[PATCH v2 4/6] perf parse-events: Add default_breakpoint_len helper

From: Ian Rogers
Date: Wed Sep 04 2024 - 01:07:13 EST


The default breakpoint length is "sizeof(long)" however this is
incorrect on platforms like Aarch64 where sizeof(long) is 8 but the
breakpoint length is 4. Add a helper function that can be used to
determine the correct breakpoint length, in this change it just
returns the existing default sizeof(long) value.

Use the helper in the bp_account test so that, when modifying the
event from a watchpoint to a breakpoint, the breakpoint length is
appropriate for the architecture and not just sizeof(long).
