2016-07-07ARM: save and reset the address limit when entering an exceptionRussell King1-1/+1
When we enter an exception, the current address limit should not apply to the exception context: if the exception context wishes to access kernel space via the user accessors (eg, perf code), it must explicitly request such access.

2014-07-18ARM: 8070/1: Introduce arm_get_current_stack_frame()Nikolay Borisov1-0/+6
Currently there are numerous places where "struct pt_regs" are used to populate "struct stackframe", however all of those location do not consider the situation where the kernel might be compiled in THUMB2 mode, in which case the framepointer member of pt_regs become ARM_r7 instead of ARM_fp (r11). Document this idiosyncracy in the definition of "struct stackframe" The easiest solution is to introduce a new function (in the spirit of https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/linux.kernel/dA2YuUcSpZ4) which would hide the complexity of initializing the stackframe struct from pt_regs. Also implement a macro frame_pointer(regs) that would return the correct register so that we can use it in cases where we just require the frame pointer and not a whole struct stackframe Signed-off-by: Nikolay Borisov <Nikolay.Borisov@arm.com> Acked-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Acked-by: Robert Richter <rric@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2014-03-20Merge branch 'uprobes-v7' of git://git.linaro.org/people/dave.long/linux ↵Russell King1-0/+6
into devel-stable This patch series adds basic uprobes support to ARM. It is based on patches developed earlier by Rabin Vincent. That approach of adding hooks into the kprobes instruction parsing code was not well received. This approach separates the ARM instruction parsing code in kprobes out into a separate set of functions which can be used by both kprobes and uprobes. Both kprobes and uprobes then provide their own semantic action tables to process the results of the parsing.

2014-02-03ARM: make isa_mode macro more robust and fix for v7-MUwe Kleine-König1-2/+6
The definition of isa_mode hardcodes the values to shift PSR_J_BIT and PSR_T_BIT to move them to bits 1 and 0 respectively. Instead use __ffs to calculate the shift from the #define already used for masking. This is relevant on v7-M as there PSR_T_BIT is 0x01000000 instead of 0x00000020 for V7-[AR] and earlier. Because of that isa_mode produced values >= 0x80000 which are unsuitable to index into isa_modes[4] there and so made __show_regs read from undefined memory which resulted in hangs and crashes. Moreover isa_mode is wrong for v7-M even after this robustness fix as there is no J-bit in the PSR register. So hardcode isa_mode to "Thumb" for v7-M.

2012-10-01arm: optimized current_pt_regs()Al Viro1-0/+5
... no need to read current_thread_info()->task only to feed it to task_thread_page() immediately afterwards. Moreover, not using current_thread_info() at all ends up with better assembler - we need a location very close to the top of kernel stack page and it's actually better to do or with 0x1fff, followed be subtracting a small constant than and with ~0x1fff, followed by adding a large one. Both & and | would be a couple of insns (mvn lsr/mvn lsl for |, a pair of bic for &), but the following addition would cost a pair of add while the subtraction ends up as a single sub.

2012-09-19ARM: virt: allow the kernel to be entered in HYP modeDave Martin1-0/+1
This patch does two things: * Ensure that asynchronous aborts are masked at kernel entry. The bootloader should be masking these anyway, but this reduces the damage window just in case it doesn't. * Enter svc mode via exception return to ensure that CPU state is properly serialised. This does not matter when switching from an ordinary privileged mode ("PL1" modes in ARMv7-AR rev C parlance), but it potentially does matter when switching from a another privileged mode such as hyp mode. This should allow the kernel to boot safely either from svc mode or hyp mode, even if no support for use of the ARM Virtualization Extensions is built into the kernel.

2012-01-18Kernel: Audit Support For The ARM PlatformNathaniel Husted1-0/+5
This patch provides functionality to audit system call events on the ARM platform. The implementation was based off the structure of the MIPS platform and information in this (http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/arm/2009-October/000382.html) mailing list thread. The required audit_syscall_exit and audit_syscall_entry checks were added to ptrace using the standard registers for system call values (r0 through r3). A thread information flag was added for auditing (TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT) and a meta-flag was added (_TIF_SYSCALL_WORK) to simplify modifications to the syscall entry/exit. Now, if either the TRACE flag is set or the AUDIT flag is set, the syscall_trace function will be executed. The prober changes were made to Kconfig to allow CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL to be enabled. Due to platform availability limitations, this patch was only tested on the Android platform running the modified "android-goldfish-2.6.29" kernel. A test compile was performed using Code Sourcery's cross-compilation toolset and the current linux-3.0 stable kernel. The changes compile without error. I'm hoping, due to the simple modifications, the patch is "obviously correct". Signed-off-by: Nathaniel Husted <nhusted@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

2011-07-13ARM: Thumb-2: Support Thumb-2 in undefined instruction handlerJon Medhurst1-0/+8
This patch allows undef_hook's to be specified for 32-bit Thumb instructions and also to be used for thumb kernel-side code. 32-bit Thumb instructions are specified in the form: ((first_half << 16 ) | second_half) which matches the layout used by the ARM ARM. ptrace was handling 32-bit Thumb instructions by hooking the first halfword and manually checking the second half. This method would be broken by this patch so it is migrated to make use of the new Thumb-2 support. Signed-off-by: Jon Medhurst <tixy@yxit.co.uk> Acked-by: Nicolas Pitre <nicolas.pitre@linaro.org>
2011-05-15ARM: 6883/1: ptrace: Migrate to regsets frameworkDave Martin1-0/+6
This patch migrates the implementation of the ptrace interface for the core integer registers, legacy FPA registers and VFP registers to use the regsets framework. As an added bonus, all this stuff gets included in coredumps at no extra cost. Without this patch, coredumps contained no VFP state. Third-party extension register sets (iwmmx, crunch) are not migrated by this patch, and continue to use the old implementation; these should be migratable without much extra work.

2011-02-23ARM: 6668/1: ptrace: remove single-step emulation codeWill Deacon1-2/+0
PTRACE_SINGLESTEP is a ptrace request designed to offer single-stepping support to userspace when the underlying architecture has hardware support for this operation. On ARM, we set arch_has_single_step() to 1 and attempt to emulate hardware single-stepping by disassembling the current instruction to determine the next pc and placing a software breakpoint on that location. Unfortunately this has the following problems: 1.) Only a subset of ARMv7 instructions are supported 2.) Thumb-2 is unsupported 3.) The code is not SMP safe We could try to fix this code, but it turns out that because of the above issues it is rarely used in practice. GDB, for example, uses PTRACE_POKETEXT and PTRACE_PEEKTEXT to manage breakpoints itself and does not require any kernel assistance. This patch removes the single-step emulation code from ptrace meaning that the PTRACE_SINGLESTEP request will return -EIO on ARM. Portable code must check the return value from a ptrace call and handle the failure gracefully.

interaction For debuggers to take advantage of the hw-breakpoint framework in the kernel, it is necessary to expose the API calls via a ptrace interface. This patch exposes the hardware breakpoints framework as a collection of virtual registers, accesible using PTRACE_SETHBPREGS and PTRACE_GETHBPREGS requests.

2010-03-13arm: use generic ptrace_resume codeChristoph Hellwig1-0/+2
Use the generic ptrace_resume code for PTRACE_SYSCALL, PTRACE_CONT, PTRACE_KILL and PTRACE_SINGLESTEP. This implies defining arch_has_single_step in <asm/ptrace.h> and implementing the user_enable_single_step and user_disable_single_step functions, which also causes the breakpoint information to be cleared on fork, which could be considered a bug fix. Also the TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE thread flag is now cleared on PTRACE_KILL which it previously wasn't and the single stepping disable only happens if the tracee process isn't a zombie yet, which is consistent with all architectures using the modern ptrace code.
