On p10 predecessors, watchpoint with quadword access is compared at
quadword length. If the watch range is doubleword or less than that
in a first half of quadword aligned 16 bytes, and if there is any
unaligned quadword access which will access only the 2nd half, the
handler should consider it as extraneous and emulate/single-step it
before continuing.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
