[PATCH/RFC v2 0/4] ARM: hw_breakpoint: Avoid undef instruction exceptions on wake-up

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

	Hi all,

If power area D4, which contains the Coresight-ETM hardware block, is
powered down on R-Mobile A1 (r8a7740), the kernel crashes when
suspending from s2ram with:

    Internal error: Oops - undefined instruction: 0 [#1] ARM

This happens because dbg_cpu_pm_notify() calls reset_ctrl_regs(), which
can't access the debug registers as the debug module is powered down.

As suggested by Russell King, track whether the ETM block is powered down
to fix this.

The availability of the debug registers depends on the platform and its
state.  Hence provide a mechanism for platform code to indicate that the
debug registers are available or not, using a boolean flag that
defaults to true.

This is an alternative solution for "[PATCH] ARM: hw_breakpoint: Trap undef
instruction exceptions on wake-up" (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/17/190).

Thanks for your comments!
