elf_read_implies_exec() is a kernel-only feature as the second parameter is a
constant that isn't exported to userspace. Not only that, but the
arch-specific overrides are not exported either.So hide the macro from userspace.
Similarly, struct file should not be predeclared in userspace.

For a ERESTARTNOHAND/ERESTARTSYS/ERESTARTNOINTR restarting system call
do_signal will prepare the restart of the system call with a rewind of
the PSW before calling get_signal_to_deliver (where the debugger might
take control). For A ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK restarting system call
do_signal will set -EINTR as return code.
There are two issues with this approach:
1) strace never sees ERESTARTNOHAND, ERESTARTSYS, ERESTARTNOINTR or
ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK as the rewinding already took place or the
return code has been changed to -EINTR
2) if get_signal_to_deliver does not return with a signal to deliver
the restart via the repeat of the svc instruction is left in place.
This opens a race if another signal is made pending before the
system call instruction can be reexecuted. The original system call
will be restarted even if the second signal would have ended the
system call with -EINTR.These two issues can be solved by dropping the early rewind of the
system call before get_signal_to_deliver has been called and by using
the TIF_RESTART_SVC magic to do the restart if no signal has to be
delivered. The only situation where the system call restart via the
repeat of the svc instruction is appropriate is when a SA_RESTART
signal is delivered to user space.Unfortunately this breaks inferior calls by the debugger again. The
system call number and the length of the system call instruction is
lost over the inferior call and user space will see ERESTARTNOHAND/
ERESTARTSYS/ERESTARTNOINTR/ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK. To correct this a
new ptrace interface is added to save/restore the system call number
and system call instruction length.Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

Copy the last breaking event address from the lowcore to a new
field in the thread_struct on each system entry. Add a new
ptrace request PTRACE_GET_LAST_BREAK and a new utrace regset
REGSET_LAST_BREAK to query the last breaking event.This is useful for debugging wild branches in user space code.

The current ELF dumper implementation can produce broken corefiles if
program headers exceed 65535. This number is determined by the number of
vmas which the process have. In particular, some extreme programs may use
more than 65535 vmas. (If you google max_map_count, you can find some
users facing this problem.) This kind of program never be able to generate
correct coredumps.This patch implements ``extended numbering'' that uses sh_info field of
the first section header instead of e_phnum field in order to represent
upto 4294967295 vmas.This is supported by
AMD64-ABI(http://www.x86-64.org/documentation.html) and
Solaris(http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-1984/).

elf_core_dump() and elf_fdpic_core_dump() use #ifdef and the corresponding
macro for hiding _multiline_ logics in functions. This patch removes
#ifdef and replaces ELF_CORE_EXTRA_* by corresponding functions. For
architectures not implemeonting ELF_CORE_EXTRA_*, we use weak functions in
order to reduce a range of modification.This cleanup is for my next patches, but I think this cleanup itself is
worth doing regardless of my firnal purpose.Signed-off-by: Daisuke HATAYAMA

S390 ELF core dump currently only contains the PSW, the general purpose
registers, the floating point registers and the access registers stored
in PRSTATUS/PRFPREG note sections.
For analyzing s390 kernel problems additional registers are important.
In order to be able to include these registers to a kernel ELF core dump,
this patch adds the following five new note sections to elf.h:* NT_S390_TIMER: S390 timer register
* NT_S390_TODCMP: S390 TOD comparator register
* NT_S390_TODPREG: S390 TOD programmable register
* NT_S390_CTRS: S390 control registers
* NT_S390_PREFIX: S390 prefix registerThe new note sections have been already defined and accepted in the upstream
binutils package.Signed-off-by: Michael Holzheu

Generic support for PTRACE_GETREGSET/PTRACE_SETREGSET commands which
export the regsets supported by each architecture using the correponding
NT_* types. These NT_* types are already part of the userland ABI, used
in representing the architecture specific register sets as different NOTES
in an ELF core file.'addr' parameter for the ptrace system call encode the REGSET type (using
the corresppnding NT_* type) and the 'data' parameter points to the
struct iovec having the user buffer and the length of that buffer.struct iovec iov = { buf, len};
ret = ptrace(PTRACE_GETREGSET/PTRACE_SETREGSET, pid, NT_XXX_TYPE, &iov);On successful completion, iov.len will be updated by the kernel specifying
how much the kernel has written/read to/from the user's iov.buf.x86 extended state registers are primarily exported using this interface.

Add the xstate regset support which helps extend the kernel ptrace and the
core-dump interfaces to support AVX state etc.This regset interface is designed to support all the future state that gets
supported using xsave/xrstor infrastructure.Looking at the memory layout saved by "xsave", one can't say which state
is represented in the memory layout. This is because if a particular state is
in init state, in the xsave hdr it can be represented by bit '0'. And hence
we can't really say by the xsave header wether a state is in init state or
the state is not saved in the memory layout.And hence the xsave memory layout available through this regset
interface uses SW usable bytes [464..511] to convey what state is represented
in the memory layout.First 8 bytes of the sw_usable_bytes[464..467] will be set to OS enabled xstate
mask(which is same as the 64bit mask returned by the xgetbv's xCR0).The note NT_X86_XSTATE represents the extended state information in the
core file, using the above mentioned memory layout.Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha

This makes the SPE register data appear in ELF core dumps, using the
new n_type value NT_PPC_SPE (0x101). This new note type is not used
by any consumers of core files yet, but support can be added. I don't
even have any hardware with SPE capabilities, so I've never seen such
a note. But this demonstrates how simple it is to export register
information in core dumps when the user_regset style is used for the
low-level code.Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath

it dumps the Altivec/VMX registers (VR[0] - VR[31], VSCR and VRSAVE) in the
same format as the ptrace get_vrregs(), and add the appropriate glue
typedef and #defines to make it work.A new note type of NT_PPC_VMX was chosen to be 0x100 (arbitrarily) because
it allows the low range values to be used for more generic purposes and
0x100 seems an adequate starting point for PowerPC extensions.Signed-off-by: Mark Nelson

To start with, arch_notes_size() etc. is a little too ambiguous a name for
my liking, so change the function names to be more explicit.Calling through macros is ugly, especially with hidden parameters, so don't
do that, call the routines directly.Use ARCH_HAVE_EXTRA_ELF_NOTES as the only flag, and based on it decide
whether we want the extern declarations or the empty versions.Since we have empty routines, actually use them in the coredump code to
save a few #ifdefs.We want to change the handling of foffset so that the write routine updates
foffset as it goes, instead of using file->f_pos (so that writing to a pipe
works). So pass foffset to the write routine, and for now just set it to
file->f_pos at the end of writing.It should also be possible for the write routine to fail, so change it to
return int and treat a non-zero return as failure.Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

Some versions of libc can't deal with a VDSO which doesn't have its
ELF headers matching its mapped address. COMPAT_VDSO maps the VDSO at
a specific system-wide fixed address. Previously this was all done at
build time, on the grounds that the fixed VDSO address is always at
the top of the address space. However, a hypervisor may reserve some
of that address space, pushing the fixmap address down.This patch does the adjustment dynamically at runtime, depending on
the runtime location of the VDSO fixmap.[ Patch has been through several hands: Jan Beulich wrote the orignal
version; Zach reworked it, and Jeremy converted it to relocate phdrs
as well as sections. ]Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge

This patch adds SPU elf notes to the coredump. It creates a separate note
for each of /regs, /fpcr, /lslr, /decr, /decr_status, /mem, /signal1,
/signal1_type, /signal2, /signal2_type, /event_mask, /event_status,
/mbox_info, /ibox_info, /wbox_info, /dma_info, /proxydma_info, /object-id.A new macro, ARCH_HAVE_EXTRA_NOTES, was created for architectures to
specify they have extra elf core notes.A new macro, ELF_CORE_EXTRA_NOTES_SIZE, was created so the size of the
additional notes could be calculated and added to the notes phdr entry.A new macro, ELF_CORE_WRITE_EXTRA_NOTES, was created so the new notes
would be written after the existing notes.The SPU coredump code resides in spufs. Stub functions are provided in the
kernel which are hooked into the spufs code which does the actual work via
register_arch_coredump_calls().A new set of __spufs__read/get() functions was provided to allow the
coredump code to read from the spufs files without having to lock the
SPU context for each file read from.Cc:

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,

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.Let it rip!
