[PATCH v5 00/16] powerpc/watchpoint: Preparation for more than one watchpoint

From: Ravi Bangoria
Date: Sun May 10 2020 - 23:00:06 EST


So far, powerpc Book3S code has been written with an assumption of
only one watchpoint. But Power10[1] is introducing second watchpoint
register (DAWR). Even though this patchset does not enable 2nd DAWR,
it makes the infrastructure ready so that enabling 2nd DAWR should
just be a matter of changing count.

Existing functionality works fine with the patchset. I've tested it
with perf, ptrace(gdb), xmon. All hw-breakpoint selftests are passing
as well. And I've build tested for 8xx and 'AMCC 44x, 46x or 47x'.

Note: kvm or PowerVM guest is not enabled yet.
