The hcall H_SET_DAWR is used by a guest to set the data address
watchpoint register (DAWR). This hcall is handled in the host in
kvmppc_h_set_dawr() which can be called in either real mode on the
guest exit path from hcall_try_real_mode() in book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S,
or in virtual mode when called from kvmppc_pseries_do_hcall() in
book3s_hv.c.
The function kvmppc_h_set_dawr() updates the dawr and dawrx fields in
the vcpu struct accordingly and then also writes the respective values
into the DAWR and DAWRX registers directly. It is necessary to write
the registers directly here when calling the function in real mode
since the path to re-enter the guest won't do this. However when in
virtual mode the host DAWR and DAWRX values have already been
restored, and so writing the registers would overwrite these.
Additionally there is no reason to write the guest values here as
these will be read from the vcpu struct and written to the registers
appropriately the next time the vcpu is run.
This also avoids the case when handling h_set_dawr for a nested guest
where the guest hypervisor isn't able to write the DAWR and DAWRX
registers directly and must rely on the real hypervisor to do this for
it when it calls H_ENTER_NESTED.

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.
