[v2] arm64: Return early when break handler is found on linked-list

Commit Message

Liao, Chang Oct. 24, 2024, 3:41 a.m. UTC

The search for breakpoint handlers iterate through the entire
linked list. Given that all registered hook has a valid fn field, and no
registered hooks share the same mask and imm. This commit optimize the
efficiency slightly by returning early as a matching handler is found.

v2->v1:
Remove all WARN_ON(!hook->fn) in v1 as Will suggested.
