sparc, sparc64: use arch/sparc/include

2008-07-27T21:00:59+00:00

The majority of this patch was created by the following script: *** ASM=arch/sparc/include/asm mkdir -p $ASM git mv include/asm-sparc64/ftrace.h $ASM git rm include/asm-sparc64/* git mv include/asm-sparc/* $ASM sed -ie 's/asm-sparc64/asm/g' $ASM/* sed -ie 's/asm-sparc/asm/g' $ASM/* *** The rest was an update of the top-level Makefile to use sparc for header files when sparc64 is being build. And a small fixlet to pick up the correct unistd.h from sparc64 code. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

sparc: copy sparc64 specific files to asm-sparc

2008-07-18T04:44:53+00:00

Used the following script to copy the files: cd include set -e SPARC64=`ls asm-sparc64` for FILE in ${SPARC64}; do if [ -f asm-sparc/$FILE ]; then echo $FILE exist in asm-sparc else git mv asm-sparc64/$FILE asm-sparc/$FILE printf "#include \n" > asm-sparc64/$FILE git add asm-sparc64/$FILE fi done Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

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.

[SPARC64]: Add kretprobe support.

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.

[SPARC64]: Fix several kprobes bugs.

2006-12-10T10:42:03+00:00

- relbranch_fixup(), for non-branches, would end up setting regs->tnpc incorrectly, in fact it would set it equal to regs->tpc which would cause that instruction to execute twice Also, if this is not a PC-relative branch, we should just leave regs->tnpc as-is. This covers cases like 'jmpl' which branch to absolute values. - To be absolutely %100 safe, we need to flush the instruction cache for all assignments to kprobe->ainsn.insn[], including cases like add_aggr_kprobe() - prev_kprobe's status field needs to be 'unsigned long' to match the type of the value it is saving - jprobes were totally broken: = jprobe_return() can run in the stack frame of the jprobe handler, or in an even deeper stack frame, thus we'll be in the wrong register window than the one from the original probe state. So unwind using 'restore' instructions, if necessary, right before we do the jprobe_return() breakpoint trap. = There is no reason to save/restore the register window saved at %sp at jprobe trigger time. Those registers cannot be modified by the jprobe handler. Also, this code was saving and restoring "sizeof (struct sparc_stackf)" bytes. Depending upon the caller, this could clobber unrelated stack frame pieces if there is only a basic 128-byte register window stored on the stack, without the argument save area. So just saving and restoring struct pt_regs is sufficient. = Kill the "jprobe_saved_esp", totally unused. Also, delete "jprobe_saved_regs_location", with the stack frame unwind now done explicitly by jprobe_return(), this check is superfluous. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[PATCH] IA64: kprobe invalidate icache of jump buffer

2006-07-31T20:28:38+00:00

Kprobe inserts breakpoint instruction in probepoint and then jumps to instruction slot when breakpoint is hit, the instruction slot icache must be consistent with dcache. Here is the patch which invalidates instruction slot icache area. Without this patch, in some machines there will be fault when executing instruction slot where icache content is inconsistent with dcache.
