On arm64 the breakpoint length should be 4-bytes but 8-bytes is tolerated as perf passes that as sizeof(long). Just pass the correct value. On i386 the sizeof(long) check in the kernel needs to match the kernel's long size. Check using an environment (uname checks) whether 4 or 8 bytes needs to be passed. Cache the value in a static.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
