Currently, on 8641D, which doesn't set CONFIG_HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT
we get the following splat:BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: login/1382

flush_thread
--> set_debug_reg_defaults

--> __get_cpu_varSince preemption is enabled in the cleanup of flush thread, and
there is no need to disable it, introduce the distinction between
set_breakpoint and __set_breakpoint, leaving only the flush_thread

None of these files are actually using any __init type directives
and hence don't need to include . Most are just a
left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to
code getting copied from one driver to the next.The one instance where we add an include for init.h covers off
a case where that file was implicitly getting it from another
header which itself didn't need it.Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

The Data Address Watchpoint Register (DAWR) on POWER8 can take a 512
byte range but this range must not cross a 512 byte boundary.Unfortunately we were off by one when calculating the end of the region,
hence we were not allowing some breakpoint regions which were actually
valid. This fixes this error.Signed-off-by: Michael Neuling

In 9422de3 "powerpc: Hardware breakpoints rewrite to handle non DABR breakpoint
registers" we changed the way we mark extraneous irqs with this:- info->extraneous_interrupt = !((bp->attr.bp_addr attr.bp_addr < bp->attr.bp_len));
+ if (!((bp->attr.bp_addr attr.bp_addr < bp->attr.bp_len)))
+ info->type |= HW_BRK_TYPE_EXTRANEOUS_IRQ;Unfortunately this is bogus as it never clears extraneous IRQ if it's already
set.This correctly clears extraneous IRQ before possibly setting it.

Change the hardware breakpoint code so that we can support wider ranged
breakpoints.This means both ptrace and perf hardware breakpoints can use upto 512 byte long
breakpoints when using the DAWR and only 8 byte when using the DABR.Signed-off-by: Michael 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.Signed-off-by: Michael Neuling

Currently we mark the DABRX to interrupt on all matches
(hypervisor/kernel/user and then filter in software. We can be a lot
smarter now that we can set the DABRX dynamically.This sets the DABRX based on the flags passed by the user.

Rework set_dabr to take a DABRX value as well.
Both the pseries and PS3 hypervisors do some checks on the DABRX
values that are passed in the hcall. This patch stops bogus values
from being passed to hypervisor. Also, in the case where we are
clearing the breakpoint, where DABR and DABRX are zero, we modify the
DABRX value to make it valid so that the hcall won't fail.Signed-off-by: Michael Neuling

None of the files touched here are modules, and they are not
exporting any symbols either -- so there is no need to be including
the module.h. Builds of all the files remains successful.Even kernel/module.c does not need to include it, since it includes
linux/moduleloader.h instead.Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

At present, hw_breakpoint_slots() returns 1 regardless of what
type of breakpoint is specified in the type argument. Since we
don't define CONFIG_HAVE_MIXED_BREAKPOINTS_REGS, there are
separate values for TYPE_INST and TYPE_DATA, and hw_breakpoint_slots()
returns 1 for both, effectively advertising instruction breakpoint
support which doesn't exist.This fixes it by making hw_breakpoint_slots return 1 for TYPE_DATA
and 0 for TYPE_INST. This moves hw_breakpoint_slots() from the
powerpc hw_breakpoint.h to hw_breakpoint.c because the definitions
of TYPE_INST and TYPE_DATA aren't available in .
They are defined in but we can't include
that header in , and nor can we rely on
being included before .
Since hw_breakpoint_slots() is only called at boot time, there is
no performance impact from making it a real function rather than
a static inline.Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

The code we had to clear the MSR_SE bit was not doing anything because
the caller (ultimately single_step_exception() in traps.c) had already
cleared. Instead of trying to leave MSR_SE set if the TIF_SINGLESTEP
flag is set (which indicates that the process is being single-stepped
by ptrace), we instead return NOTIFY_DONE in that case, which means
the caller will generate a SIGTRAP for the process.Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

Many a times, the requested breakpoint length can be less than the
fixed breakpoint length i.e. 8 bytes supported by PowerPC 64-bit
server (Book III S) processors. This could lead to extraneous
interrupts resulting in false breakpoint notifications. This
detects and discards such interrupts for non-ptrace requests.
We don't change ptrace behaviour to avoid breaking compatability.[Suggestion from Paul Mackerras to add a new flag in
'struct arch_hw_breakpoint' to identify extraneous interrupts]Signed-off-by: K.Prasad

A signal delivered between a hw_breakpoint_handler() and the
single_step_dabr_instruction() will not have the breakpoint active
while the signal handler is running -- the signal delivery will
set up a new MSR value which will not have MSR_SE set, so we
won't get the signal step interrupt until and unless the signal
handler returns (which it may never do).To fix this, we restore the breakpoint when delivering a signal --
we clear the MSR_SE bit and set the DABR again. If the signal
handler returns, the DABR interrupt will occur again when the
instruction that we were originally trying to single-step gets
re-executed.[Paul Mackerras pointed out the need to do this.]

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 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()
