H A Dhw_breakpoint.cc4bed4b9 Thu Feb 04 09:27:06 CST 2021 Lai Jiangshan <laijs@linux.alibaba.com> x86/debug: Prevent data breakpoints on __per_cpu_offset

When FSGSBASE is enabled, paranoid_entry() fetches the per-CPU GSBASE value
via __per_cpu_offset or pcpu_unit_offsets.

When a data breakpoint is set on __per_cpu_offset[cpu] (read-write
operation), the specific CPU will be stuck in an infinite #DB loop.

RCU will try to send an NMI to the specific CPU, but it is not working
either since NMI also relies on paranoid_entry(). Which means it's
undebuggable.
