MIPS: kprobes: flush_insn_slot should flush only if probe initialised

2018-04-13T17:50:19+00:00

[ Upstream commit 698b851073ddf5a894910d63ca04605e0473414e ] When ftrace is used with kprobes, it is possible for a kprobe to contain an invalid location (ie. only initialised to 0 and not to a specific location in the code). Trying to perform a cache flush on such location leads to a crash r4k_flush_icache_range(). Fixes: c1bf207d6ee1 ("MIPS: kprobe: Add support.")

MIPS Kprobes: Support branch instructions probing

2011-12-07T22:04:03+00:00

This patch provides support for kprobes on branch instructions. The branch instruction at the probed address is actually emulated and not executed out-of-line like other normal instructions. Instead the delay-slot instruction is copied and single stepped out of line. At the time of probe hit, the original branch instruction is evaluated and the target cp0_epc is computed similar to compute_retrun_epc(). It is also checked if the delay slot instruction can be skipped, which is true if there is a NOP in delay slot or branch is taken in case of branch likely instructions. Once the delay slot instruction is single stepped the normal execution resume with the cp0_epc updated the earlier computed cp0_epc as per the branch instructions.

MIPS: kprobe: Add support.

This patch is based on previous work by Sony and Himanshu Chauhan. I have done some cleanup and implemented JProbes and KRETPROBES. The KRETPROBES part is pretty much copied verbatim from powerpc. A possible future enhance might be to factor out the common code.
