* powerpc: Fix userspace build of ptrace.hSam Ravnborg2010-07-081-18/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Build of ptrace.h failed for assembly because it pulls in stdint.h. Use exportable types (__u32, __u64) to avoid the dependency on stdint.h.

* powerpc: Add kprobe-based event tracerMahesh Salgaonkar2010-04-071-0/+64
| | | | | | | | | This patch ports the kprobe-based event tracer to powerpc. This patch is based on x86 port. This brings powerpc on par with x86.

* ptrace: move user_enable_single_step & co prototypes to linux/ptrace.hChristoph Hellwig2010-03-121-7/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While in theory user_enable_single_step/user_disable_single_step/ user_enable_blockstep could also be provided as an inline or macro there's no good reason to do so, and having the prototype in one places keeps code size and confusion down. Roland said: The original thought there was that user_enable_single_step() et al might well be only an instruction or three on a sane machine (as if we have any of those!), and since there is only one call site inlining would be beneficial. But I agree that there is no strong reason to care about inlining it. As to the arch changes, there is only one thought I'd add to the record. It was always my thinking that for an arch where PTRACE_SINGLESTEP does text-modifying breakpoint insertion, user_enable_single_step() should not be provided. That is, arch_has_single_step()=>true means that there is an arch facility with "pure" semantics that does not have any unexpected side effects. Inserting a breakpoint might do very unexpected strange things in multi-threaded situations. Aside from that, it is a peculiar side effect that user_{enable,disable}_single_step() should cause COW de-sharing of text pages and so forth. For PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, all these peculiarities are the status quo ante for that arch, so having arch_ptrace() itself do those is one thing. But for building other things in the future, it is nicer to have a uniform "pure" semantics that arch-independent code can expect. OTOH, all such arch issues are really up to the arch maintainer. As of today, there is nothing but ptrace using user_enable_single_step() et al so it's a distinction without a practical difference. If/when there are other facilities that use user_enable_single_step() and might care, the affected arch's can revisit the question when someone cares about the quality of the arch support for said new facility.

* powerpc: Extended ptrace interfaceDave Kleikamp2010-02-171-0/+77
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | powerpc: Extended ptrace interface From: Dave Kleikamp <shaggy@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Based on patches originally written by Torez Smith. Add a new extended ptrace interface so that user-space has a single interface for powerpc, without having to know the specific layout of the debug registers.

* powerpc: Add PTRACE_SINGLEBLOCK supportRoland McGrath2009-06-091-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Reworked by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> This adds block-step support on powerpc, including a PTRACE_SINGLEBLOCK request for ptrace. The BookE implementation is tweaked to fire a single step after a block step in order to mimmic the server behaviour.

* remove __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_PTRACEChristoph Hellwig2008-11-301-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | All architectures now use the generic compat_sys_ptrace, as should every new architecture that needs 32bit compat (if we'll ever get another). Remove the now superflous __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_PTRACE define, and also kill a comment about __ARCH_SYS_PTRACE that was added after __ARCH_SYS_PTRACE was already gone.

* powerpc: Move include files to arch/powerpc/include/asmStephen Rothwell2008-08-041-0/+293
from include/asm-powerpc. This is the result of a mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly. Of the latter only one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
