    ptrace/x86: flush_ptrace_hw_breakpoint() shoule clear the virtual debug registers · f7da04c9
    Oleg Nesterov authored
    flush_ptrace_hw_breakpoint() destroys the counters set by ptrace, but
    "leaks" ->debugreg6 and ->ptrace_dr7.
    
    The problem is minor, but still it doesn't look right and flush_thread()
    did this until commit 66cb5917
    
     ("hw-breakpoints: use the new wrapper
    routines to access debug registers in process/thread code").  Now that
    PTRACE_DETACH does flush_ too this makes even more sense.
