krytarowski added inline comments.
================
Comment at: lldb/source/Host/common/NativeProcessProtocol.cpp:525-526
static const uint8_t g_s390x_opcode[] = {0x00, 0x01};
+ static const uint8_t g_ppc_opcode[] = {0x7f, 0xc0, 0x00, 0x08};
static const uint8_t g_ppc64le_opcode[] = {0x08, 0x00, 0xe0, 0x7f}; // trap

NetBSD uses:
`#define PTRACE_BREAKPOINT ((const uint8_t[]) { 0x7f, 0xe0, 0x00, 0x08
})`.
