x86: consolidate header guards

2008-07-22T19:31:34+00:00

This patch is the result of an automatic script that consolidates the format of all the headers in include/asm-x86/. The format: 1. No leading underscore. Names with leading underscores are reserved. 2. Pathname components are separated by two underscores. So we can distinguish between mm_types.h and mm/types.h. 3. Everything except letters and numbers are turned into single underscores. Signed-off-by: Vegard Nossum

x86 ptrace: unify syscall tracing

2008-07-16T19:15:17+00:00

This unifies and cleans up the syscall tracing code on i386 and x86_64. Using a single function for entry and exit tracing on 32-bit made the do_syscall_trace() into some terrible spaghetti. The logic is clear and simple using separate syscall_trace_enter() and syscall_trace_leave() functions as on 64-bit. The unification adds PTRACE_SYSEMU and PTRACE_SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP support on x86_64, for 32-bit ptrace() callers and for 64-bit ptrace() callers tracing either 32-bit or 64-bit tasks. It behaves just like 32-bit. Changing syscall_trace_enter() to return the syscall number shortens all the assembly paths, while adding the SYSEMU feature in a simple way.

x86, ptrace: PEBS support

2008-05-12T19:27:53+00:00

Polish the ds.h interface and add support for PEBS. Ds.c is meant to be the resource allocator for per-thread and per-cpu BTS and PEBS recording. It is used by ptrace/utrace to provide execution tracing of debugged tasks. It will be used by profilers (e.g. perfmon2). It may be used by kernel debuggers to provide a kernel execution trace. Changes in detail: - guard DS and ptrace by CONFIG macros - separate DS and BTS more clearly - simplify field accesses - add functions to manage PEBS buffers - add simple protection/allocation mechanism - added support for Atom Opens: - buffer overflow handling Currently, only circular buffers are supported. This is all we need for debugging. Profilers would want an overflow notification. This is planned to be added when perfmon2 is made to use the ds.h interface. - utrace intermediate layer Signed-off-by: Markus Metzger Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner

x86 ptrace: fix ptrace_bts_config structure declaration

2008-02-29T17:55:43+00:00

The 2.6.25 ptrace_bts_config structure in asm-x86/ptrace-abi.h is defined with u32 types: #include /* configuration/status structure used in PTRACE_BTS_CONFIG and PTRACE_BTS_STATUS commands. */ struct ptrace_bts_config { /* requested or actual size of BTS buffer in bytes */ u32 size; /* bitmask of below flags */ u32 flags; /* buffer overflow signal */ u32 signal; /* actual size of bts_struct in bytes */ u32 bts_size; }; #endif But u32 is only accessible in asm-x86/types.h if __KERNEL__, leading to compile errors when ptrace.h is included from user-space. The double-underscore versions that are exported to user-space in asm-x86/types.h should be used instead. Signed-off-by: Dave Anderson Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

x86, ptrace: overflow signal API

2008-01-30T12:32:04+00:00

Establish the user API for sending a user-defined signal to the traced task on a BTS buffer overflow. This should complete the user API for the BTS ptrace extension. The patches so far implement wrap-around overflow handling as is needed for debugging. The remaining open is another overflow handling mechanism that sends a signal to the traced task on a buffer overflow. This will take some more time from my side. Since, from a user perspective, this occurs behind the scenes, the patch set should already be useful. More features may/will be added on top of it (overflow signal, pageable back-up buffers, kernel tracing, core file support, profiling, ...).
