From: K.Prasad Date: Tue, 15 Jun 2010 06:04:34 +0000 (+0530) Subject: hw_breakpoints: Allow arch-specific cleanup before breakpoint unregistration X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f7136c5150c29846d7a1d09109449d96b2f63445;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git hw_breakpoints: Allow arch-specific cleanup before breakpoint unregistration Certain architectures (such as PowerPC) have a need to clean up data structures before a breakpoint is unregistered. This introduces an arch-specific hook in release_bp_slot() along with a weak definition in the form of a stub function.
