[PATCH 3.2 026/153] perf/hwbp: Simplify the perf-hwbp code, fix documentation

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Wed May 30 2018 - 07:26:52 EST


3.2.102-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit f67b15037a7a50c57f72e69a6d59941ad90a0f0f upstream.

Annoyingly, modify_user_hw_breakpoint() unnecessarily complicates the
modification of a breakpoint - simplify it and remove the pointless
local variables.

Also update the stale Docbook while at it.
