      [POWERPC] Uninline common ptrace bits · 865418d8
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      This folds back the ptrace-common.h bits back into ptrace.c and removes
      that file. The FSL SPE bits from ptrace-ppc32.h are folded back in as
      well.

      [POWERPC] ptrace updates & new, better requests · e17666ba
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      The powerpc ptrace interface is dodgy at best. We have defined our
      "own" versions of GETREGS/SETREGS/GETFPREGS/SETFPREGS that strangely
      take arguments in reverse order from other archs (in addition to having
      different request numbers) and have subtle issue, like not accessing
      all of the registers in their respective categories.
      
      This patch moves the implementation of those to a separate function
      in order to facilitate their deprecation in the future, and provides
      new ptrace requests that mirror the x86 and sparc ones and use the
      same numbers:
      
         PTRACE_GETREGS    : returns an entire pt_regs (the whole thing,
                             not only the 32 GPRs, though that doesn't
                             include the FPRs etc... There's a compat version
                             for 32 bits that returns a 32 bits compatible
                             pt_regs (44 uints)
      
         PTRACE_SETREGS    : sets an entire pt_regs (the whole thing,
                             not only the 32 GPRs, though that doesn't
                             include the FPRs etc... Some registers cannot be
                             written to and will just be dropped, this is the
                             same as with POKEUSR, that is anything above MQ
                             on 32 bits and CCR on 64 bits. There is a compat
                             version as well.
      
         PTRACE_GETFPREGS  : returns all the FP registers -including- the FPSCR
                             that is 33 doubles (regardless of 32/64 bits)
      
         PTRACE_SETFPREGS  : sets all the FP registers -including- the FPSCR
                             that is 33 doubles (regardless of 32/64 bits)
      
      And two that only exist on 64 bits kernels:
      
         PTRACE_GETREGS64  : Same as PTRACE_GETREGS, except there is no compat
                             function, a 32 bits process will obtain the full 64
                             bits registers
      
         PTRACE_SETREGS64  : Same as PTRACE_SETREGS, except there is no compat
                             function, a 32 bits process will set the full 64
                             bits registers
      
      The two later ones makes things easier to have a 32 bits debugger on a
      64 bits program (or on a 32 bits program that uses the full 64 bits of
      the GPRs, which is possible though has issues that will be fixed in a
      later patch).
      
      Finally, while at it, the patch removes a whole bunch of code duplication
      between ptrace32.c and ptrace.c, in large part by having the former call
      into the later for all requests that don't need any special "compat"
      treatment.

      [PATCH] syscall entry/exit revamp · 401d1f02
      David Woodhouse 提交于
      This cleanup patch speeds up the null syscall path on ppc64 by about 3%,
      and brings the ppc32 and ppc64 code slightly closer together.
      
      The ppc64 code was checking current_thread_info()->flags twice in the
      syscall exit path; once for TIF_SYSCALL_T_OR_A before disabling
      interrupts, and then again for TIF_SIGPENDING|TIF_NEED_RESCHED etc after
      disabling interrupts. Now we do the same as ppc32 -- check the flags
      only once in the fast path, and re-enable interrupts if necessary in the
      ptrace case.
      
      The patch abolishes the 'syscall_noerror' member of struct thread_info
      and replaces it with a TIF_NOERROR bit in the flags, which is handled in
      the slow path. This shortens the syscall entry code, which no longer
      needs to clear syscall_noerror.
      
      The patch adds a TIF_SAVE_NVGPRS flag which causes the syscall exit slow
      path to save the non-volatile GPRs into a signal frame. This removes the
      need for the assembly wrappers around sys_sigsuspend(),
      sys_rt_sigsuspend(), et al which existed solely to save those registers
      in advance. It also means I don't have to add new wrappers for ppoll()
      and pselect(), which is what I was supposed to be doing when I got
      distracted into this...
      
      Finally, it unifies the ppc64 and ppc32 methods of handling syscall exit
      directly into a signal handler (as required by sigsuspend et al) by
      introducing a TIF_RESTOREALL flag which causes _all_ the registers to be
      reloaded from the pt_regs by taking the ret_from_exception path, instead
      of the normal syscall exit path which stomps on the callee-saved GPRs.
      
      It appears to pass an LTP test run on ppc64, and passes basic testing on
      ppc32 too. Brief tests of ptrace functionality with strace and gdb also
      appear OK. I wouldn't send it to Linus for 2.6.15 just yet though :)

      [PATCH] ppc64: Add definitions for new PTRACE calls · a94d3085
      Anton Blanchard 提交于
      - Add PTRACE_GET_DEBUGREG/PTRACE_SET_DEBUGREG. The definition is
        as follows:
      
      /*
       * Get or set a debug register. The first 16 are DABR registers and the
       * second 16 are IABR registers.
       */
      #define PTRACE_GET_DEBUGREG    25
      #define PTRACE_SET_DEBUGREG    26
      
        DABR == data breakpoint and IABR = instruction breakpoint in IBM
        speak. We could split out the IABR into 2 more ptrace calls but I
        figured there was no need and 16 DABR registers should be more
        than enough (POWER4/POWER5 have one).
      
      - Add 2 new SIGTRAP si_codes: TRAP_HWBKPT and TRAP_BRANCH. I couldnt
        find any standards on either of these so I copied what ia64 is
        doing. Again this might be better placed in
        include/asm-generic/siginfo.h

      Linux-2.6.12-rc2 · 1da177e4
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
