    ARM: hw_breakpoint: don't advertise reserved breakpoints · 0017ff42
    Will Deacon authored
    To permit handling of watchpoint exceptions without signalling a
    debugger, it is necessary to reserve breakpoint registers for in-kernel
    use only.
    
    This patch ensures that we record and subtract the number of reserved
    breakpoints from the number of usable breakpoint registers that we
    advertise to userspace via the ptrace API.
