From: Ilya Mamay <[email protected]> Currently, ptrace returns EINVAL when the vector extension is supported but not yet activated for the traced process. This error code is not always appropriate since the ptrace arguments may be valid.
Debug tools like gdbserver expect ENODATA when the requested register set is not active, e.g. see [1]. This expectation seems to be more appropriate, so modify the vector ptrace implementation to return: - EINVAL when V extension is not supported - ENODATA when V extension is supported but not active [1] https://github.com/bminor/binutils-gdb/blob/637f25e88675fa47e47f9cc5e2cf37384836b8a2/gdbserver/linux-low.cc#L5020 Signed-off-by: Ilya Mamay <[email protected]> --- arch/riscv/kernel/ptrace.c | 10 ++++++++-- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/riscv/kernel/ptrace.c b/arch/riscv/kernel/ptrace.c index 8e86305831ea..906cf1197edc 100644 --- a/arch/riscv/kernel/ptrace.c +++ b/arch/riscv/kernel/ptrace.c @@ -95,9 +95,12 @@ static int riscv_vr_get(struct task_struct *target, struct __riscv_v_ext_state *vstate = &target->thread.vstate; struct __riscv_v_regset_state ptrace_vstate; - if (!riscv_v_vstate_query(task_pt_regs(target))) + if (!has_vector()) return -EINVAL; + if (!riscv_v_vstate_query(task_pt_regs(target))) + return -ENODATA; + /* * Ensure the vector registers have been saved to the memory before * copying them to membuf. @@ -130,9 +133,12 @@ static int riscv_vr_set(struct task_struct *target, struct __riscv_v_ext_state *vstate = &target->thread.vstate; struct __riscv_v_regset_state ptrace_vstate; - if (!riscv_v_vstate_query(task_pt_regs(target))) + if (!has_vector()) return -EINVAL; + if (!riscv_v_vstate_query(task_pt_regs(target))) + return -ENODATA; + /* Copy rest of the vstate except datap */ ret = user_regset_copyin(&pos, &count, &kbuf, &ubuf, &ptrace_vstate, 0, sizeof(struct __riscv_v_regset_state)); -- 2.51.0
