[PATCH 5.15 4/6] x86/fpu: Allow PKRU to be (once again) written by ptrace.

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

 



From: Kyle Huey <me@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 4a804c4f8356 upstream

Handle PKRU in copy_uabi_to_xstate() for the benefit of APIs that write
the XSTATE such as PTRACE_SETREGSET with NT_X86_XSTATE.

This restores the pre-5.14 behavior of ptrace. The regression can be seen
by running gdb and executing `p $pkru`, `set $pkru = 42`, and `p $pkru`.
On affected kernels (5.14+) the write to the PKRU register (which gdb
performs through ptrace) is ignored.

Fixes: e84ba47e313d ("x86/fpu: Hook up PKRU into ptrace()")

+ * 2.	When called from ptrace the PKRU register will be restored from the
+ *	thread_struct's pkru field. A pointer to that is passed in @pkru.
+ *	The kernel will restore it manually, so the XRSTOR behavior that resets
+ *	the PKRU register to the hardware init value (0) if the corresponding
+ *	xfeatures bit is not set is emulated here.
