First issue: we get a mismatch between the parent and the child, because 
len 8 test generates two reads/writes while the parent installs the 
breakpoint only once.

Changing glvar from __u64 to unsigned long fixes the problem.

Then I get:

test: ptrace-hwbreak
tags: git_version:v5.4-rc2-710-gf0082e173fe4-dirty
PTRACE_SET_DEBUGREG, WO, len: 1: Ok
PTRACE_SET_DEBUGREG, WO, len: 2: Ok
PTRACE_SET_DEBUGREG, WO, len: 4: Ok
PTRACE_SET_DEBUGREG, RO, len: 1: Ok
PTRACE_SET_DEBUGREG, RO, len: 2: Ok
PTRACE_SET_DEBUGREG, RO, len: 4: Ok
PTRACE_SET_DEBUGREG, RW, len: 1: Ok
PTRACE_SET_DEBUGREG, RW, len: 2: Ok
PTRACE_SET_DEBUGREG, RW, len: 4: Ok
PPC_PTRACE_SETHWDEBUG, MODE_EXACT, WO, len: 1: Ok
PPC_PTRACE_SETHWDEBUG, MODE_EXACT, RO, len: 1: Ok
PPC_PTRACE_SETHWDEBUG, MODE_EXACT, RW, len: 1: Ok
PPC_PTRACE_SETHWDEBUG, MODE_RANGE, DW ALIGNED, WO, len: 6: Fail
failure: ptrace-hwbreak

Which shows that PPC_PTRACE_SETHWDEBUG doesn't work in MODE_RANGE
