Patch #1 fixes issue for quardword instruction on p10 predecessors.
Patch #2 fixes issue for vector instructions.
Patch #3 fixes a bug about watchpoint not firing when created with
ptrace PPC_PTRACE_SETHWDEBUG and CONFIG_HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT=N.
The fix uses HW_BRK_TYPE_PRIV_ALL for ptrace user which, I
guess, should be fine because we don't leak any kernel
addresses and PRIV_ALL will also help to cover scenarios when
kernel accesses user memory.
Patch #4,#5 fixes infinite exception bug, again the bug happens only
with CONFIG_HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT=N.
Patch #6 fixes two places where we are missing to set hw_len.
Patch #7 introduce new feature bit PPC_DEBUG_FEATURE_DATA_BP_ARCH_31
which will be set when running on ISA 3.1 compliant machine.
Patch #8 finally adds selftest to test scenarios fixed by patch#2,#3
and also moves MODE_EXACT tests outside of BP_RANGE condition.
Christophe, let me know if this series breaks something for 8xx.
v5: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200825043617.1073634-1-ravi.bangoria@linux.ibm.com
v5->v6:
- Fix build faulure reported by kernel test robot
- patch #5. Use more compact if condition, suggested by Christophe
