Subject: [PATCH 2/5] ARM: hw_breakpoint: reserve one breakpoint for watchpoint stepping
Date: Mon,  8 Aug 2011 18:12:49 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1312823572-9807-3-git-send-email-will.deacon@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1312823572-9807-1-git-send-email-will.deacon@arm.com>

The current hw_breakpoint code on ARM reserves 1 breakpoint for each
watchpoint that is available. Since debug architectures prior to 7.1
are restricted to 1 watchpoint anyway, only one breakpoint was ever
reserved.

This patch changes the reservation strategy so that a single breakpoint
is reserved, regardless of the number of watchpoints. This is in
preparation for multiple-watchpoint support on debug architectures
from 7.1 onwards.
