      arm64: ptrace: avoid using HW_BREAKPOINT_EMPTY for disabled events · cdc27c27
      Will Deacon 提交于
      Commit 8f34a1da ("arm64: ptrace: use HW_BREAKPOINT_EMPTY type for
      disabled breakpoints") fixed an issue with GDB trying to zero breakpoint
      control registers. The problem there is that the arch hw_breakpoint code
      will attempt to create a (disabled), execute breakpoint of length 0.
      
      This will fail validation and report unexpected failure to GDB. To avoid
      this, we treated disabled breakpoints as HW_BREAKPOINT_EMPTY, but that
      seems to have broken with recent kernels, causing watchpoints to be
      treated as TYPE_INST in the core code and returning ENOSPC for any
      further breakpoints.
      
      This patch fixes the problem by prioritising the `enable' field of the
      breakpoint: if it is cleared, we simply update the perf_event_attr to
      indicate that the thing is disabled and don't bother changing either the
      type or the length. This reinforces the behaviour that the breakpoint
      control register is essentially read-only apart from the enable bit
      when disabling a breakpoint.
