DR6_RESERVED and DR_CONTROL_RESERVED are used to clear the set bits in the "unsigned long" data, make them long to ensure that "&~" doesn't clear the upper bits. This is only cleanup, the usage of ~DR*_RESERVED is safe but doesn't look clean and the pattern is error prone. - do_debug: dr6 &= ~DR6_RESERVED; this also wrongly clears 32-63 bits. Fortunately these bits are reserved and must be zero. - ptrace_write_dr7: data &= ~DR_CONTROL_RESERVED; on __i386__ this mixes long/int but sizeof should be the same.
