Subject: [PATCH 2/5] perf/hw_breakpoint: Modify breakpoint even if the new attr has disabled set
Date: Fri, 10 Aug 2018 12:47:27 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180810104730.3293-3-jolsa@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180810104730.3293-1-jolsa@kernel.org>

We need to change the breakpoint even if the attr with
new fields has disabled set to true.

Current code prevents following user code to change
the breakpoint address:

  ptrace(PTRACE_POKEUSER, child, offsetof(struct user, u_debugreg[0]), addr_1)
  ptrace(PTRACE_POKEUSER, child, offsetof(struct user, u_debugreg[0]), addr_2)
  ptrace(PTRACE_POKEUSER, child, offsetof(struct user, u_debugreg[7]), dr7)

The first PTRACE_POKEUSER creates the breakpoint with
attr.disabled set to true:

  ptrace_set_breakpoint_addr(nr = 0)
    struct perf_event *bp = t->ptrace_bps[nr];

    ptrace_register_breakpoint(..., disabled = true)
      ptrace_fill_bp_fields(..., disabled)
      register_user_hw_breakpoint

So the second PTRACE_POKEUSER will be omitted:

  ptrace_set_breakpoint_addr(nr = 0)
    struct perf_event *bp = t->ptrace_bps[nr];
    struct perf_event_attr attr = bp->attr;

    modify_user_hw_breakpoint(bp, &attr)
      if (!attr->disabled)
        modify_user_hw_breakpoint_check
