Hi All, Please find a revised patchset that implement hardware breakpoint interfaces for PPC64 architecture. The changes over the previous patchset posted here: http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2009-May/071942.html are given below. Kindly let me know your comments about the same. Changelog - ver II ------------------ (Ver I: http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2009-May/071942.html) - Split the monolithic patch into six logical patches - Changed the signature of arch_check_va_in_<user><kernel>space functions. They are now marked static. - HB_NUM is now called as HBP_NUM (to preserve a consistent short-name convention) - Introduced hw_breakpoint_disable() and changes to kexec code to disable breakpoints before a reboot. - Minor changes in ptrace code to use macro-defined constants instead of numbers. - Introduced a new constant definition INSTRUCTION_LEN in reg.h Thanks, K.Prasad
