set_ciabr(9)

✨ NAME ✨

set_ciabr — set the CIABR. This is the set_ciabr(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's lowkey a one-function main character: it does exactly what it says. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void set_ciabr (unsigned long addr );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• addr — the value to set. That's the whole assignment, bestie: this is the value the function works with. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so picture this: this function sets the correct privilege value into the HW breakpoint address before writing it up in the CIABR register. That's the vibe. It's giving "correct privilege value first, CIABR register write after," and honestly? Iconic. ✨
