I think it won't affect architectures that don't set BP_STOP_BEFORE_ACCESS, because for those we will execute the load before trying to see if there is a watchpoint to take, and if there's no CPU watchpoint we'll be able to continue normally. So ARM, LM32, S390x and Xtensa might be affected. And of course any architecture which only sets up wps/bps which will definitely be hit architecturally when QEMU thinks they've been hit will be fine. Maybe rather than trying to be clever with the existing wp APIs we should have support for targets to register "did this really hit?" callbacks that get called before the core code tries to really generate the exception. I don't think I can really look in detail at this problem til next week at the earliest, though. thanks -- PMM
