Hi !

Some comments below...

Can you use a more verbose constant ? reg.h is included everywhere so
the risk of collision is high.

Do you really need that ? It's just DABR_DATA_WRITE | DABR_DATA_READ :-)

Cheers,
Ben.

This constant is used by the generic HW Breakpoint code in
kernel/hw_breakpoint.c too and renaming it here will require changes
there too, while I don't see any existing name-space clashes.

Instead the definition can be moved into arch/powerpc/include/asm/hw_breakpoint.h
and in arch/power/include/asm/processor.h. What do you think?

Yes, it looks silly. I will remove it. The HW_BREAKPOINT_RW defined in
arch/powerpc/include/asm/hw_breakpoint.h will instead be defined as:

#define HW_BREAKPOINT_RW (DABR_DATA_READ | DABR_DATA_WRITE)

[RFC Patch 4/6] Modify process and processor handling code to recognise hardware debug registers

[K.Prasad]

Modify process handling code to recognise hardware debug registers during copy
and flush operations. Introduce a new TIF_DEBUG task flag to indicate a
process's use of debug register. Load the debug register values into a
new CPU during initialisation.
