commit cd757645fbdc34a8343c04bb0e74e06fccc2cb10
Author: Mahesh Salgaonkar <mahesh@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>
Date:   Sat Jan 30 10:25:18 2010 +0530

    perf: Make bp_len type to u64 generic across the arch
    
    Change 'bp_len' type to __u64 to make it work across archs as
    the s390 architecture watch point length can be upto 2^64.
    
    reference:
    	http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/1/25/212
    
    This is an ABI change that is not backward compatible with
    the previous hardware breakpoint info layout integrated in this
    development cycle, a rebuilt of perf tools is necessary for
    versions based on 2.6.33-rc1 - 2.6.33-rc6 to work with a
    kernel based on this patch.
