Change ptrace_detach() to call flush_ptrace_hw_breakpoint(child). This frees the slots for non-ptrace PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT users, and this ensures that the tracee won't be killed by SIGTRAP triggered by the active breakpoints.
Test-case: unsigned long encode_dr7(int drnum, int enable, unsigned int type, unsigned int len) { unsigned long dr7; dr7 = ((len | type) & 0xf) << (DR_CONTROL_SHIFT + drnum * DR_CONTROL_SIZE); if (enable) dr7 |= (DR_GLOBAL_ENABLE << (drnum * DR_ENABLE_SIZE)); return dr7; } int write_dr(int pid, int dr, unsigned long val) { return ptrace(PTRACE_POKEUSER, pid, offsetof (struct user, u_debugreg[dr]), val); } void func(void) { } int main(void) { int pid, stat; unsigned long dr7; pid = fork(); if (!pid) { assert(ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0,0,0) == 0); kill(getpid(), SIGHUP); func(); return 0x13; } assert(pid == waitpid(-1, &stat, 0)); assert(WSTOPSIG(stat) == SIGHUP); assert(write_dr(pid, 0, (long)func) == 0); dr7 = encode_dr7(0, 1, DR_RW_EXECUTE, DR_LEN_1); assert(write_dr(pid, 7, dr7) == 0); assert(ptrace(PTRACE_DETACH, pid, 0,0) == 0); assert(pid == waitpid(-1, &stat, 0)); assert(stat == 0x1300); return 0; } Before this patch the child is killed after PTRACE_DETACH.
