From: Will Deacon will@kernel.org Date: Fri, 29 May 2020 14:12:18 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] arm64: hw_breakpoint: Don't invoke overflow handler on uaccess watchpoints
Unprivileged memory accesses generated by the so-called "translated" instructions (e.g. STTR) at EL1 can cause EL0 watchpoints to fire unexpectedly if kernel debugging is enabled. In such cases, the hw_breakpoint logic will invoke the user overflow handler which will typically raise a SIGTRAP back to the current task. This is futile when returning back to the kernel because (a) the signal won't have been delivered and (b) userspace can't handle the thing anyway.
Avoid invoking the user overflow handler for watchpoints triggered by kernel uaccess routines, and instead single-step over the faulting instruction as we would if no overflow handler had been installed.
(Fixes tag identifies the introduction of unprivileged memory accesses, which exposed this latent bug in the hw_breakpoint code)
