[PATCH 3/3] x86/debug: Fix PTRACE_{BLOCK,SINGLE}STEP vs ptrace_get_debugreg(6)

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Tue Oct 27 2020 - 05:44:34 EST


Commit d53d9bc0cf78 ("x86/debug: Change thread.debugreg6 to
thread.virtual_dr6") changed the semantics of the variable from random
collection of bits, to exactly only those bits that ptrace() needs.

Unfortunately we lost DR_STEP for PTRACE_{BLOCK,SINGLE}STEP.

Fixes: d53d9bc0cf78 ("x86/debug: Change thread.debugreg6 to thread.virtual_dr6")
