[PATCH v2 5/5] arm64/ptrace: Reject attempts to set incomplete hardware breakpoint fields

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Dave Martin <Dave.Martin@xxxxxxx>

We cannot preserve partial fields for hardware breakpoints, because
the values written by userspace to the hardware breakpoint
registers can't subsequently be recovered intact from the hardware.

So, just reject attempts to write incomplete fields with -EINVAL.
