Currently, when ptrace needs to modify a breakpoint, like disabling it, changing its address, type or len, it calls modify_user_hw_breakpoint(). This latter will perform the heavy and racy task of unregistering the old breakpoint and registering a new one. This is racy as someone else might steal the reserved breakpoint slot under us, which is undesired as the breakpoint is only supposed to be modified, sometimes in the middle of a debugging workflow. We don't want our slot to be stolen in the middle. So instead of unregistering/registering the breakpoint, just disable it while we modify its breakpoint fields and re-enable it after if necessary.

When we enter in irq, two things can happen to preserve the link to the previous frame pointer: - If we were in an irq already, we don't switch to the irq stack as we are inside. We just need to save the previous frame pointer and to link the new one to the previous. - Otherwise we need another level of indirection. We enter the irq with the previous stack. We save the previous bp inside and make bp pointing to its saved address. Then we switch to the irq stack and push bp another time but to the new stack. This makes two levels to dereference instead of one. In the second case, the current stacktrace code omits the second level and loses the frame pointer accuracy. The stack that follows will then be considered as unreliable. Handling that makes the perf callchain happier.

While dumping a stacktrace, the end of the exception stack won't link the frame pointer to the previous stack. The interrupted stack will then be considered as unreliable and ignored by perf, as the frame pointer is unreliable itself. This happens because we overwrite the frame pointer that links to the interrupted frame with the address of the exception stack. This is done in order to reserve space inside. But rbp has been chosen here only because it is not a scratch register, so that the address of the exception stack remains in rbp after calling do_debug(), we can then release the exception stack space without the need to retrieve its address again. But we can pick another non-scratch register to do that, so that we preserve the link to the interrupted stack frame in the stacktraces. Just randomly choose r12. Every registers are saved just before and restored just after calling do_debug(). And r12 is not used in the middle, which makes it a perfect candidate.

struct perf_event::event callback was called when a breakpoint triggers. But this is a rather opaque callback, pretty tied-only to the breakpoint API and not really integrated into perf as it triggers even when we don't overflow. We prefer to use overflow_handler() as it fits into the perf events rules, being called only when we overflow.

When we disable a breakpoint through dr7, we unregister it right away, making us lose track of its corresponding address register value. It means that the following sequence would be unsupported: - set address in dr0 - enable it through dr7 - disable it through dr7 - enable it through dr7 because we lost the address register value when we disabled the breakpoint. Don't unregister the disabled breakpoints but rather disable them.

In-kernel user breakpoints are created using functions in which we pass breakpoint parameters as individual variables: address, length and type. Although it fits well for x86, this just does not scale across archictectures that may support this api later as these may have more or different needs. Pass in a perf_event_attr structure instead because it is meant to evolve as much as possible into a generic hardware breakpoint parameter structure.

But x86_schedule_event() returns the counter index and 0 is a perfectly valid value. An error is returned if the function returns a negative value.

On platforms where the BIOS handles the thermal monitor interrupt, APIC_LVTTHMR on each logical CPU is programmed to generate a SMI and OS must not touch it. Unfortunately AP bringup sequence using INIT-SIPI-SIPI clears all the LVT entries except the mask bit. Essentially this results in all LVT entries including the thermal monitoring interrupt set to masked (clearing the bios programmed value for APIC_LVTTHMR). And this leads to kernel take over the thermal monitoring interrupt on AP's but not on BSP (leaving the bios programmed value only on BSP). As a result of this, we have seen system hangs when the thermal monitoring interrupt is generated. Fix this by reading the initial value of thermal LVT entry on BSP and if bios has taken over the control, then program the same value on all AP's and leave the thermal monitoring interrupt control on all the logical cpu's to the bios.

This patch rebase the implementation of the breakpoints API on top of perf events instances. Each breakpoints are now perf events that handle the register scheduling, thread/cpu attachment, etc.. The new layering is now made as follows: ptrace kgdb ftrace perf syscall \ | / / \ | / / / Core breakpoint API / / | / | / Breakpoints perf events | | Breakpoints PMU ---- Debug Register constraints handling (Part of core breakpoint API) | | Hardware debug registers Reasons of this rewrite: - Use the centralized/optimized pmu registers scheduling, implying an easier arch integration - More powerful register handling: perf attributes (pinned/flexible events, exclusive/non-exclusive, tunable period, etc...) Impact: - New perf ABI: the hardware breakpoints counters - Ptrace breakpoints setting remains tricky and still needs some per thread breakpoints references. Todo (in the order): - Support breakpoints perf counter events for perf tools (ie: implement perf_bpcounter_event()) - Support from perf tools Changes in v2: - Follow the perf "event " rename - The ptrace regression have been fixed (ptrace breakpoint perf events weren't released when a task ended) - Drop the struct hw_breakpoint and store generic fields in perf_event_attr. - Separate core and arch specific headers, drop asm-generic/hw_breakpoint.h and create linux/hw_breakpoint.h - Use new generic len/type for breakpoint - Handle off case: when breakpoints api is not supported by an arch Changes in v3: - Fix broken CONFIG_KVM, we need to propagate the breakpoint api changes to kvm when we exit the guest and restore the bp registers to the host. Changes in v4: - Drop the hw_breakpoint_restore() stub as it is only used by KVM - EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL hw_breakpoint_restore() as KVM can be built as a module - Restore the breakpoints unconditionally on kvm guest exit: TIF_DEBUG_THREAD doesn't anymore cover every cases of running breakpoints and vcpu->arch.switch_db_regs might not always be set when the guest used debug registers. (Waiting for a reliable optimization) Changes in v5: - Split-up the asm-generic/hw-breakpoint.h moving to linux/hw_breakpoint.h into a separate patch - Optimize the breakpoints restoring while switching from kvm guest to host. We only want to restore the state if we have active breakpoints to the host, otherwise we don't care about messed-up address registers. - Add asm/hw_breakpoint.h to Kbuild - Fix bad breakpoint type in trace_selftest.c Changes in v6: - Fix wrong header inclusion in trace.h (triggered a build error with CONFIG_FTRACE_SELFTEST Signed-off-by: NFrederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Prasad <prasad@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@web.de> Cc: Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@gmail.com> Cc: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>

flush_thread() tries to do a TIF_DEBUG check before calling in to flush_thread_hw_breakpoint() (which subsequently clears the thread flag), but for some reason, the x86 code is manually clearing TIF_DEBUG immediately before the test, so this path will never be taken. This kills off the erroneous clear_tsk_thread_flag() and lets flush_thread_hw_breakpoint() actually get invoked. Presumably folks were getting lucky with testing and the free_thread_info() -> free_thread_xstate() path was taking care of the flush there.

The function iommu_feature_disable is required on system shutdown to disable the IOMMU but it is marked as __init. This may result in a panic if the memory is reused. This patch fixes this bug. Signed-off-by: NJoerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@amd.com>

The EFI RTC functions are only available on 32 bit. commit 7bd867df (x86: Move get/set_wallclock to x86_platform_ops) removed the 32bit dependency which leads to boot crashes on 64bit EFI systems. Add the dependency back.

Non-PAE 32-bit dump kernels may wrap an address around 4G and poke unwanted space. ptes there are 32-bit long, and since pfn << PAGE_SIZE may exceed this limit, high pfn bits are cropped and wrong address mapped by kmap_atomic_pfn in copy_oldmem_page. Don't allow this behavior in non-PAE kdump kernels by checking pfns passed into copy_oldmem_page. In the case of failure, userspace process gets EFAULT.

Create an inline function to extract the pnode from a global physical address and then convert the broadcast assist unit to use the newly created uv_gpa_to_pnode function. The open-coded code was wrong as well - it might explain a few of our unexplained bau hangs.

Prefix global/setup routines with "mcheck_" thus differentiating from the internal facilities prefixed with "mce_". Also, prefix the per cpu calls with mcheck_cpu and rename them to reflect the MCE setup hierarchy of calls better. There should be no functionality change resulting from this patch.

The MCE initialization code explicitly says it doesn't handle asymmetric configurations where different CPUs support different numbers of MCE banks, and it prints a big warning in that case. Therefore, printing the "mce: CPU supports <x> MCE banks" message into the kernel log for every CPU is pure redundancy that clutters the log significantly for systems with lots of CPUs.

A few parts of the uv_hub_info structure are initialized incorrectly. - n_val is being loaded with m_val. - gpa_mask is initialized with a bytes instead of an unsigned long. - Handle the case where none of the alias registers are used. Lastly I converted the bau over to using the uv_hub_info->m_val which is the correct value. Without this patch, booting a large configuration hits a problem where the upper bits of the gnode affect the pnode and the bau will not operate.

Older binutils breaks if ASSERT() is used without a sink for the output. For example 2.14.90.0.6 is known to be broken, the link fails with: LD .tmp_vmlinux1 ld:arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds:678: parse error Document this quirk in all three files that use it.
