Switch struct sigcontext (defined in <asm/sigcontext*.h>) to using register names withut e- or r-prefixes for both 32- and 64-bit x86. This is intended as a preliminary step in unifying this code between architectures. Signed-off-by:

Switch struct user_regs_struct (defined in <asm/user.h>, which is no longer exported to userspace) to using register names without e- or r-prefixes for both 32 and 64 bit x86. This is intended as a preliminary step in unifying this code between architectures. Also, be a bit more strict in truncating 32-bit "extended" segment register values to 16 bits. Signed-off-by:

We have a lot of code which differs only by the naming of specific members of structures that contain registers. In order to enable additional unifications, this patch drops the e- or r- size prefix from the register names in struct pt_regs, and drops the x- prefixes for segment registers on the 32-bit side. This patch also performs the equivalent renames in some additional places that might be candidates for unification in the future. Signed-off-by:

The patch to suppress bitops-related warnings added a pile of ugly casts. Many of these were related to the management of x86 CPU capabilities. Clean these up by adding specific set/clear_cpu_cap macros, and use them consistently. Signed-off-by:

Add casts to appropriate places to silence spurious bitops warnings. Signed-off-by:

Jeremy Fitzhardinge authored
This unifies the set/clear/test bit functions of asm/bitops.h. I have not attempted to merge the bit-finding functions, since they rely on the machine word size and can't be easily restructured to work generically without a lot of #ifdefs. In particular, the 64-bit code can assume the presence of conditional move instructions, whereas 32-bit needs to be more careful. The inline assembly for the bit operations has been changed to remove explicit sizing hints on the instructions, so the assembler will pick the appropriate instruction forms depending on the architecture and the context.

This adds the PTRACE_SINGLEBLOCK request on x86, matching the ia64 feature. The implementation comes from the generic ptrace code and relies on the low-level machine support provided by arch_has_block_step() et al. Signed-off-by:

This adjusts the x86 kprobes implementation to cope with per-thread MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR being set for user mode. I haven't delved deep enough into the kprobes code to be really sure this covers all the cases where the user-mode BTF setting needs to be cleared or restored. It looks about right to me.

This implements user-mode step-until-branch on x86 using the BTF bit in MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR. It's just like single-step, only less so. Signed-off-by:

This adds low-level support for a per-thread value of MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR. The per-thread value is switched in when TIF_DEBUGCTLMSR is set. Signed-off-by:

This adds the (internal) Kconfig macro CONFIG_X86_DEBUGCTLMSR, to be defined when configuring to support only hardware that definitely supports MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR with the BTF flag. The Intel documentation says "P6 family" and later processors all have it. I think the Kconfig dependencies are right to have it set for those and unset for others (i.e., when 586 and earlier are supported). Signed-off-by:

This makes ptrace_request handle PTRACE_SINGLEBLOCK along with PTRACE_CONT et al. The new generic code makes use of the arch_has_block_step macro and generic entry points on machines that define them. [ mingo@elte.hu: bugfix ] Signed-off-by:
-
Roland McGrath authored
This defines the new macro arch_has_block_step() in linux/ptrace.h, a default for when asm/ptrace.h does not define it. This is the analog of arch_has_single_step() for step-until-branch on machines that have it. It declares the new user_enable_block_step function, which goes with the existing user_enable_single_step and user_disable_single_step. This is not used yet, but paves the way to harmonize on this interface for the arch-specific calls on all machines. Signed-off-by:

This cleans up the 32-bit ptrace code to separate the guts of the debug register access from the implementation of PTRACE_PEEKUSR and PTRACE_POKEUSR. The new functions ptrace_[gs]et_debugreg match the new 64-bit entry points for parity, but they don't need to be global. Signed-off-by:

This makes ptrace_request handle all the ptrace requests that wake up the traced task. These do low-level ptrace implementation magic that is not arch-specific and should be kept out of arch code. The implementations on each arch usually do the same thing. The new generic code makes use of the arch_has_single_step macro and generic entry points to handle PTRACE_SINGLESTEP. Signed-off-by:

This changes the single-step support to use a new thread_info flag TIF_FORCED_TF instead of the PT_DTRACE flag in task_struct.ptrace. This keeps arch implementation uses out of this non-arch field. This changes the ptrace access to eflags to mask TF and maintain the TIF_FORCED_TF flag directly if userland sets TF, instead of relying on ptrace_signal_deliver. The 64-bit and 32-bit kernels are harmonized on this same behavior. The ptrace_signal_deliver approach works now, but this change makes the low-level register access code reliable when called from different contexts than a ptrace stop, which will be possible in the future. The 64-bit do_debug exception handler is also changed not to clear TF from user-mode registers. This matches the 32-bit kernel's behavior. Signed-off-by:

This removes the single-step code from ptrace_32.c and uses the step.c code shared with the 64-bit kernel. The two versions of the code were nearly identical already, so the shared code has only a couple of simple #ifdef's. Signed-off-by:

This copies into asm-x86/segment_64.h some macros from asm-x86/segment_32.h for dissecting segment selectors. This lets other code use these macros uniformly on 32/64-bit rather than duplicating the constants elsewhere. Signed-off-by:

Actually, on 386, cmpxchg and cmpxchg_local fall back on cmpxchg_386_u8/16/32: it disables interruptions around non atomic updates to mimic the cmpxchg behavior. The comment: /* Poor man's cmpxchg for 386. Unsuitable for SMP */ already present in cmpxchg_386_u32 tells much about how this cmpxchg implementation should not be used in a SMP context. However, the cmpxchg_local can perfectly use this fallback, since it only needs to be atomic wrt the local cpu. This patch adds a cmpxchg_486_u64 and uses it as a fallback for cmpxchg64 and cmpxchg64_local on 80386 and 80486. Q: but why is it called cmpxchg_486 when the other functions are called A: Because the standard cmpxchg is missing only on 386, but cmpxchg8b is missing both on 386 and 486. Citing Intel's Instruction set reference: cmpxchg: This instruction is not supported on Intel processors earlier than the Intel486 processors. cmpxchg8b: This instruction encoding is not supported on Intel processors earlier than the Pentium processors. Q: What's the reason to have cmpxchg64_local on 32 bit architectures? Without that need all this would just be a few simple defines. A: cmpxchg64_local on 32 bits architectures takes unsigned long long parameters, but cmpxchg_local only takes longs. Since we have cmpxchg8b to execute a 8 byte cmpxchg atomically on pentium and +, it makes sense to provide a flavor of cmpxchg and cmpxchg_local using this instruction. Also, for 32 bits architectures lacking the 64 bits atomic cmpxchg, it makes sense _not_ to define cmpxchg64 while cmpxchg could still be available. Moreover, the fallback for cmpxchg8b on i386 for 386 and 486 is a However, cmpxchg64_local will be emulated by disabling interrupts on all architectures where it is not supported atomically. Therefore, we *could* turn cmpxchg64_local into a cmpxchg_local, but it would make the 386/486 fallbacks ugly, make its design different from cmpxchg/cmpxchg64 (which really depends on atomic operations and cannot be emulated) and require the __cmpxchg_local to be expressed as a macro rather than an inline function so the parameters would not be fixed to unsigned long long in every case. So I think cmpxchg64_local makes sense there, but I am open to suggestions. Q: Are there any callers? A: I am actually using it in LTTng in my timestamping code. I use it to work around CPUs with asynchronous TSCs. I need to update 64 bits values atomically on this 32 bits architecture. Changelog: - Ran though checkpatch. Signed-off-by:

Use sparsemem as the only memory model for UP, SMP and NUMA. Measurements indicate that DISCONTIGMEM has a higher overhead than sparsemem. And FLATMEMs benefits are minimal.
