dataw breakpoints

[Borislav Deianov <borislav@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm trying to set a DATAW breakpoint (on a PIII) and can't seem to be
able to. It always comes out as "Instruction(i)", and is not triggered
when something writes to the given address. 

Looking at the code (1.0 for 2.3.29), there seem to be two separate
problems:

-- kdba_parsebp saves the type of the breakpoint (1 for dataw in my
case) in the bp_template field of the passed kdb_bp_t *bp. When
printing the breakpoint in kdb_printbp the code never looks in the
bp_template field, so all breakpoints are shown as "Instruction(i)".

-- It seems that kdba_allocbp should copy the info from the
bp_template field to the newly allocated kdbhard_bp_t, so later
kdba_installdbreg can find it there when installing the breakpoint.

This is just from a quick look at the code, don't feel comfortable
enough with it to volunteer a patch.

One more question: when can we expect kdb for 2.3.4x? I have a problem
I cannot reproduce on 2.3.29...

Thanks a lot,
Borislav
