This shows up when the ptrace either fails or ptrace returns an
unknown value for AARCH64_DEBUG_ARCH value.
In the boot log there should be a message saying how many HW
breakpoint and watchpoints there are and what version of the debug
arch is there.
The supported values for debug arch are:
#define AARCH64_DEBUG_ARCH_V8 0x6
#define AARCH64_DEBUG_ARCH_V8_1 0x7
#define AARCH64_DEBUG_ARCH_V8_2 0x8
#define AARCH64_DEBUG_ARCH_V8_4 0x9

I don't know of any other values that can be reported, especially for
Neoverse-N1 (which should be 8_2). Neoverse-N2 is 8_4.

Thanks,
Andrew Pinski
