[PATCH] ptrace: Fix EFL_OFFSET value according to i386 pda changes

8701ea95 · Jeremy Fitzhardinge <[email protected]> · 2006-12-22 01:11:21 -08:00

The PDA patches introduced a bug in ptrace: it reads eflags from the wrong
place on the target's stack, but writes it back to the correct place.  The
result is a corrupted eflags, which is most visible when it turns interrupts
off unexpectedly.

This patch fixes this by making the ptrace code a little less fragile.  It
changes [gs]et_stack_long to take a straightforward byte offset into struct
pt_regs, rather than requiring all callers to do a sizeof(struct pt_regs)
offset adjustment.  This means that the eflag's offset (EFL_OFFSET) on the
target stack can be simply computed with offsetof().
