The three is just checking word alignment, which I think was the
intention of the previous
- if (*offp != 0 && *offp != 4)
But using BPT_SIZE is is a different calculation.
BPT_SIZE == 2 * sizeof(unsigned int) == 8
Which would mean the trap of the breakpoint pair of instructions would
return NULL.

It would be even better if you didn't hard code the 3 wouldn't it?

eg:

+   *offp = off & (BPT_SIZE - 1);
+   if (off & (BPT_SIZE - 1))
return NULL;

I probably would have just folded this change into patch 2 but it looks fine to 
me.

[PATCH v7 04/28] powerpc/xmon: Use bitwise calculations in_breakpoint_table()

2020-04-30 Thread Jordan Niethe
A modulo operation is used for calculating the current offset from a
breakpoint within the breakpoint table. As instruction lengths are
always a power of 2, this can be replaced with a bitwise 'and'. The
current check for word alignment can be replaced with checking that the
lower 2 bits are not set.
