Subject: [PATCH 1/2] x86: Provide guards in uapi/asm/hw_breakpoint.h to prevent deletion by patch
Date: Mon, 17 Dec 2012 14:49:25 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20121217144924.7769.69501.stgit@warthog.procyon.org.uk> (raw)

Provide reinclusion guards in the empty uapi/asm/hw_breakpoint.h to make sure
that the patch program doesn't delete it.

However, should some part of asm/hw_breakpoint.h actually be exported here,
or, possibly, should the entire uapi file be removed?  In v3.6, though the
file was marked for export to userspace, it had nothing outside of __KERNEL__.
