However, some other users like few systemtap tests or kernel test in samples/hw_breakpoint/data_breakpoint.c can also work with default step handler implementation. At the same time, some other like GDB/ptrace may implement their own step handler. Therefore, this patch introduces a new perf_event_attr bit field, so that arch specific code(specially on arm64) can make a decision to enable single stepping. Any architecture which is not using this field will not have any side effect.
