From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Sat, 27 Feb 2010 16:24:15 +0000 (+0100) Subject: x86/hw-breakpoints: Remove the name field X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3d083407a16698de86b42aee0da2ffb280b5cb7e;p=linux-beck.git x86/hw-breakpoints: Remove the name field Remove the name field from the arch_hw_breakpoint. We never deal with target symbols in the arch level, neither do we need to ever store it. It's a legacy for the previous version of the x86 breakpoint backend. Let's remove it.
