I've looked at the code and it seems like this would be a bit more
complicated since the breakpoint is set by an accident in a race and the
call still fails. Which is why the test triggers the breakpoint and
causes infinite loop in the kernel...
I guess that we could instead read back the address with
PTRACE_PEEKUSER, so something as:
break_addr = ptrace(PTRACE_PEEKUSER, child_pid,
(void *)offsetof(struct user, u_debugreg[0]),
NULL);
if (break_addr == kernel_addr)
tst_res(TFAIL, "ptrace() set break on a kernel address");
