In the current code, when debugging the following code using gdb,
"invalid argument ..." message will be displayed.
lihui@bogon:~$ cat test.c
#include <stdio.h>
int a = 0;
int main()
{
a = 1;
return 0;
}
lihui@bogon:~$ gcc -g test.c -o test
lihui@bogon:~$ gdb test
...
(gdb) watch a
Hardware watchpoint 1: a
(gdb) r
...
Invalid argument setting hardware debug registers
There are mainly two types of issues.
1. Some incorrect judgment condition existed in user_watch_state
argument parsing, causing -EINVAL to be returned.
When setting up a watchpoint, gdb uses the ptrace interface,
ptrace(PTRACE_SETREGSET, tid, NT_LOONGARCH_HW_WATCH, (void *) &iov)).
Register values in user_watch_state as follows:
addr[0] = 0x0, mask[0] = 0x0, ctrl[0] = 0x0
addr[1] = 0x0, mask[1] = 0x0, ctrl[1] = 0x0
addr[2] = 0x0, mask[2] = 0x0, ctrl[2] = 0x0
addr[3] = 0x0, mask[3] = 0x0, ctrl[3] = 0x0
addr[4] = 0x0, mask[4] = 0x0, ctrl[4] = 0x0
addr[5] = 0x0, mask[5] = 0x0, ctrl[5] = 0x0
addr[6] = 0x0, mask[6] = 0x0, ctrl[6] = 0x0
addr[7] = 0x12000803c, mask[7] = 0x0, ctrl[7] = 0x610
In arch_bp_generic_fields(), return -EINVAL when ctrl.len is
LOONGARCH_BREAKPOINT_LEN_8(0b00). So delete the incorrect judgment here.
In ptrace_hbp_fill_attr_ctrl(), when note_type is NT_LOONGARCH_HW_WATCH
and ctrl[0] == 0x0, if ((type & HW_BREAKPOINT_RW) != type) will return
-EINVAL. Here ctrl.type should be set based on note_type, and unnecessary
judgments can be removed.
2. The watchpoint argument was not set correctly due to unnecessary
offset and alignment_mask.
Modify ptrace_hbp_fill_attr_ctrl() and hw_breakpoint_arch_parse(), which
ensure the watchpont argument is set correctly.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
