From 3c502e7a0255d82621ff25d60cc816624830497e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jason Wessel Date: Thu, 4 Nov 2010 17:33:01 -0500 Subject: perf,hw_breakpoint: Initialize hardware api earlier When using early debugging, the kernel does not initialize the hw_breakpoint API early enough and causes the late initialization of the kernel debugger to fail. The boot arguments are: earlyprintk=vga ekgdboc=kbd kgdbwait Then simply type "go" at the kdb prompt and boot. The kernel will later emit the message: kgdb: Could not allocate hwbreakpoints And at that point the kernel debugger will cease to work correctly. The solution is to initialize the hw_breakpoint at the same time that all the other perf call backs are initialized instead of using a core_initcall() initialization which happens well after the kernel debugger can make use of hardware breakpoints.
