2011-07-13ARM: Thumb-2: Support Thumb-2 in undefined instruction handlerJon Medhurst
This patch allows undef_hook's to be specified for 32-bit Thumb instructions and also to be used for thumb kernel-side code. 32-bit Thumb instructions are specified in the form: ((first_half << 16 ) | second_half) which matches the layout used by the ARM ARM. ptrace was handling 32-bit Thumb instructions by hooking the first halfword and manually checking the second half. This method would be broken by this patch so it is migrated to make use of the new Thumb-2 support. Signed-off-by: Jon Medhurst <tixy@yxit.co.uk> Acked-by: Nicolas Pitre <nicolas.pitre@linaro.org>
2011-07-01perf: Add context field to perf_eventAvi Kivity
The perf_event overflow handler does not receive any caller-derived argument, so many callers need to resort to looking up the perf_event in their local data structure. This is ugly and doesn't scale if a single callback services many perf_events. Fix by adding a context parameter to perf_event_create_kernel_counter() (and derived hardware breakpoints APIs) and storing it in the perf_event. The field can be accessed from the callback as event->overflow_handler_context. All callers are updated.

2011-07-01perf: Remove the nmi parameter from the swevent and overflow interfacePeter Zijlstra
The nmi parameter indicated if we could do wakeups from the current context, if not, we would set some state and self-IPI and let the resulting interrupt do the wakeup. For the various event classes: - hardware: nmi=0; PMI is in fact an NMI or we run irq_work_run from the PMI-tail (ARM etc.) - tracepoint: nmi=0; since tracepoint could be from NMI context. - software: nmi=[0,1]; some, like the schedule thing cannot perform wakeups, and hence need 0. As one can see, there is very little nmi=1 usage, and the down-side of not using it is that on some platforms some software events can have a jiffy delay in wakeup (when arch_irq_work_raise isn't implemented). The up-side however is that we can remove the nmi parameter and save a bunch of conditionals in fast paths.

2011-05-14ARM: 6883/1: ptrace: Migrate to regsets frameworkDave Martin
This patch migrates the implementation of the ptrace interface for the core integer registers, legacy FPA registers and VFP registers to use the regsets framework. As an added bonus, all this stuff gets included in coredumps at no extra cost. Without this patch, coredumps contained no VFP state. Third-party extension register sets (iwmmx, crunch) are not migrated by this patch, and continue to use the old implementation; these should be migratable without much extra work.

2011-04-25arm, hw_breakpoints: Fix racy access to ptrace breakpointsFrederic Weisbecker
While the tracer accesses ptrace breakpoints, the child task may concurrently exit due to a SIGKILL and thus release its breakpoints at the same time. We can then dereference some freed pointers. To fix this, hold a reference on the child breakpoints before manipulating them.

2011-02-26ARM: 6767/1: ptrace: fix register indexing in GETHBPREGS requestWill Deacon
The GETHBPREGS ptrace request incorrectly maps its index argument onto the thread's saved debug state when the index != 0. This has not yet been seen from userspace because GDB (the only user of this request) only reads from register 0. This patch fixes the indexing.

2011-02-23ARM: 6668/1: ptrace: remove single-step emulation codeWill Deacon
PTRACE_SINGLESTEP is a ptrace request designed to offer single-stepping support to userspace when the underlying architecture has hardware support for this operation. On ARM, we set arch_has_single_step() to 1 and attempt to emulate hardware single-stepping by disassembling the current instruction to determine the next pc and placing a software breakpoint on that location. Unfortunately this has the following problems: 1.) Only a subset of ARMv7 instructions are supported 2.) Thumb-2 is unsupported 3.) The code is not SMP safe We could try to fix this code, but it turns out that because of the above issues it is rarely used in practice. GDB, for example, uses PTRACE_POKETEXT and PTRACE_PEEKTEXT to manage breakpoints itself and does not require any kernel assistance. This patch removes the single-step emulation code from ptrace meaning that the PTRACE_SINGLESTEP request will return -EIO on ARM. Portable code must check the return value from a ptrace call and handle the failure gracefully.

interaction For debuggers to take advantage of the hw-breakpoint framework in the kernel, it is necessary to expose the API calls via a ptrace interface. This patch exposes the hardware breakpoints framework as a collection of virtual registers, accesible using PTRACE_SETHBPREGS and PTRACE_GETHBPREGS requests.

2010-03-12arm: use generic ptrace_resume codeChristoph Hellwig
Use the generic ptrace_resume code for PTRACE_SYSCALL, PTRACE_CONT, PTRACE_KILL and PTRACE_SINGLESTEP. This implies defining arch_has_single_step in <asm/ptrace.h> and implementing the user_enable_single_step and user_disable_single_step functions, which also causes the breakpoint information to be cleared on fork, which could be considered a bug fix. Also the TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE thread flag is now cleared on PTRACE_KILL which it previously wasn't and the single stepping disable only happens if the tracee process isn't a zombie yet, which is consistent with all architectures using the modern ptrace code.

2005-12-10[ARM] 3200/1: Singlestep over ARM BX and BLX instructions using ptrace fixNikola Valerjev
Patch from Nikola Valerjev Single stepping an application using ptrace() fails over ARM instructions BX and BLX. Steps to reproduce: Compile and link the following files main.c ----- void foo(); int main() { foo(); return 0; } foo.s ----- .text .globl foo foo: BX LR Using ptrace() functionality, run to main(), and start singlestepping. Singlestep over \"BX LR\" instruction won\'t transfer the control back to main, but run the code to completion. This problems seems to be in the function get_branch_address() in arch/arm/kernel/ptrace.c. The function doesn\'t seem to recognize BX and BLX instructions as branches. BX and BLX instructions can be used to convert from ARM to Thumb mode if the target address has the low bit set. However, they are also perfectly legal in the ARM only mode. Although other things in the kernel seem to indicate that only ARM mode is accepted (and not Thumb), many compilers will generate BX and BLX instructions even when generating ARM only code.

2005-11-07[PATCH] consolidate sys_ptrace()Christoph Hellwig
The sys_ptrace boilerplate code (everything outside the big switch statement for the arch-specific requests) is shared by most architectures. This patch moves it to kernel/ptrace.c and leaves the arch-specific code as arch_ptrace. Some architectures have a too different ptrace so we have to exclude them. They continue to keep their implementations. For sh64 I had to add a sh64_ptrace wrapper because it does some initialization on the first call. For um I removed an ifdefed SUBARCH_PTRACE_SPECIAL block, but SUBARCH_PTRACE_SPECIAL isn't defined anywhere in the tree.

We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it.
