From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Return-Path: From: Michael Neuling To: benh@kernel.crashing.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/hw_brk: Fix off by one error when validating DAWR region end Date: Mon, 01 Jul 2013 14:19:50 +1000 Message-ID: <14367.1372652390@ale.ozlabs.ibm.com> Cc: Linux PPC dev , Edjunior Barbosa Machado List-Id: Linux on PowerPC Developers Mail List List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , The Data Address Watchpoint Register (DAWR) on POWER8 can take a 512 byte range but this range must not cross a 512 byte boundary. Unfortunately we were off by one when calculating the end of the region, hence we were not allowing some breakpoint regions which were actually valid. This fixes this error.
