commit 3eb2a8b23598e90fda43abb0f23cb267bd5018ba upstream.
In the current code, if multiple hardware breakpoints/watchpoints in
a user-space thread, some of them will not be triggered.
When debugging the following code using gdb.
lihui@bogon:~$ cat test.c
#include <stdio.h>
int a = 0;
int main()
{
printf("start test\n");
a = 1;
printf("a = %d\n", a);
printf("end test\n");
return 0;
}
lihui@bogon:~$ gcc -g test.c -o test
lihui@bogon:~$ gdb test
...
(gdb) start
...
Temporary breakpoint 1, main () at test.c:5
5 printf("start test\n");
(gdb) watch a
Hardware watchpoint 2: a
(gdb) hbreak 8
Hardware assisted breakpoint 3 at 0x1200006ec: file test.c, line 8.
(gdb) c
Continuing.
start test
a = 1
Breakpoint 3, main () at test.c:8
8 printf("end test\n");
...
The first hardware watchpoint is not triggered, the root causes are:
1. In hw_breakpoint_control(), The FWPnCFG1.2.4/MWPnCFG1.2.4 register
settings are not distinguished. They should be set based on hardware
watchpoint functions (fetch or load/store operations).
2. In breakpoint_handler() and watchpoint_handler(), it doesn't identify
which watchpoint is triggered. So, all watchpoint-related perf_event
callbacks are called and siginfo is sent to the user space. This will
cause user-space unable to determine which watchpoint is triggered.
The kernel need to identity which watchpoint is triggered via MWPS/
FWPS registers, and then call the corresponding perf event callbacks
to report siginfo to the user-space.
Modify the relevant code to solve above issues.

With this patch:
lihui@bogon:~$ gdb test
...
(gdb) start
...
Temporary breakpoint 1, main () at test.c:5
5 printf("start test\n");
(gdb) watch a
Hardware watchpoint 2: a
(gdb) hbreak 8
Hardware assisted breakpoint 3 at 0x1200006ec: file test.c, line 8.
(gdb) c
Continuing.
start test
Hardware watchpoint 2: a
Old value = 0
New value = 1
main () at test.c:7
7 printf("a = %d\n", a);
(gdb) c
Continuing.
a = 1
Breakpoint 3, main () at test.c:8
8 printf("end test\n");
(gdb) c
Continuing.
end test
