[Yang Xu]

Hi All
Sorry, please ignore this email.:-[

> RHEL 4.18 kernel got this patch
> commit bd14406b78e6d ("perf/hw_breakpoint: Modify breakpoint even if the new attr has disabled set") since 4.18.0-49,
>
> therefore it will return success instead of EINVAL when modifying breakpoint.
>
> Without this fix, the test will fail on RHEL8 4.18 kernel with:
> tst_kernel.c:79: TINFO: uname.machine=x86_64 kernel is 64bit
> ptrace08.c:90: TINFO: Trying address 0xffff800000000000
> ptrace08.c:116: TFAIL: ptrace() breakpoint with kernel addr succeeded
> ptrace08.c:90: TINFO: Trying address 0xffffffffffffffff
> ptrace08.c:116: TFAIL: ptrace() breakpoint with kernel addr succeeded
> ptrace08.c:90: TINFO: Trying address 0xffffbfffffffffff
> ptrace08.c:116: TFAIL: ptrace() breakpoint with kernel addr succeeded
