In commit e2a800beaca1 ("powerpc/hw_brk: Fix off by one error when
validating DAWR region end") we fixed setting the DAWR end point to
its max value via PPC_PTRACE_SETHWDEBUG. Unfortunately we broke
PTRACE_SET_DEBUGREG when setting a 512 byte aligned breakpoint.
PTRACE_SET_DEBUGREG currently sets the length of the breakpoint to
zero (memset() in hw_breakpoint_init()). This worked with
arch_validate_hwbkpt_settings() before the above patch was applied but
is now broken if the breakpoint is 512byte aligned.
This sets the length of the breakpoint to 8 bytes when using
PTRACE_SET_DEBUGREG.

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.
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.
