2013-07-09ptrace/powerpc: revert "hw_breakpoints: Fix racy access to ptrace breakpoints"Oleg Nesterov
This reverts commit 07fa7a0a8a58 ("hw_breakpoints: Fix racy access to ptrace breakpoints") and removes ptrace_get/put_breakpoints() added by other commits. The patch was fine but we can no longer race with SIGKILL after commit 9899d11f6544 ("ptrace: ensure arch_ptrace/ptrace_request can never race with SIGKILL"), the __TASK_TRACED tracee can't be woken up and ->ptrace_bps[] can't go away.

2013-06-25powerpc/hw_brk: Fix setting of length for exact mode breakpointsMichael Neuling
The smallest match region for both the DABR and DAWR is 8 bytes, so the kernel needs to filter matches when users want to look at regions smaller than this. Currently we set the length of PPC_BREAKPOINT_MODE_EXACT breakpoints to 8. This is wrong as in exact mode we should only match on 1 address, hence the length should be 1. This ensures that the kernel will filter out any exact mode hardware breakpoint matches on any addresses other than the requested one.

2013-04-18powerpc/ptrace: Add DAWR debug feature info for userspaceMichael Neuling
This adds new debug feature information so that the DAWR can be identified by userspace tools like GDB. Unfortunately the DAWR doesn't sit nicely into the current description that ptrace provides to userspace via struct ppc_debug_info. It doesn't allow for specifying that only some ranges are possible or even the end alignment constraints (DAWR only allows 512 byte wide ranges which can't cross a 512 byte boundary). After talking to Edjunior Machado (GDB ppc developer), it was decided this was the best approach. Just mark it as debug feature DAWR and tools like GDB can internally decide the constraints.

Currently ptrace_get_reg returns error as a value what make impossible to tell whether it is a correct value or error code.

2013-01-15powerpc: Add DSCR support to ptraceAlexey Kardashevskiy
The DSCR (aka Data Stream Control Register) is supported on some server PowerPC chips and allow some control over the prefetch of data streams. The kernel already supports DSCR value per thread but there is also a need in a ability to change it from an external process for the specific pid. The patch adds new register index PT_DSCR (index=44) which can be set/get by: ptrace(PTRACE_POKEUSER, traced_process, PT_DSCR << 3, dscr); dscr = ptrace(PTRACE_PEEKUSER, traced_process, PT_DSCR << 3, NULL); The patch does not increase PT_REGS_COUNT as the pt_regs struct has not been changed.

2013-01-10powerpc: Hardware breakpoints rewrite to handle non DABR breakpoint registersMichael Neuling
This is a rewrite so that we don't assume we are using the DABR throughout the code. We now use the arch_hw_breakpoint to store the breakpoint in a generic manner in the thread_struct, rather than storing the raw DABR value. The ptrace GET/SET_DEBUGREG interface currently passes the raw DABR in from userspace. We keep this functionality, so that future changes (like the POWER8 DAWR), will still fake the DABR to userspace.

2012-11-15powerpc/ptrace: Enable hardware breakpoint upon re-registeringAravinda Prasad
On powerpc, ptrace will disable hardware breakpoint request once the breakpoint is hit. It is the responsibility of the caller to set it again. However, when the caller sets the hardware breakpoint again using ptrace(PTRACE_SET_DEBUGREG, child_pid, 0, addr), the hardware breakpoint is not enabled. While gdb's approach is to unregister and re-register the hardware breakpoint every time the breakpoint is hit - which is working fine, this could affect other programs trying to re-register hardware breakpoint without unregistering. This patch enables hardware breakpoint if the caller is re-registering.

2012-01-17audit: inline audit_syscall_entry to reduce burden on archsEric Paris
Every arch calls: if (unlikely(current->audit_context)) audit_syscall_entry() which requires knowledge about audit (the existance of audit_context) in the arch code. Just do it all in static inline in audit.h so that arch's can remain blissfully ignorant. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2012-01-17Audit: push audit success and retcode into arch ptrace.hEric Paris
The audit system previously expected arches calling to audit_syscall_exit to supply as arguments if the syscall was a success and what the return code was. Audit also provides a helper AUDITSC_RESULT which was supposed to simplify things by converting from negative retcodes to an audit internal magic value stating success or failure. This helper was wrong and could indicate that a valid pointer returned to userspace was a failed syscall. The fix is to fix the layering foolishness. We now pass audit_syscall_exit a struct pt_reg and it in turns calls back into arch code to collect the return value and to determine if the syscall was a success or failure. We also define a generic is_syscall_success() macro which determines success/failure based on if the value is < -MAX_ERRNO. This works for arches like x86 which do not use a separate mechanism to indicate syscall failure. We make both the is_syscall_success() and regs_return_value() static inlines instead of macros. The reason is because the audit function must take a void* for the regs. (uml calls theirs struct uml_pt_regs instead of just struct pt_regs so audit_syscall_exit can't take a struct pt_regs). Since the audit function takes a void* we need to use static inlines to cast it back to the arch correct structure to dereference it. The other major change is that on some arches, like ia64, MIPS and ppc, we change regs_return_value() to give us the negative value on syscall failure. THE only other user of this macro, kretprobe_example.c, won't notice and it makes the value signed consistently for the audit functions across all archs. In arch/sh/kernel/ptrace_64.c I see that we were using regs[9] in the old audit code as the return value. But the ptrace_64.h code defined the macro regs_return_value() as regs[3]. I have no idea which one is correct, but this patch now uses the regs_return_value() function, so it now uses regs[3]. For powerpc we previously used regs->result but now use the regs_return_value() function which uses regs->gprs[3]. regs->gprs[3] is always positive so the regs_return_value(), much like ia64 makes it negative before calling the audit code when appropriate.

gcc (rightfully) complains that we are accessing beyond the end of the fpr array (we do, to access the fpscr). The only sane thing to do (whether anything in that code can be called remotely sane is debatable) is to special case fpscr and handle it as a separate statement. I initially tried to do it it by making the array access conditional to index < PT_FPSCR and using a 3rd else leg but for some reason gcc was unable to understand it and still spewed the warning.

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.

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.

This patch implements the raw syscall tracepoints on PowerPC and exports them for ftrace syscalls to use. To minimise reworking existing code, I slightly re-ordered the thread info flags such that the new TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT bit would still fit within the 16 bits of the andi. instruction's UI field. The instructions in question are in /arch/powerpc/kernel/entry_{32,64}.S to and the _TIF_SYSCALL_T_OR_A with the thread flags to see if system call tracing is enabled.

2011-03-21powerpc/ptrace: Remove BUG_ON when full register set not availableMike Wolf
In some cases during a threaded core dump not all the threads will have a full register set. This happens when the signal causing the core dump races with a thread exiting. The race happens when the exiting thread has entered the kernel for the last time before the signal arrives, but doesn't get far enough through the exit code to avoid being included in the core dump. So we get a thread included in the core dump which is never going to go out to userspace again and only has a partial register set recorded Normally we would catch each thread as it is about to go into userspace and capture the full register set then. However, this exiting thread is never going to go out to userspace again, so we have no way to capture its full register set. It doesn't really matter, though, as this is a thread which is effectively already dead. So instead of hitting a BUG() in this case (a really bad choice of action in the first place), we use a poison value for the register values.

2010-06-22powerpc, hw_breakpoints: Implement hw_breakpoints for 64-bit server processorsK.Prasad
Implement perf-events based hw-breakpoint interfaces for PowerPC 64-bit server (Book III S) processors. This allows access to a given location to be used as an event that can be counted or profiled by the perf_events subsystem. This is done using the DABR (data breakpoint register), which can also be used for process debugging via ptrace. When perf_event hw_breakpoint support is configured in, the perf_event subsystem manages the DABR and arbitrates access to it, and ptrace then creates a perf_event when it is requested to set a data breakpoint. [Adopted suggestions from Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> to - emulate_step() all system-wide breakpoints and single-step only the per-task breakpoints - perform arch-specific cleanup before unregistration through arch_unregister_hw_breakpoint() ] Signed-off-by: K.Prasad <prasad@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2010-03-09powerpc/booke: Fix breakpoint/watchpoint one-shot behaviorDave Kleikamp
Another fix for the extended ptrace patches in the -next tree. The handling of breakpoints and watchpoints is inconsistent. When a breakpoint or watchpoint is hit, the interrupt handler is clearing the proper bits in the dbcr* registers, but leaving the dac* and iac* registers alone. The ptrace code to delete the break/watchpoints checks the dac* and iac* registers for zero to determine if they are enabled. Instead, they should check the dbcr* bits.

powerpc/booke: Introduce new CONFIG options for advanced debug registers From: Dave Kleikamp <shaggy@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Introduce new config options to simplify the ifdefs pertaining to the advanced debug registers for booke and 40x processors: CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_REGS - boolean: true for dac-based processors CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_IACS - number of IAC registers CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_DACS - number of DAC registers CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_DVCS - number of DVC registers CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_DAC_RANGE - DAC ranges supported Beginning conservatively, since I only have the facilities to test 440 hardware. I believe all 40x and booke platforms support at least 2 IAC and 2 DAC registers. For 440, 4 IAC and 2 DVC registers are enabled, as well as the DAC ranges.

2009-07-15powerpc: Fix booke user_disable_single_step()Dave Kleikamp
On booke processors, gdb is seeing spurious SIGTRAPs when setting a watchpoint. user_disable_single_step() simply quits when the DAC is non-zero. It should be clearing the DBCR0_IC and DBCR0_BT bits from the dbcr0 register and TIF_SINGLESTEP from the thread flag.
