[IA64] Move include/asm-ia64 to arch/ia64/include/asm

2008-08-01T17:21:21+00:00

After moving the the include files there were a few clean-ups: 1) Some files used #include , changed to 2) Some comments alerted maintainers to look at various header files to make matching updates if certain code were to be changed. Updated these comments to use the new include paths. 3) Some header files mentioned their own names in initial comments. Just deleted these self references. Signed-off-by: Tony Luck

[IA64] kprobes: kprobe-booster for ia64

2008-04-09T17:36:43+00:00

Add kprobe-booster support on ia64. Kprobe-booster improves the performance of kprobes by eliminating single-step, where possible. Currently, kprobe-booster is implemented on x86 and x86-64. This is an ia64 port. On ia64, kprobe-booster executes a copied bundle directly, instead of single stepping. Bundles which have B or X unit and which may cause an exception (including break) are not executed directly. And also, to prevent hitting break exceptions on the copied bundle, only the hindmost kprobe is executed directly if several kprobes share a bundle and are placed in different slots. Note: set_brl_inst() is used for preparing an instruction buffer(it does not modify any active code), so it does not need any atomic operation.

[IA64] kprobes arch consolidation build fix

2008-03-06T17:49:01+00:00

ia64 named their handler kprobes_fault_handler while all other arches used kprobe_fault_handler. Change the function definition and header declaration. Signed-off-by: Harvey Harrison Signed-off-by: Tony Luck

Kprobes: indicate kretprobe support in Kconfig

2008-03-05T00:35:11+00:00

Add CONFIG_HAVE_KRETPROBES to the arch//Kconfig file for relevant architectures with kprobes support. This facilitates easy handling of in-kernel modules (like samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.c) that depend on kretprobes being present in the kernel. Thanks to Sam Ravnborg for helping make the patch more lean. Per Mathieu's suggestion, added CONFIG_KRETPROBES and fixed up dependencies.

[IA64] fix ia64 kprobes compilation

This patch fixes the following compile error with a recent gcc: CC kernel/kprobes.o /home/bunk/linux/kernel-2.6/git/linux-2.6/kernel/kprobes.c:1066: error: __ksymtab_jprobe_return causes a section type conflict Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk Signed-off-by: Tony Luck

kprobes: support kretprobe blacklist

2007-10-16T16:43:10+00:00

Introduce architecture dependent kretprobe blacklists to prohibit users from inserting return probes on the function in which kprobes can be inserted but kretprobes can not. This patch also removes "__kprobes" mark from "__switch_to" on x86_64 and registers "__switch_to" to the blacklist on x86-64, because that mark is to prohibit user from inserting only kretprobe.

x86: optimize page faults like all other achitectures and kill notifier cruft

2007-10-16T16:42:50+00:00

x86(-64) are the last architectures still using the page fault notifier cruft for the kprobes page fault hook. This patch converts them to the proper direct calls, and removes the now unused pagefault notifier bits aswell as the cruft in kprobes.c that was related to this mess. I know Andi didn't really like this, but all other architecture maintainers agreed the direct calls are much better and besides the obvious cruft removal a common way of dealing with kprobes across architectures is important aswell.

jprobes: remove JPROBE_ENTRY()

2007-07-19T17:04:44+00:00

AFAICT now that jprobe.entry is a void *, JPROBE_ENTRY doesn't do anything useful - so remove it .. I've left a do-nothing version so that out-of-tree jprobes code will still compile without modifications.

[IA64] optimize pagefaults a little

2007-05-16T16:00:51+00:00

Get rid of the notifier list and call the kprobes code directly if compiled in. This mirrors the changes that recently went into powerpc, s390 and sparc64. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Tony Luck
