From 651be3cb085341a21847e47c694c249c3e1e4e5b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pratyush Anand Date: Mon, 14 Nov 2016 19:32:42 +0530 Subject: hw_breakpoint: Allow watchpoint of length 3,5,6 and 7 We only support breakpoint/watchpoint of length 1, 2, 4 and 8. If we can support other length as well, then user may watch more data with less number of watchpoints (provided hardware supports it). For example: if we have to watch only 4th, 5th and 6th byte from a 64 bit aligned address, we will have to use two slots to implement it currently. One slot will watch a half word at offset 4 and other a byte at offset 6. If we can have a watchpoint of length 3 then we can watch it with single slot as well. ARM64 hardware does support such functionality, therefore adding these new definitions in generic layer.
