Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/4] ARM: add support for hw-breakpoints [v2]
Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2010 16:01:10 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1268236874-7877-1-git-send-email-will.deacon@arm.com> (raw)

This is version 2 of the RFC originally posted here:

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2010-February/009084.html

Changes from the previous version include:

- Based on 2.6.33
- Removal of self-modifying code to access the debug registers
- Control and value registers now reset during init
- Removal of .name field from struct arch_hw_breakpoint and associated
  symbol resolution [following comments made about patches for PPC].

All comments welcome [the last submission didn't attract any!].
