2016-11-18hw_breakpoint: Allow watchpoint of length 3,5,6 and 7Pratyush Anand
We only support breakpoint/watchpoint of length 1, 2, 4 and 8. If we can support other length as well, then user may watch more data with less number of watchpoints (provided hardware supports it). For example: if we have to watch only 4th, 5th and 6th byte from a 64 bit aligned address, we will have to use two slots to implement it currently. One slot will watch a half word at offset 4 and other a byte at offset 6. If we can have a watchpoint of length 3 then we can watch it with single slot as well. ARM64 hardware does support such functionality, therefore adding these new definitions in generic layer.

2016-07-12tools: Copy uapi/linux/hw_breakpoint.h from the kernelArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
To allow the build to complete on older systems, where those files are either not uptodate, lacking some recent additions or not present at all. And check if the copy drifts from the kernel.
