+/**
+ * struct hw_breakpoint - unified kernel/user-space hardware breakpoint
+ * @triggered: callback invoked after target address access
+ * @info: arch-specific breakpoint info (address, length, and type)
+ *
+ * %hw_breakpoint structures are the kernel's way of representing
+ * hardware breakpoints.  These are data breakpoints
+ * (also known as "watchpoints", triggered on data access), and the breakpoint's
+ * target address can be located in either kernel space or user space.
+ *
+ * The breakpoint's address, length, and type are highly
+ * architecture-specific.  The values are encoded in the @info field; you
+ * specify them when registering the breakpoint.  To examine the encoded
+ * values use hw_breakpoint_get_{kaddress,uaddress,len,type}(), declared
+ * below.
+ *
+ * The address is specified as a regular kernel pointer (for kernel-space
+ * breakponts) or as an %__user pointer (for user-space breakpoints).
+ * With register_user_hw_breakpoint(), the address must refer to a
+ * location in user space.  The breakpoint will be active only while the
+ * requested task is running.  Conversely with
+ * register_kernel_hw_breakpoint(), the address must refer to a location
+ * in kernel space, and the breakpoint will be active on all CPUs
+ * regardless of the current task.
+ *
+ * The length is the breakpoint's extent in bytes, which is subject to
+ * certain limitations.  include/asm/hw_breakpoint.h contains macros
+ * defining the available lengths for a specific architecture.  Note that
+ * the address's alignment must match the length.  The breakpoint will
+ * catch accesses to any byte in the range from address to address +
+ * (length - 1).
+ *
+ * The breakpoint's type indicates the sort of access that will cause it
+ * to trigger.  Possible values may include:
+ *
+ * 	%HW_BREAKPOINT_RW (triggered on read or write access),
+ * 	%HW_BREAKPOINT_WRITE (triggered on write access), and
+ * 	%HW_BREAKPOINT_READ (triggered on read access).
+ *
+ * Appropriate macros are defined in include/asm/hw_breakpoint.h; not all
+ * possibilities are available on all architectures.  Execute breakpoints
+ * must have length equal to the special value %HW_BREAKPOINT_LEN_EXECUTE.
+ *
+ * When a breakpoint gets hit, the @triggered callback is
+ * invoked in_interrupt with a pointer to the %hw_breakpoint structure and the
+ * processor registers.
+ * Data breakpoints occur after the memory access has taken place.
+ * Breakpoints are disabled during execution @triggered, to avoid
+ * recursive traps and allow unhindered access to breakpointed memory.
+ *
+ * This sample code sets a breakpoint on pid_max and registers a callback
+ * function for writes to that variable.  Note that it is not portable
+ * as written, because not all architectures support HW_BREAKPOINT_LEN_4.
