Subject[PATCH 0/2] perf/hw_breakpoint: Fix breakpoint modify
Date
hi,
Milind reported that modify_user_hw_breakpoint wouldn't
allow the breakpoint changing if the new attr had 'disabled'
set to true.

I found a case where it actualy prevents ptrace user interface
to change the breakpoint. It's described in patch 1 as perf test,
patch 2 is the breakpoint code fix.

I ran strace tests, nothing (new) broken there..

thanks,
jirka
