Use perf framework to manage hardware instruction and data breakpoints. LoongArch defines hardware watchpoint functions for instruction fetch and memory load/store operations. After the software configures hardware watchpoints, the processor hardware will monitor the access address of the instruction fetch and load/store operation, and trigger an exception of the watchpoint when it meets the conditions set by the watchpoint. The hardware monitoring points for instruction fetching and load/store operations each have a register for the overall configuration of all monitoring points, a register for recording the status of all monitoring points, and four registers required for configuration of each watchpoint individually.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
