From cb05143bdf428f280a5d519c82abf196d7871c11 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2020 19:33:30 +0100 Subject: x86/debug: Fix DR_STEP vs ptrace_get_debugreg(6) Commit d53d9bc0cf78 ("x86/debug: Change thread.debugreg6 to thread.virtual_dr6") changed the semantics of the variable from random collection of bits, to exactly only those bits that ptrace() needs. Unfortunately this lost DR_STEP for PTRACE_{BLOCK,SINGLE}STEP. Furthermore, it turns out that userspace expects DR_STEP to be unconditionally available, even for manual TF usage outside of PTRACE_{BLOCK,SINGLE}_STEP.
