Ravi Bangoria c2837acfbf selftests/powerpc: Rewrite ptrace-hwbreak.c selftest
ptrace-hwbreak.c selftest is logically broken. On powerpc, when
watchpoint is created with ptrace, signals are generated before
executing the instruction and user has to manually singlestep the
instruction with watchpoint disabled, which selftest never does and
thus it keeps on getting the signal at the same instruction. If we fix
it, selftest fails because the logical connection between
tracer(parent) and tracee(child) is also broken. Rewrite the selftest
and add new tests for unaligned access.

With patch:
  $ ./tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/ptrace/ptrace-hwbreak
  test: ptrace-hwbreak

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
