Changes since v1: - Avoid arch code duplication between check and commit. Use a temporary struct arch_hw_breakpoint to fill up arch data on the fly (Mark Rutland)
- Start with a default weak version of hw_breakpoint_arch_parse() that architectures override one by one (Peter Zijlstra, Andy Lutomirski) git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/linux-dynticks.git perf/breakpoint-v2 HEAD: a350174ed8f7240b91ae46933bfe2274d3d03806 --- Summary --- When we modify a hardware breakpoint, the architecture code fills up the architecture data as the validation of generic attributes progresses. If something goes wrong in the middle, the architecture data changes aren't rolled back and we are left with a halfway fiddled breakpoint. This set fixes the various misdesigns that back this bad behaviour.
