2012-11-09ARM: hw_breakpoint: kill WARN_ONCE usageWill Deacon
WARN_ONCE is a bit OTT for some of the simple failure cases encountered in hw_breakpoint, so use either pr_warning or pr_warn_once instead. Reported-by: Stephen Boyd <sboyd@codeaurora.org> Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
2012-11-09ARM: hw_breakpoint: use CRn as argument for debug reg accessor macrosDietmar Eggemann
The coprocessor register CRn for accesses to the debug register can be a different one than C0. Take this into account for the ARM_DBG_READ and the ARM_DBG_WRITE macro. The inline assembler calls which used a coprocessor register CRn other than C0 are replaced by the ARM_DBG_READ or ARM_DBG_WRITE macro.

2012-11-09ARM: hw_breakpoint: check if monitor mode is enabled during validationWill Deacon
Rather than attempt to enable monitor mode explicitly when scheduling in a breakpoint event (which could raise an undefined exception trap when accessing DBGDSCRext), instead check that DBGDSCRint.MDBGen is set during event validation and report an error to the caller if not.

2012-11-09ARM: hw_breakpoint: make boot quieter without CPUID feature registersWill Deacon
Booting on a v6 core without the CPUID feature registers (e.g. 1136) leads to a noisy dmesg complaining about their absence. This patch changes the pr_warning into a pr_warn_once to keep the log quieter. Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
2012-11-09ARM: hw_breakpoint: don't try to clear v6 debug registers during bootWill Deacon
v6 cores do not provide a way to clear the debug registers without first enabling monitor mode, meaning that we could take spurious debug exceptions. Instead, rely on the registers being in a sane state when we boot as they are defined to be disabled out of reset anyway.

2012-11-09ARM: hw_breakpoint: fix ordering of debug register reset sequenceWill Deacon
The debug register reset sequence for v7 and v7.1 is congruent with tap-dancing through a minefield. Rather than wait until we've blown ourselves to pieces, this patch instead checks the debug_err_mask after each potentially faulting operation. We also move the enabling of monitor_mode to the end of the sequence in order to prevent spurious debug events generated by UNKNOWN register values.

2012-11-09ARM: hw_breakpoint: fix monitor mode detection with v7.1Will Deacon
Detecting whether halting debug is enabled is no longer possible via the DBGDSCR in v7.1, returning an UNKNOWN value for the HDBGen bit via CP14 when the OS lock is clear. This patch removes the halting mode check and ensures that accesses to the internal and external views of the DBGDSCR are serialised with an instruction barrier.

2012-11-09ARM: hw_breakpoint: only clear OS lock when implemented on v7Will Deacon
The OS save and restore register are optional in debug architecture v7, so check the status register before attempting to clear the OS lock. Tested-by: Stephen Boyd <sboyd@codeaurora.org> Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
2012-08-25ARM: 7497/1: hw_breakpoint: allow single-byte watchpoints on all addressesWill Deacon
Breakpoint validation currently fails for single-byte watchpoints on addresses ending in 11b. There is no reason to forbid such a watchpoint, so extend the validation code to allow it.

2012-08-25ARM: 7496/1: hw_breakpoint: don't rely on dfsr to show watchpoint access typeWill Deacon
From ARM debug architecture v7.1 onwards, a watchpoint exception causes the DFAR to be updated with the faulting data address. However, DFSR.WnR takes an UNKNOWN value and therefore cannot be used in general to determine the access type that triggered the watchpoint. This patch forbids watchpoints without an overflow handler from specifying a specific access type (load/store). Those with overflow handlers must be able to handle false positives potentially triggered by a watchpoint of a different access type on the same address. For SIGTRAP-based handlers (i.e. ptrace), this should have no impact.

2011-12-08ARM: LPAE: Add fault handling supportCatalin Marinas
The DFSR and IFSR register format is different when LPAE is enabled. In addition, DFSR and IFSR have similar definitions for the fault type. This modifies the fault code to correctly handle the new format. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
2011-10-08ARM: 7127/1: hw_breakpoint: skip v7-specific reset on v6 coresWill Deacon
ARMv6 cores do not implement the DBGOSLAR register, so we don't need to try and clear it on boot. Furthermore, the VCR is zeroed out of reset, so we don't need to zero it explicitly when a CPU comes online.

2011-08-31ARM: hw_breakpoint: reduce the number of WARN_ONCE invocationsWill Deacon
The ARM hw_breakpoint backend is currently a bit too noisy when things start to go awry. This patch removes a couple of over-zealous WARN_ONCE invocations and replaces then with pr_warnings instead. Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
2011-08-31ARM: hw_breakpoint: trap undef instruction exceptions in reset_ctrl_regsWill Deacon
The ARM debug registers can only be accessed if the DBGSWENABLE signal to the core is driven HIGH by the DAP. The architecture does not provide a way to detect the value of this signal, so the best we can do is register an undef_hook to trap debug register co-processor accesses and then fail if the trap is taken. Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
2011-08-31ARM: hw_breakpoint: add support for multiple watchpointsWill Deacon
ARM debug architecture 7.1 mandates that the DFAR is updated on a watchpoint debug exception to contain the faulting virtual address of the memory access. This allows us to determine which watchpoints have fired and therefore report useful information to userspace. This patch adds support for using the DFAR in the watchpoint handler, which allows us to support multiple watchpoints on CPUs implementing the new debug architecture. Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
2011-08-31ARM: hw_breakpoint: reserve one breakpoint for watchpoint steppingWill Deacon
The current hw_breakpoint code on ARM reserves 1 breakpoint for each watchpoint that is available. Since debug architectures prior to 7.1 are restricted to 1 watchpoint anyway, only one breakpoint was ever reserved. This patch changes the reservation strategy so that a single breakpoint is reserved, regardless of the number of watchpoints. This is in preparation for multiple-watchpoint support on debug architectures from 7.1 onwards. Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
2011-08-31ARM: hw_breakpoint: add initial Cortex-A15 (debug v7.1) supportWill Deacon

2011-07-02ARM: entry: avoid enabling interrupts in prefetch/data abort handlersRussell King
Avoid enabling interrupts if the parent context had interrupts enabled in the abort handler assembly code, and move this into the breakpoint/ page/alignment fault handlers instead. This gets rid of some special-casing for the breakpoint fault handlers from the low level abort handler path.

2011-04-10ARM: 6864/1: hw_breakpoint: clear DBGVCR out of resetWill Deacon
The DBGVCR, used for configuring vector catch debug events, is UNKNOWN out of reset on ARMv7. When enabling monitor mode, this must be zeroed to avoid UNPREDICTABLE behaviour.

2011-02-26ARM: 6768/1: hw_breakpoint: ensure debug logic is powered up on v7 coresWill Deacon
ARMv7 allows the debug core logic to be powered down and provides the DBGPRSR register so that software can power-up and check the status of the logic.

2011-02-11ARM: 6657/1: hw_breakpoint: fix ptrace breakpoint advertising on unsupported ↵Will Deacon
arch The ptrace debug information register was advertising breakpoint and watchpoint resources for unsupported debug architectures. This meant that setting breakpoints on these architectures would appear to succeed, although they would never fire in reality. This patch fixes the breakpoint slot probing so that it returns 0 when running on an unsupported debug architecture.

2011-02-11ARM: 6656/1: hw_breakpoint: avoid UNPREDICTABLE behaviour when reading DBGDSCRWill Deacon
Reading baseline CP14 registers, other than DBGDIDR, when the OS Lock is set leads to UNPREDICTABLE behaviour.

2010-12-15ARM: hw_breakpoint: do not fail initcall if monitor mode is disabledWill Deacon
The debug registers can only be manipulated from software if monitor debug mode is enabled. On some cores, this can never be enabled (i.e. the corresponding bit in the DSCR is RAZ/WI). This patch ensures we can handle this hardware configuration and fail gracefully, rather than blow up the kernel during boot.

2010-12-06ARM: hw_breakpoint: fix warnings generated by sparseWill Deacon
sparse doesn't like per-cpu accesses such as: static DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct perf_event *, foo[MAXLEN]); struct perf_event **bar = __get_cpu_var(foo); and shouts quite loudly about it: | warning: incorrect type in assignment (different modifiers) | expected struct perf_event **slots | got struct perf_event *[noderef] *<noident> This patch adds casts to these sorts of assignments in hw_breakpoint.c in order to silence the warnings.

2010-12-06ARM: hw_breakpoint: disallow per-cpu breakpoints without overflow handlerWill Deacon
Single-stepping a breakpoint requires us to disable it temporarily so that we don't get stuck in a recursive debug trap. With per-cpu breakpoints this presents a problem where an interrupt can be taken before the single-step has completed and a new task is eventually scheduled. This new task will not hit the breakpoint because it will have been disabled during the previous handling code. This patch disallows per-cpu breakpoints on ARM when an overflow handler is not present. A similar effect can be created by placing breakpoints on a shell and then running applications there. Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
2010-12-06ARM: hw_breakpoint: unify single-stepping code for watchpoints and breakpointsWill Deacon
The single-stepping code is currently different depending on whether we are stepping over a breakpoint or a watchpoint. There is no good reason for this, so let's sort it out. This patch adds functions for enabling/disabling single-step for a particular hw_breakpoint and integrates this with the exception handling code. Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
2010-12-06ARM: hw_breakpoint: do not allocate new breakpoints with preemption disabledWill Deacon
The watchpoint single-stepping code calls register_user_hw_breakpoint to register a mismatch breakpoint for stepping over the watchpoint. This is performed with preemption disabled, which is unsafe as we may end up scheduling whilst in_atomic(). Furthermore, using the perf API is rather overkill since we are already in the hw-breakpoint backend and only require access to reserved breakpoints anyway. This patch reworks the watchpoint stepping code so that we don't require another perf_event for the mismatch breakpoint. Instead, we hold a separate arch_hw_breakpoint_ctrl struct inside the watchpoint which is used exclusively for stepping. We can check whether or not stepping is enabled when installing or uninstalling the watchpoint and operate on the breakpoint accordingly. Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
2010-12-06ARM: hw_breakpoint: don't advertise reserved breakpointsWill Deacon
To permit handling of watchpoint exceptions without signalling a debugger, it is necessary to reserve breakpoint registers for in-kernel use only. This patch ensures that we record and subtract the number of reserved breakpoints from the number of usable breakpoint registers that we advertise to userspace via the ptrace API. Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
2010-12-06ARM: hw_breakpoint: disable preemption during debug exception handlingWill Deacon
On ARM, debug exceptions occur in the form of data or prefetch aborts. One difference is that debug exceptions require access to per-cpu banked registers and data structures which are not saved in the low-level exception code. For kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT, there is an unlikely scenario that the debug handler ends up running on a different CPU from the one that originally signalled the event, resulting in random data being read from the wrong registers. This patch adds a debug_entry macro to the low-level exception handling code which checks whether the taken exception is a debug exception. If it is, the preempt count for the faulting process is incremented. After the debug handler has finished, the count is decremented.

2010-12-06ARM: hw_breakpoint: correct and simplify alignment fixup codeWill Deacon
The current hw_breakpoint code tries to fix up the alignment of breakpoints so that we can make use of sparse byte-address-select bits in the control register and give the illusion that we can set breakpoints on unaligned addresses. Although this works on v6 cores, v7 forbids this behaviour, instead requiring breakpoints to be set on aligned addresses and have contiguous byte-address-select ranges depending on the instruction set in use. For ARM the only supported size is 4 bytes, whilst Thumb-2 also permits 2 byte breakpoints (watchpoints can be of 1, 2, 4 or 8 bytes long). This patch simplifies the alignment fixup code so that we require addresses to be aligned to the size of the corresponding breakpoint. This allows us to handle the common case of breaking on a half-word aligned Thumb-2 instruction and also allows us to set byte watchpoints on arbitrary addresses.

2010-12-06ARM: hw_breakpoint: reset control registers in hotplug pathWill Deacon
The ARMv7 debug architecture doesn't make any guarantees about the contents of debug control registers following a debug logic reset. This patch ensures that we reset the control registers when a cpu comes ONLINE (for example, with hotplug) so that when we enable monitor mode while inserting a breakpoint we won't exhibit random behaviour. Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
2010-12-06ARM: hw_breakpoint: ensure OS lock is clear before writing to debug registersWill Deacon
ARMv7 architects a system for saving and restoring the debug registers across low-power modes. At the heart of this system is a lock register which, when set, forbids writes to the debug registers. While locked, writes to debug registers via the co-processor interface will result in undefined instruction traps. Linux currently doesn't make use of this feature because we update the debug registers on context switch anyway, however the status of the lock is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED on reset. This patch ensures that the lock is cleared during boot so that we can write to the debug registers safely. Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

2010-09-08ARM: 6356/1: hw-breakpoint: add ARM backend for the hw-breakpoint frameworkWill Deacon
The hw-breakpoint framework in the kernel requires architecture-specific support in order to install, remove, validate and manage hardware breakpoints. This patch adds initial support for this framework to the ARM architecture, but restricts the number of watchpoints to a single resource to get around the fact that the Data Fault Address Register is unknown when a watchpoint debug exception is taken. On cores with v7 debug, the Kernel can handle breakpoint and watchpoint exceptions occuring from userspace. Older cores require clients to handle the exception themselves by registering an appropriate overflow handler or, in the case of ptrace, handling the raised SIGTRAP. The memory-mapped extended debug interface is unsupported due to its unreliability in real implementations. Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: S.
