It allows to change its bp_addr, bp_len and bp_type throught new ioctl for perf breakpoint event. We already have a kernel interface for this via modify_user_hw_breakpoint function. This function however does not update the breakpoint slot counts. So when the same functionality was exposed to user space (Milind's change), with simple test program I could put wrong slots count on arm server [2] and ended up with no breakpoints available on the system. Note it's not an issue on x86, because it shares slot single counter for both data and inst types (CONFIG_HAVE_MIXED_BREAKPOINTS_REGS). This patchset contains my fixes for keeping breakpoint slots count updated. On top of it there's Milind's change for new _IOC_MODIFY_ATTRIBUTES ioctl interface to change a breakpoint. As I mentioned above there're kernel users of modify_user_hw_breakpoint function, all ptrace related AFAICS, which could got broken.. so cc-ing Oleg ;-) I ran gdb and strace tests suites and got same amount of skip/fail tests as when I run them on unpatched machine, so I assume nothing new got broken.
