[PATCH 1/5] perf: Add hardware breakpoint address mask

From: Jacob Shin
Date: Wed Dec 12 2012 - 11:31:44 EST


Some architectures (for us, AMD Family 16h) allow for "don't care" bit
mask to further qualify a hardware breakpoint address, in order to
trap on range of addresses. Update perf uapi to add bp_addr_mask field
and define HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT_ADDR_MASK.
