How to add a haradware breakpoint on a physical memory address?

[kipade]

Thanks for your reply. The real fact is, a block of physical memory was reserver whilekernel booting, so that, the block of memory can not used by the whole memoryusing the normal api, such as malloc, get_free_pages.(because the block of memoryhave to reserved for remote dsp core). However, the block of memory was rewrittenif the application called eglSwapBuffer. and the gpu driver using gem memorymanaging method, i checked all pages allocated for ever gem_object but foundnothing.
