Subject: [PATCH 12/13] ptrace/x86: flush_ptrace_hw_breakpoint() shoule clear the virtual debug registers
Date: Mon, 13 May 2013 17:17:40 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130513151740.GA6300@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130513151631.GA6215@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.
