Subject: ptrace/x86: ptrace_write_dr7() should create bp if !disabled
X-Git-Tag: v3.11-rc1~67^2~45
X-Git-Url: http://pileus.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b87a95ad609619482df0690320d5ace33ace8e7a;p=~andy%2Flinux

ptrace/x86: ptrace_write_dr7() should create bp if !disabled

Commit 24f1e32c60c4 ("hw-breakpoints: Rewrite the hw-breakpoints layer
on top of perf events") introduced the minor regression.  Before this
commit

	PTRACE_POKEUSER DR7, enableDR0
	PTRACE_POKEUSER DR0, address

was perfectly valid, now PTRACE_POKEUSER(DR7) fails if DR0 was not
previously initialized by PTRACE_POKEUSER(DR0).

Change ptrace_write_dr7() to do ptrace_register_breakpoint(addr => 0) if
!bp && !disabled.

This fixes watchpoint-zeroaddr from ptrace-tests, see

    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=660204.
