Will Deacon 8f34a1da35 arm64: ptrace: use HW_BREAKPOINT_EMPTY type for disabled breakpoints
If a debugger tries to zero a hardware debug control register, the
kernel will try to infer both the type and length of the breakpoint
in order to sanity-check against the requested regset type. This will
fail because the encoding will appear as a zero-length breakpoint.

This patch changes the control register setting so that disabled
breakpoints are treated as HW_BREAKPOINT_EMPTY and no further
sanity-checking is required.

Will Deacon 7797d17c59 arm64: ptrace: make structure padding explicit for debug registers
The user_hwdebug_state structure contains implicit padding to conform to
the alignment requirements of the AArch64 ABI (namely that aggregates
must be aligned to their most aligned member).

This patch fixes the ptrace functions operating on struct
user_hwdebug_state so that the padding is handled correctly.

Catalin Marinas 7606c37d4a arm64: Do not export the compat-specific definitions to the user
This patch adds #ifdef __KERNEL__ guards around the COMPAT_* definitions
to avoid exporting them to user. AArch32 user requiring the kernel
headers must use those generated with ARCH=arm.

Will Deacon 27aa55c5e5 arm64: ptrace: remove obsolete ptrace request numbers from user headers
The use of regsets has removed the need for many private ptrace requests,
so remove the corresponding definitions from the user-visible ptrace.h
