Ingo,

Please pull the perf/breakpoint-v3 branch that can be found at:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/linux-dynticks.git
perf/breakpoint-v3

HEAD: 3c0681cc01b39e7fac6eb810e82380165c9b56f1

Changes since v2:

* Constify the struct perf_event_attr passed in hw_breakpoint_parse()
* Add acks

---
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.

Thanks,
Frederic
