From 44234adcdce38f83c56e05f808ce656175b4beeb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Wed, 9 Dec 2009 09:25:48 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] hw-breakpoints: Modify breakpoints without unregistering them Currently, when ptrace needs to modify a breakpoint, like disabling it, changing its address, type or len, it calls modify_user_hw_breakpoint(). This latter will perform the heavy and racy task of unregistering the old breakpoint and registering a new one. This is racy as someone else might steal the reserved breakpoint slot under us, which is undesired as the breakpoint is only supposed to be modified, sometimes in the middle of a debugging workflow. We don't want our slot to be stolen in the middle. So instead of unregistering/registering the breakpoint, just disable it while we modify its breakpoint fields and re-enable it after if necessary.
