[PATCH 2/2] hw-breakpoints: Fix task-bound breakpoint slot allocation

From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Mon Dec 07 2009 - 01:23:17 EST


Whatever the context nature of a breakpoint, we always perform the
following constraint checks before allocating it a slot:

- Check the number of pinned breakpoint bound the concerned cpus
- Check the max number of task-bound breakpoints that are belonging
to a task.
- Add both and see if we have a reamining slot for the new breakpoint

This is the right thing to do when we are about to register a cpu-only
bound breakpoint. But not if we are dealing with a task bound
breakpoint. What we want in this case is:

- Check the number of pinned breakpoint bound the concerned cpus
- Check the number of breakpoints that already belong to the task
in which the breakpoint to register is bound to.
- Add both

This fixes a regression that makes the "firefox -g" command fail to
register breakpoints once we deal with a secondary thread.
