Yeah, I think there's a bug in the hw_breakpoint stuff, does something
like the below fix it?
Thanks for your patch, but I still could reproduce the problem with your patch.
Frederic, any clue as to what makes hw breakpoints go funny and have
last_period == 0?
Hi Peter,

Thanks for you take care of it, I have got the root cause of it now.

It is the kgdb using hw_breakpoint_layer's API problem, and I have a RFC patch for it.(maybe it is not correctly), I will contact with Jason to fix this problem.

Thank you very much,
Dongdong


Thanks!

We are waiting for your patch then.
