>Description:

ARM uses an undefined instruction to emulate a software breakpoint.
However, the ptrace.h instruction on the one hand, and gdb/the kernel
disagree on the exact value.

This causes PTRACE_BREAKPOINT_ASM to generate a SIGILL instead of a SIGTRAP.

 Log Message:
 PR/52867: Martin Husemann: arm sofware breakpoint asm is slightly off

 ARM uses an undefined instruction to emulate a software breakpoint.
 However, the ptrace.h instruction on the one hand, and gdb/the kernel
 disagree on the exact value.

 This causes PTRACE_BREAKPOINT_ASM to generate a SIGILL instead of a SIGTRAP.
