* x86: Add counter when debug stack is used with interrupts enabledSteven Rostedt2011-12-211-0/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mathieu Desnoyers pointed out a case that can cause issues with NMIs running on the debug stack: int3 -> interrupt -> NMI -> int3 Because the interrupt changes the stack, the NMI will not see that it preempted the debug stack. Looking deeper at this case, interrupts only happen when the int3 is from userspace or in an a location in the exception table (fixup). userspace -> int3 -> interurpt -> NMI -> int3 All other int3s that happen in the kernel should be processed without ever enabling interrupts, as the do_trap() call will panic the kernel if it is called to process any other location within the kernel. Adding a counter around the sections that enable interrupts while using the debug stack allows the NMI to also check that case. If the NMI sees that it either interrupted a task using the debug stack or the debug counter is non-zero, then it will have to change the IDT table to make the int3 not change stacks (which will corrupt the stack if it does). Note, I had to move the debug_usage functions out of processor.h and into debugreg.h because of the static inlined functions to inc and dec the debug_usage counter. __get_cpu_var() requires smp.h which includes processor.h, and would fail to build.

* x86: Rename global percpu symbol dr7 to cpu_dr7Tejun Heo2009-11-251-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Percpu symbols now occupy the same namespace as other global symbols and as such short global symbols without subsystem prefix tend to collide with local variables. dr7 percpu variable used by x86 was hit by this. Rename it to cpu_dr7. The rename also makes it more consistent with its fellow cpu_debugreg percpu variable.

* hw-breakpoints: Wrap in the KVM breakpoint active state checkFrederic Weisbecker2009-11-101-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Wrap in the cpu dr7 check that tells if we have active breakpoints that need to be restored in the cpu. This wrapper makes the check more self-explainable and also reusable for any further other uses.

* hw-breakpoints: Rewrite the hw-breakpoints layer on top of perf eventsFrederic Weisbecker2009-11-081-6/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch rebase the implementation of the breakpoints API on top of perf events instances. Each breakpoints are now perf events that handle the register scheduling, thread/cpu attachment, etc.. The new layering is now made as follows: ptrace kgdb ftrace perf syscall \ | / / \ | / / / Core breakpoint API / / | / | / Breakpoints perf events | | Breakpoints PMU ---- Debug Register constraints handling (Part of core breakpoint API) | | Hardware debug registers Reasons of this rewrite: - Use the centralized/optimized pmu registers scheduling, implying an easier arch integration - More powerful register handling: perf attributes (pinned/flexible events, exclusive/non-exclusive, tunable period, etc...) Impact: - New perf ABI: the hardware breakpoints counters - Ptrace breakpoints setting remains tricky and still needs some per thread breakpoints references. Todo (in the order): - Support breakpoints perf counter events for perf tools (ie: implement perf_bpcounter_event()) - Support from perf tools Changes in v2: - Follow the perf "event " rename - The ptrace regression have been fixed (ptrace breakpoint perf events weren't released when a task ended) - Drop the struct hw_breakpoint and store generic fields in perf_event_attr. - Separate core and arch specific headers, drop asm-generic/hw_breakpoint.h and create linux/hw_breakpoint.h - Use new generic len/type for breakpoint - Handle off case: when breakpoints api is not supported by an arch Changes in v3: - Fix broken CONFIG_KVM, we need to propagate the breakpoint api changes to kvm when we exit the guest and restore the bp registers to the host. Changes in v4: - Drop the hw_breakpoint_restore() stub as it is only used by KVM - EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL hw_breakpoint_restore() as KVM can be built as a module - Restore the breakpoints unconditionally on kvm guest exit: TIF_DEBUG_THREAD doesn't anymore cover every cases of running breakpoints and vcpu->arch.switch_db_regs might not always be set when the guest used debug registers. (Waiting for a reliable optimization) Changes in v5: - Split-up the asm-generic/hw-breakpoint.h moving to linux/hw_breakpoint.h into a separate patch - Optimize the breakpoints restoring while switching from kvm guest to host. We only want to restore the state if we have active breakpoints to the host, otherwise we don't care about messed-up address registers. - Add asm/hw_breakpoint.h to Kbuild - Fix bad breakpoint type in trace_selftest.c Changes in v6: - Fix wrong header inclusion in trace.h (triggered a build error with CONFIG_FTRACE_SELFTEST Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Prasad <prasad@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@web.de> Cc: Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@gmail.com> Cc: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
* hw-breakpoints: prepare the code for Hardware Breakpoint interfacesK.Prasad2009-06-021-0/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The generic hardware breakpoint interface provides an abstraction of hardware breakpoints in front of specific arch implementations for both kernel and user side breakpoints. This includes execution breakpoints and read/write breakpoints, also known as "watchpoints". This patch introduces header files containing constants, structure definitions and declaration of functions used by the hardware breakpoint core and x86 specific code. It also introduces an array based storage for the debug-register values in 'struct thread_struct', while modifying all users of debugreg<n> member in the structure.
