I think the semantics here are that we are reading from bp/attr and writing to hw? If so would some sprinkling of const on the first two parameters help make that clearer? > { > int ret = -EINVAL, length_max; > - struct arch_hw_breakpoint *info = counter_arch_bp(bp); > > if (!bp) > return ret; > > - info->type = HW_BRK_TYPE_TRANSLATE; > - if (bp->attr.bp_type & HW_BREAKPOINT_R) > - info->type |= HW_BRK_TYPE_READ; > - if (bp->attr.bp_type & HW_BREAKPOINT_W) > - info->type |= HW_BRK_TYPE_WRITE; > - if (info->type == HW_BRK_TYPE_TRANSLATE) > + hw->type = HW_BRK_TYPE_TRANSLATE; > + if (attr->bp_type & HW_BREAKPOINT_R) > + hw->type |= HW_BRK_TYPE_READ; > + if (attr->bp_type & HW_BREAKPOINT_W) > + hw->type |= HW_BRK_TYPE_WRITE; > + if (hw->type == HW_BRK_TYPE_TRANSLATE) > /* must set alteast read or write */ > return ret; > - if (!(bp->attr.exclude_user)) > - info->type |= HW_BRK_TYPE_USER; > - if (!(bp->attr.exclude_kernel)) > - info->type |= HW_BRK_TYPE_KERNEL; > - if (!(bp->attr.exclude_hv)) > - info->type |= HW_BRK_TYPE_HYP; > - info->address = bp->attr.bp_addr; > - info->len = bp->attr.bp_len; > + if (!attr->exclude_user) > + hw->type |= HW_BRK_TYPE_USER; > + if (!attr->exclude_kernel) > + hw->type |= HW_BRK_TYPE_KERNEL; > + if (!attr->exclude_hv) > + hw->type |= HW_BRK_TYPE_HYP; > + hw->address = attr->bp_addr; > + hw->len = attr->bp_len; All looks right to me. > /* > * Since breakpoint length can be a maximum of HW_BREAKPOINT_LEN(8) > @@ -176,12 +177,12 @@ int arch_validate_hwbkpt_settings(struct perf_event *bp) > if (cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_DAWR)) { > length_max = 512 ; /* 64 doublewords */ > /* DAWR region can't cross 512 boundary */ > - if ((bp->attr.bp_addr >> 10) != > - ((bp->attr.bp_addr + bp->attr.bp_len - 1) >> 10)) > + if ((attr->bp_addr >> 10) != > + ((attr->bp_addr + attr->bp_len - 1) >> 10)) > return -EINVAL; This will conflict with my next branch, but it should be easy enough to resolve. > } > - if (info->len > > - (length_max - (info->address & HW_BREAKPOINT_ALIGN))) > + if (hw->len > > + (length_max - (hw->address & HW_BREAKPOINT_ALIGN))) > return -EINVAL; > return 0; > } Acked-by: Michael Ellerman <m...@ellerman.id.au> cheers
