Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ptrace/x86: flush_ptrace_hw_breakpoint() shoule clear the virtual debug registers
Date: Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:53:41 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130430185341.GB12389@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130430185322.GA12389@redhat.com>

flush_ptrace_hw_breakpoint() destroys the counters set by ptrace, but
"leaks" ->debugreg6 and ->ptrace_dr7.

The problem is minor, but still it doesn't look right and flush_thread()
did this until 66cb5917. Now that PTRACE_DETACH does flush_ too this makes
even more sense.
