[PATCH 2/4] perf tools: allow user to specify hardware breakpoint bp_len
From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Wed Oct 01 2014 - 17:38:31 EST
From: Jacob Shin <jacob.w.shin@xxxxxxxxx>
Currently bp_len is given a default value of 4. Allow user to override it:
$ perf stat -e mem:0x1000/8
^
bp_len
If no value is given, it will default to 4 as it did before.
