Subject: [PATCH 2/2] powerpc/ptrace: Fix setting 512B aligned breakpoints with PTRACE_SET_DEBUGREG
Date: Thu, 17 May 2018 15:37:15 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180517053715.24011-2-mikey@neuling.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180517053715.24011-1-mikey@neuling.org>
In this change:
e2a800beac powerpc/hw_brk: Fix off by one error when validating DAWR region end
We fixed setting the DAWR end point to its max value via
PPC_PTRACE_SETHWDEBUG. Unfortunately we broke PTRACE_SET_DEBUGREG when
setting a 512 byte aligned breakpoint.
PTRACE_SET_DEBUGREG currently sets the length of the breakpoint to
zero (memset() in hw_breakpoint_init()). This worked with
arch_validate_hwbkpt_settings() before the above patch was applied but
is now broken if the breakpoint is 512byte aligned.
This sets the length of the breakpoint to 8 bytes when using
PTRACE_SET_DEBUGREG.
