asm/assembler.h lacks the usual guard against multiple inclusion, leading to a compilation failure if it is accidentally included twice. Using the classic #ifndef/#define/#endif construct solves the issue. Signed-off-by: NMarc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com> Signed-off-by: NWill Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

Since mdscr_el1 is part of the debug register group, it is highly likely to be trapped by a hypervisor to prevent virtual machines from debugging (buggering?) each other. Unfortunately, this absolutely destroys our performance, since we access the register on many of our low-level fault handling paths to keep track of the various debug state machines. This patch removes our dependency on mdscr_el1 in the case that debugging is not being used. More specifically we: - Use TIF_SINGLESTEP to indicate that a task is stepping at EL0 and avoid disabling step in the MDSCR when we don't need to. MDSCR_EL1.SS handling is moved to kernel_entry, when trapping from userspace. - Ensure debug exceptions are re-enabled on *all* exception entry paths, even the debug exception handling path (where we re-enable exceptions after invoking the handler). Since we can now rely on MDSCR_EL1.SS being cleared by the entry code, exception handlers can usually enable debug immediately before enabling interrupts. - Remove all debug exception unmasking from ret_to_user and el1_preempt, since we will never get here with debug exceptions masked. This results in a slight change to kernel debug behaviour, where we now step into interrupt handlers and data aborts from EL1 when debugging the kernel, which is actually a useful thing to do. A side-effect of this is that it *does* potentially prevent stepping off {break,watch}points when there is a high-frequency interrupt source (e.g. a timer), so a debugger would need to use either breakpoints or manually disable interrupts to get around this issue. With this patch applied, guest performance is restored under KVM when debug register accesses are trapped (and we get a measurable performance increase on the host on Cortex-A57 too).

The arm64 port contains wrappers for arm32 syscalls that pass 64-bit values. These wrappers concatenate the two registers to hold a 64-bit value in a single X register. On BE, however, the lower and higher words are swapped. Create a new assembler macro, regs_to_64, that when on BE systems swaps the registers in the orr instruction.

When we take an exception at EL1, we only want to enable debug exceptions if we're not currently stepping, otherwise we can easily get stuck in a loop stepping into interrupt handlers. Unfortunately, the current code tests the wrong bit in the mdscr, so fix that. Signed-off-by: NWill Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Signed-off-by: NCatalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
