(patch 2) - Modified sample test to set set step_needed bit field (patch 3) v1 was here: http://marc.info/?l=linux-arm-kernel&m=149910958418708&w=2 samples/hw_breakpoint/data_breakpoint.c passes with x86_64 but fails with ARM64. Even though it has been NAKed previously on upstream [1, 2], I have tried to come up with patches which can resolve it for ARM64 as well. I noticed that even perf step exception can go into an infinite loop if CPU receives an interrupt while executing breakpoint/watchpoint handler. So, event though we are not concerned about above test, we will have to find a solution for the perf issue. This patchset attempts to resolve both the issue. Please review. Since, it also takes care of SW breakpoint, so I hope kgdb should also be fine. However, I have not tested that. @Takahiro: Will it be possible to test these patches for kgdb.
