[PATCH 3.10 020/143] arm64: ptrace: fix compat hardware watchpoint reporting

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Oct 03 2014 - 19:00:26 EST


3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@xxxxxxx>

commit 27d7ff273c2aad37b28f6ff0cab2cfa35b51e648 upstream.

I'm not sure what I was on when I wrote this, but when iterating over
the hardware watchpoint array (hbp_watch_array), our index is off by
ARM_MAX_BRP, so we walk off the end of our thread_struct...

... except, a dodgy condition in the loop means that it never executes
at all (bp cannot be NULL).

This patch fixes the code so that we remove the bp check and use the
correct index for accessing the watchpoint structures.
