x86/debug: Support negative polarity DR6 bits
DR6 has a whole bunch of bits that have negative polarity; they were architecturally reserved and defined to be 1 and are now getting used. Since they're 1 by default, 0 becomes the signal value. Handle this by xor'ing the read DR6 value by the reserved mask, this will flip them around such that 1 is the signal value (positive polarity). Current Linux doesn't yet support any of these bits, but there's two defined: - DR6[11] Bus Lock Debug Exception (ISEr39) - DR6[16] Restricted Transactional Memory (SDM) Update ptrace_{set,get}_debugreg() to provide/consume the value in architectural polarity. Although afaict ptrace_set_debugreg(6) is pointless, the value is not consumed anywhere. Change hw_breakpoint_restore() to alway write the DR6_RESERVED value to DR6, again, no consumer for that write.
