From f7136c5150c29846d7a1d09109449d96b2f63445 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "K.Prasad" Date: Tue, 15 Jun 2010 11:34:34 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] 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.
