In the current code, gdb can set the watchpoint successfully through ptrace interface, but watchpoint will not be triggered. When debugging the following code using gdb. lihui@bogon:~$ cat test.c #include <stdio.h> int a = 0; int main() { a = 1; printf("a = %d\n", a); return 0; } lihui@bogon:~$ gcc -g test.c -o test lihui@bogon:~$ gdb test ... (gdb) watch a ... (gdb) r ... a = 1 [Inferior 1 (process 4650) exited normally] No watchpoints were triggered, the root causes are: 1. Kernel uses perf_event and hw_breakpoint framework to control watchpoint, but the perf_event corresponding to watchpoint is not enabled. So it needs to be enabled according to MWPnCFG3 or FWPnCFG3 PLV bit field in ptrace_hbp_set_ctrl(), and privilege is set according to the monitored addr in hw_breakpoint_control(). Furthermore, add a judgment in ptrace_hbp_set_addr() to ensure kernel-space addr cannot be monitored in user mode. 2. The global enable control for all watchpoints is the WE bit of CSR.CRMD, and hardware sets the value to 0 when an exception is triggered. When the ERTN instruction is executed to return, the hardware restores the value of the PWE field of CSR.PRMD here. So, before a thread containing watchpoints be scheduled, the PWE field of CSR.PRMD needs to be set to 1. Add this modification in hw_breakpoint_control(). All changes according to the LoongArch Reference Manual: https://loongson.github.io/LoongArch-Documentation/LoongArch-Vol1-EN.html#control-and-status-registers-related-to-watchpoints https://loongson.github.io/LoongArch-Documentation/LoongArch-Vol1-EN.html#basic-control-and-status-registers With this patch: lihui@bogon:~$ gdb test ...
