perf/hw_breakpoint: Modify breakpoint even if the new attr has disabled set 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 Reported-by: Milind Chabbi <chabbi.milind@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Acked-by: Frederic Weisbecker <frederic@kernel.org> Acked-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180827091228.2878-3-jolsa@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
