Will Deacon 3b7e4a5ba9 ARM: 8986/1: hw_breakpoint: Don't invoke overflow handler on uaccess watchpoints
commit eec13b42d41b0f3339dcf0c4da43734427c68620 upstream.

Unprivileged memory accesses generated by the so-called "translated"
instructions (e.g. LDRT) in kernel mode can cause user watchpoints to fire
unexpectedly. In such cases, the hw_breakpoint logic will invoke the user
overflow handler which will typically raise a SIGTRAP back to the current
task. This is futile when returning back to the kernel because (a) the
signal won't have been delivered and (b) userspace can't handle the thing
anyway.

Avoid invoking the user overflow handler for watchpoints triggered by
kernel uaccess routines, and instead single-step over the faulting
instruction as we would if no overflow handler had been installed.

README

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 Restructured Text 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.
