Hi Masami!
The single poke is used only at the boot time, before the system is able to allocate memory. After that, the batch mode becomes the default.
I was thinking to make one function to each method, but then I would have to change the do_int3() and manage how to switch between one and the other without further overhead. I was planing to do this in a second round of improvements.

No problem at all! :-)
I will change this function to better deal with the hot-path (the default mode after the system boots up).
how about something like this: ------------------ %< ------------------ int poke_int3_handler(struct pt_regs *regs) { void *ip; struct text_to_poke *tp;
/* * Having observed our INT3 instruction, we now must observe * bp_patching_in_progress. * * in_progress = TRUE INT3 * WMB RMB * write INT3 if (in_progress) * * Idem for bp_int3_handler. */ smp_rmb();
if (likely(!bp_patching_in_progress)) return 0;
if (user_mode(regs)) return 0;
/* * Single poke is only used at the boot. */ if (unlikely(!bp_int3_tpv)) goto single_poke;
ip = (void *) regs->ip - sizeof(unsigned char); tp = bsearch(ip, bp_int3_tpv, bp_int3_tpv_nr, sizeof(struct text_to_poke), text_bp_batch_bsearch); if (tp) { /* set up the specified breakpoint handler */ regs->ip = (unsigned long) tp->handler; return 1; }
return 0;
single_poke: if (regs->ip == (unsigned long) bp_int3_addr) { regs->ip = (unsigned long) bp_int3_handler; return 1; }
return 0; } ------------- >% ----------
In this way the default code is up, and the only 'if' I am using is a var of the batch mode (that will be used later). If are are still at the boot, we are jumping to the end of the function.
look better?

Ack! Doing that!
Thanks!
