Cover letter [PATCH V3 0/5] ARM64: More flexible HW watchpoint
Currently, we do not support all the byte select option provided by ARM64 specs for a HW watchpoint.
This patch set will help user to instrument a watchpoint with all possible byte select options.
Changes since v2:
- used __ffs() instead of ffs() - 1. Similarly for fls().
- fixed ptrace_hbp_get_addr() to report correct address to user space
- handling stepping for inexact watchpoint as well now.
Changes since v1:
- Introduced a new patch 3/5 where it takes care of the situation when HW does not report a watchpoint hit with the address that matches one of the watchpoints set.
- Added corresponding test case to test that functionality.
