LoongArch: Use UAPI types in ptrace UAPI header

2025-11-20T06:42:05+00:00

The kernel UAPI headers already contain fixed-width integer types, there is no need to rely on the libc types. There may not be a libc available or the libc may not provides the , like for example on nolibc. This also aligns the header with the rest of the LoongArch UAPI headers.

LoongArch: Increase COMMAND_LINE_SIZE up to 4096

2025-08-20T14:23:16+00:00

The default COMMAND_LINE_SIZE of 512, inherited from asm-generic, is too small for modern use cases. For example, kdump configurations or extensive debugging parameters can easily exceed this limit. Therefore, increase the command line size to 4096 bytes, aligning LoongArch with the MIPS architecture. This change follows a broader trend among architectures to raise this limit to support modern needs; for instance, PowerPC increased its value for similar reasons in the commit a5980d064fe2 ("powerpc: Bump COMMAND_LINE_SIZE to 2048"). Similar to the change made for RISC-V in the commit 61fc1ee8be26 ("riscv: Bump COMMAND_LINE_SIZE value to 1024"), this is considered a safe change. The broader kernel community has reached a consensus that modifying COMMAND_LINE_SIZE from UAPI headers does not constitute a uABI breakage, as well-behaved userspace applications should not rely on this macro.

LoongArch: Extend the maximum number of watchpoints

2025-01-26T13:49:59+00:00

The maximum number of load/store watchpoints and fetch instruction watchpoints is 14 each according to LoongArch Reference Manual, so extend the maximum number of watchpoints from 8 to 14 for ptrace. By the way, just simply change 8 to 14 for the definition in struct user_watch_state at the beginning, but it may corrupt uapi, then add a new struct user_watch_state_v2 directly. As far as I can tell, the only users for this struct in the userspace are GDB and LLDB, there are no any problems of software compatibility between the application and kernel according to the analysis. The compatibility problem has been considered while developing and testing. When the applications in the userspace get watchpoint state, the length will be specified which is no bigger than the sizeof struct user_watch_state or user_watch_state_v2, the actual length is assigned as the minimal value of the application and kernel in the generic code of ptrace: kernel/ptrace.c: ptrace_regset(): kiov->iov_len = min(kiov->iov_len, (__kernel_size_t) (regset->n * regset->size)); if (req == PTRACE_GETREGSET) return copy_regset_to_user(task, view, regset_no, 0, kiov->iov_len, kiov->iov_base); else return copy_regset_from_user(task, view, regset_no, 0, kiov->iov_len, kiov->iov_base); For example, there are four kind of combinations, all of them work well. (1) "older kernel + older gdb", the actual length is 8+(8+8+4+4)*8=200; (2) "newer kernel + newer gdb", the actual length is 8+(8+8+4+4)*14=344; (3) "older kernel + newer gdb", the actual length is 8+(8+8+4+4)*8=200; (4) "newer kernel + older gdb", the actual length is 8+(8+8+4+4)*8=200.

LoongArch: KVM: Add hypercall service support for usermode VMM

2025-01-13T13:37:17+00:00

Some VMMs provides special hypercall service in usermode, KVM should not handle the usermode hypercall service, thus pass it to usermode, let the usermode VMM handle it. Here a new code KVM_HCALL_CODE_USER_SERVICE is added for the user-mode hypercall service, KVM lets all six registers visible to usermode VMM. Signed-off-by: Bibo Mao Signed-off-by: Huacai Chen
