The PMU regset exposed through ptrace has 5 64-bit words, which are all copied in and out. However, mmcr0 in the thread_struct is an unsigned, which causes pmu_set to clobber the next variable in the thread_struct (used_ebb), and pmu_get to return the same variable in one half of the mmcr0 slot. --- arch/powerpc/kernel/ptrace.c | 31 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- 1 file changed, 27 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-)
