2007-05-16[IA64] optimize pagefaults a littleChristoph Hellwig
Get rid of the notifier list and call the kprobes code directly if compiled in. This mirrors the changes that recently went into powerpc, s390 and sparc64. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
2007-05-11[IA64] fix Kprobes reentrancyAnil S Keshavamurthy
In case of reentrance i.e when a probe handler calls a functions which inturn has a probe, we save a previous kprobe information and just single step the reentrant probe without calling the actual probe handler. During this reentracy period, if an interrupt occurs and if probe happens to trigger in the inturrupt path, then we were corrupting the previous kprobe( as we were overriding the previous kprobe info) info their by crashing the system. This patch fixes this issues by having a an array of previous kprobe info struct(with the array size of 2). This similar technique is not needed on i386 and x86_64 because by default interrupts are turn off in the break/int3 exception handler.

2006-12-12[IA64] enable trap code on slot 1Tony Luck
Because slot 1 of one instr bundle crosses border of two consecutive 8-bytes, kprobe on slot 1 is disabled. This patch enables kprobe on slot1, it only replaces higher 8-bytes of the instruction bundle and changes the exception code to ignore the low 12 bits of the break number (which is across the border in the lower 8-bytes of the bundle). For those instructions which must execute regardless qp bits, kprobe on slot 1 is still disabled. Signed-off-by: bibo,mao <bibo.mao@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
2006-09-26[IA64] kprobe opcode 16 bytes alignment on IA64bibo mao
On IA64 instruction opcode must be 16 bytes alignment, in kprobe structure there is one element to save original instruction, currently saved opcode is not statically allocated in kprobe structure, that can not assure 16 bytes alignment. This patch dynamically allocated kprobe instruction opcode to assure 16 bytes alignment.

2006-07-31[PATCH] IA64: kprobe invalidate icache of jump bufferbibo, mao
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.

2006-06-26[PATCH] Notify page fault call chainAnil S Keshavamurthy
With this patch Kprobes now registers for page fault notifications only when their is an active probe registered. Once all the active probes are unregistered their is no need to be notified of page faults and kprobes unregisters itself from the page fault notifications. Hence we will have ZERO side effects when no probes are active.

2006-01-13[IA64] prevent accidental modification of args in jprobe handlerZhang Yanmin

The following patch (against 2.6.15-rc5-mm3) fixes a kprobes build break due to changes introduced in the kprobe locking in 2.6.15-rc5-mm3. In addition, the patch reverts back the open-coding of kprobe_mutex.

2006-01-10[PATCH] kprobes: arch_remove_kprobeAnil S Keshavamurthy
Currently arch_remove_kprobes() is only implemented/required for x86_64 and powerpc. All other architecture like IA64, i386 and sparc64 implementes a dummy function which is being called from arch independent kprobes.c file. This patch removes the dummy functions and replaces it with #define arch_remove_kprobe(p, s) do { } while(0) Signed-off-by: Anil S Keshavamurthy <anil.s.keshavamurthy@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-01-10[PATCH] kprobes: changed from using spinlock to mutexAnil S Keshavamurthy
Since Kprobes runtime exception handlers is now lock free as this code path is now using RCU to walk through the list, there is no need for the register/unregister{_kprobe} to use spin_{lock/unlock}_isr{save/restore}. The serialization during registration/unregistration is now possible using just a mutex. In the above process, this patch also fixes a minor memory leak for x86_64 and powerpc.

The arch specific kprobes.h files never gets included when CONFIG_KPROBES is turned off. Hence check for CONFIG_KPROBES is not appropriate here in this arch specific kprobes.h files. Also the below defined function kprobes_exception_notify() is not needed when CONFIG_KPROBES is off. Compile tested for both CONFIG_KPROBES=y and N.

2005-09-07[PATCH] kprobes: fix bug when probed on task and isr functionsKeshavamurthy Anil S
This patch fixes a race condition where in system used to hang or sometime crash within minutes when kprobes are inserted on ISR routine and a task routine. The fix has been stress tested on i386, ia64, pp64 and on x86_64. To reproduce the problem insert kprobes on schedule() and do_IRQ() functions and you should see hang or system crash.

2005-06-27[PATCH] Return probe redesign: ia64 specific implementationRusty Lynch
The following patch implements function return probes for ia64 using the revised design. With this new design we no longer need to do some of the odd hacks previous required on the last ia64 return probe port that I sent out for comments. Note that this new implementation still does not resolve the problem noted by Keith Owens where backtrace data is lost after a return probe is hit. Changes include: * Addition of kretprobe_trampoline to act as a dummy function for instrumented functions to return to, and for the return probe infrastructure to place a kprobe on on, gaining control so that the return probe handler can be called, and so that the instruction pointer can be moved back to the original return address. * Addition of arch_init(), allowing a kprobe to be registered on kretprobe_trampoline * Addition of trampoline_probe_handler() which is used as the pre_handler for the kprobe inserted on kretprobe_implementation. This is the function that handles the details for calling the return probe handler function and returning control back at the original return address * Addition of arch_prepare_kretprobe() which is setup as the pre_handler for a kprobe registered at the beginning of the target function by kernel/kprobes.c so that a return probe instance can be setup when a caller enters the target function. (A return probe instance contains all the needed information for trampoline_probe_handler to do it's job.) * Hooks added to the exit path of a task so that we can cleanup any left-over return probe instances (i.e. if a task dies while inside a targeted function then the return probe instance was reserved at the beginning of the function but the function never returns so we need to mark the instance as unused.)

2005-06-27[PATCH] kprobes: fix single-step out of line - take2Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli
Now that PPC64 has no-execute support, here is a second try to fix the single step out of line during kprobe execution. Kprobes on x86_64 already solved this problem by allocating an executable page and using it as the scratch area for stepping out of line. Reuse that.

2005-06-23[PATCH] Kprobes IA64: cmp ctype unc supportAnil S Keshavamurthy
The current Kprobes when patching the original instruction with the break instruction tries to retain the original qualifying predicate(qp), however for cmp.crel.ctype where ctype == unc, which is a special instruction always needs to be executed irrespective of qp. Hence, if the instruction we are patching is of this type, then we should not copy the original qp to the break instruction, this is because we always want the break fault to happen so that we can emulate the instruction.

2005-06-23[PATCH] Kprobes ia64 cleanupRusty Lynch
A cleanup of the ia64 kprobes implementation such that all of the bundle manipulation logic is concentrated in arch_prepare_kprobe(). With the current design for kprobes, the arch specific code only has a chance to return failure inside the arch_prepare_kprobe() function. This patch moves all of the work that was happening in arch_copy_kprobe() and most of the work that was happening in arch_arm_kprobe() into arch_prepare_kprobe(). By doing this we can add further robustness checks in arch_arm_kprobe() and refuse to insert kprobes that will cause problems.
