[PATCH v2 0/3] hw_breakpoint: Save privilege of access control via ptrace

[Tiezhu Yang]

Hi all,

Thank you very much for your feedbacks in the v1 patch.
This series is based on 6.10-rc4, cross compile tested only.

As far as I can tell, these changes are not relevant with tools/perf,
on some archs such as ARM, ARM64 and LoongArch which have privilege
level of breakpoint, the initial aim is to make use of the value of
ctrl->privilege saved in decode_ctrl_reg() and then remove the check
whether bp virtual address is in kernel space to assign value for
hw->ctrl.privilege in arch_build_bp_info().

v2:
  -- Put the new member "bp_priv" at the end of the uapi
     struct perf_event_attr and add PERF_ATTR_SIZE_VER9.
  -- Update the commit message to make the goal clear.

Tiezhu Yang (3):
  perf: Add perf_event_attr::bp_priv
  arm: hw_breakpoint: Save privilege of access control via ptrace
  arm64: hw_breakpoint: Save privilege of access control via ptrace
