Subject: [PATCH 3/3] x86/perf/hw_breakpoint: Fix check for kernelspace breakpoints
Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2015 20:32:42 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <136be387950e78f18cea60e9d1bef74465d0ee8f.1438312874.git.luto@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1438312874.git.luto@kernel.org>
In-Reply-To: <cover.1438312874.git.luto@kernel.org>
The check looked wrong, although I think it was actually safe. TASK_SIZE
is unnecessarily small for compat tasks, and it wasn't possible to make
a range breakpoint so large it started in user space and ended in kernel
space.
Nonetheless, let's fix up the check for the benefit of future
readers. A breakpoint is in the kernel if either end is in the
kernel.
