PATCH 1/5 Allow arch-specific cleanup before breakpoint unregistration

Certain architectures (such as PowerPC Book III S) have a need to cleanup data-structures before the breakpoint is unregistered. This patch introduces an arch-specific hook in release_bp_slot() along with a weak definition in the form of a stub funciton.

PATCH 2/5 PPC64-HWBKPT: Implement hw-breakpoints for PowerPC BookIII S

In reply to a message not in the archive

Implement perf-events based hw-breakpoint interfaces for PowerPC Book III S processors. These interfaces help arbitrate requests from various users and schedules them as appropriate.

[Suggestions from Paul Mackerras <[email protected]> to
- emulate_step() all non-task bound breakpoints and single-step only the per-task breakpoints
- perform arch-specific cleanup before unregistration through arch_unregister_hw_breakpoint()
]

PATCH 3/5 PPC64-HWBKPT: Handle concurrent alignment interrupts

In reply to a message not in the archive

An alignment interrupt may intervene between a DSI/hw-breakpoint exception and the single-step exception. Enable the alignment interrupt (through modifications to emulate_single_step()) to notify the single-step exception handler for proper restoration of hw-breakpoints.

[The need to invoke single-step handler after alignment interrupt pointed out by Paul Mackerras <[email protected]>]

PATCH 4/5 PPC64-HWBKPT: Enable hw-breakpoints while handling intervening signals

In reply to a message not in the archive

A signal delivered between a hw_breakpoint_handler() and the single_step_dabr_instruction() will not have the breakpoint active during signal handling (since breakpoint will not be restored through single-stepping due to absence of MSR_SE bit on the signal frame). Enable breakpoints before signal delivery.

Restore hw-breakpoints if the user-context is altered in the signal handler.

[With inputs from Paul Mackerras <[email protected]> which helped identify a need to restore breakpoints before handling a signal delivered in certain cases]

PATCH 5/5 PPC64-HWBKPT: Discard extraneous interrupt due to accesses outside symbol length

In reply to a message not in the archive

Many a times, the requested breakpoint length can be less than the fixed breakpoint length i.e. 8 bytes supported by PowerPC BookIII S. This could lead to extraneous interrupts resulting in false breakpoint notifications. The patch below detects and discards such interrupts for non-ptrace requests (we don't want to change ptrace behaviour for fear of breaking compatability).

[Suggestions from Paul Mackerras <[email protected]> to add a new flag in 'struct arch_hw_breakpoint' to identify extraneous interrupts]
