2016-09-09	arm64: simplify sysreg manipulation	Mark Rutland	1	-6/+7
	A while back we added {read,write}_sysreg accessors to handle accesses to system registers, without the usual boilerplate asm volatile, temporary variable, etc. This patch makes use of these across arm64 to make code shorter and clearer. For sequences with a trailing ISB, the existing isb() macro is also used so that asm blocks can be removed entirely. A few uses of inline assembly for msr/mrs are left as-is. Those manipulating sp_el0 for the current thread_info value have special clobber requiremends.

2016-08-22	arm64: remove traces of perf_ops_bp	Mark Rutland	1	-2/+0
	Even though perf_ops_bp was removed/renamed back in commit b0a873ebbf87bf38 ("perf: Register PMU implementations"), as part of v2.6.37, its definition still lives on in some arch headers. This patch removes the vestigal definition from arm64.

2016-02-29	arm64: hw_breakpoint: Allow EL2 breakpoints if running in HYP	Marc Zyngier	1	-5/+13
	With VHE, we place kernel {watch,break}-points at EL2 to get things like kgdb and "perf -e mem:..." working. This requires a bit of repainting in the low-level encore/decode, but is otherwise pretty simple. Acked-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com>
2015-11-26	arm64: debug: Treat the BRPs/WRPs as unsigned	Suzuki K. Poulose	1	-2/+4
	IDAA64DFR0_EL1: BRPs and WRPs are unsigned values. Use the appropriate helpers to extract those fields.

2015-10-21	arm64/debug: Make use of the system wide safe value	Suzuki K. Poulose	1	-2/+7

2015-07-21	KVM: arm64: enable KVM_CAP_SET_GUEST_DEBUG	Alex Bennée	1	-0/+14
	Finally advertise the KVM capability for SET_GUEST_DEBUG. Once arm support is added this check can be moved to the common kvm_vm_ioctl_check_extension() code.

2014-08-28	arm64: ptrace: fix compat hardware watchpoint reporting	Will Deacon	1	-1/+0
	I'm not sure what I was on when I wrote this, but when iterating over the hardware watchpoint array (hbp_watch_array), our index is off by ARM_MAX_BRP, so we walk off the end of our thread_struct... ... except, a dodgy condition in the loop means that it never executes at all (bp cannot be NULL). This patch fixes the code so that we remove the bp check and use the correct index for accessing the watchpoint structures.
