This patch implements HW breakpoint on the 8xx. The 8xx has capability to manage HW breakpoints, which is slightly different than BOOK3S: 1/ The breakpoint match doesn't trigger a DSI exception but a dedicated data breakpoint exception. 2/ The breakpoint happens after the instruction has completed, no need to single step or emulate the instruction, 3/ Matched address is not set in DAR but in BAR, 4/ DABR register doesn't exist, instead we have registers LCTRL1, LCTRL2 and CMPx registers, 5/ The match on one comparator is not on a double word but on a single word. The patch does: 1/ Prepare the dedicated registers in call to __set_dabr(). In order to emulate the double word handling of BOOK3S, comparator E is set to DABR address value and comparator F to address + 4. Then breakpoint 1 is set to match comparator E or F, 2/ Skip the singlestepping stage when compiled for CONFIG_PPC_8xx, 3/ Implement the exception. In that exception, the matched address is taken from SPRN_BAR and manage as if it was from SPRN_DAR. 4/ I/D TLB error exception routines perform a tlbie on bad TLBs. That tlbie triggers the breakpoint exception when performed on the breakpoint address. For this reason, the routine returns if the match is from one of those two tlbie.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
