When the state names got added a script was used to add the extra argument
to the calls. The script basically converted the state constant to a
string, but the cleanup to convert these strings into meaningful ones did
not happen.

Replace all the useless strings with 'subsys/xxx/yyy:state' strings which
are used in all the other places already.

uprobe is registered at break_hook with a unique ESR code. So, when a
TRAP_BRKPT occurs, call_break_hook checks if it was for uprobe. If not,
then send a SIGTRAP to user.

uprobe registers a handler at step_hook. So, single_step_handler now
checks for user mode as well if there is a valid hook.

<id>urn:sha1:adf7589997927b1d84a5d003027b866bbef61ef2</id>
<content type='text'>
A while back we added {read,write}_sysreg accessors to handle accesses
to system registers, without the usual boilerplate asm volatile,
temporary variable, etc.

This patch makes use of these across arm64 to make code shorter and
clearer. For sequences with a trailing ISB, the existing isb() macro is
also used so that asm blocks can be removed entirely.

A few uses of inline assembly for msr/mrs are left as-is. Those
manipulating sp_el0 for the current thread_info value have special
clobber requiremends.

<content type='text'>
Single-step traps to userspace (e.g. via ptrace) are expected to use
the TRAP_TRACE for the si_code field of the siginfo, as opposed to
TRAP_HWBRPT that we report currently.

Fix the reported value, which has no effect on existing and legacy
builds of GDB.

The arm64 debug monitor initialisation code uses a CPU hotplug notifier
to clear the OS lock when CPUs come online.

This patch converts the code to the new hotplug mechanism.

<title>arm64: debug: avoid resetting stepping state machine when TIF_SINGLESTEP</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3a402a709500c5a3faca2111668c33d96555e35a</id>
<content type='text'>
When TIF_SINGLESTEP is set for a task, the single-step state machine is
enabled and we must take care not to reset it to the active-not-pending
state if it is already in the active-pending state.

Unfortunately, that's exactly what user_enable_single_step does, by
unconditionally setting the SS bit in the SPSR for the current task.
This causes failures in the GDB testsuite, where GDB ends up missing
expected step traps if the instruction being stepped generates another
trap, e.g. PTRACE_EVENT_FORK from an SVC instruction.

This patch fixes the problem by preserving the current state of the
stepping state machine when TIF_SINGLESTEP is set on the current thread.

<title>arm64: debug: unmask PSTATE.D earlier</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2ce39ad15182604beb6c8fa8bed5e46b59fd1082</id>
<content type='text'>
Clearing PSTATE.D is one of the requirements for generating a debug
exception. The arm64 booting protocol requires that PSTATE.D is set,
since many of the debug registers (for example, the hw_breakpoint
registers) are UNKNOWN out of reset and could potentially generate
spurious, fatal debug exceptions in early boot code if PSTATE.D was
clear. Once the debug registers have been safely initialised, PSTATE.D
is cleared, however this is currently broken for two reasons:

(1) The boot CPU clears PSTATE.D in a postcore_initcall and secondary
    CPUs clear PSTATE.D in secondary_start_kernel. Since the initcall
    runs after SMP (and the scheduler) have been initialised, there is
    no guarantee that it is actually running on the boot CPU. In this
    case, the boot CPU is left with PSTATE.D set and is not capable of
    generating debug exceptions.

(2) In a preemptible kernel, we may explicitly schedule on the IRQ
    return path to EL1. If an IRQ occurs with PSTATE.D set in the idle
    thread, then we may schedule the kthread_init thread, run the
    postcore_initcall to clear PSTATE.D and then context switch back
    to the idle thread before returning from the IRQ. The exception
    return path will then restore PSTATE.D from the stack, and set it
    again.

This patch fixes the problem by moving the clearing of PSTATE.D earlier
to proc.S. This has the desirable effect of clearing it in one place for
all CPUs, long before we have to worry about the scheduler or any
exception handling. We ensure that the previous reset of MDSCR_EL1 has
completed before unmasking the exception, so that any spurious
exceptions resulting from UNKNOWN debug registers are not generated.

Without this patch applied, the kprobes selftests have been seen to fail
under KVM, where we end up attempting to step the OOL instruction buffer
with PSTATE.D set and therefore fail to complete the step.
