Debug Extension

Refer to Figure 21-6 on page 497. Setting CR4[DE] = 1 has the following effects:

  • It enables the ability to set IO as well as memory access breakpoints using the processor's Debug register set. In DR7, the R/W fields associated with each of the four possible breakpoints are used as follows:

    - 00b: Break on instruction execution only.

    - 01b: Break on data writes only.

    - 10b: Break on IO reads or writes. When CR4[DE] = 0, this pattern is reserved.

    - 11b: Break on data reads or writes but not instruction fetches.

  • DR4 and DR5 are reserved and attempts to access DR4 and DR5 result in the generation of an Invalid Opcode exception. When CR4[DE] = 0, access attempts to DR4 and DR5 are aliased to DR6 and DR7, respectively.
