used up until the
    kgdb_arch_late() is invoked, at which point the standard hw_breakpoint.c
    API will get used.
