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.

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.

The DFSR and IFSR register format is different when LPAE is enabled. In

This modifies the fault code to correctly handle the new format.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The ARMv7 debug architecture doesn't make any guarantees about the
contents of debug control registers following a debug logic reset.

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.

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.
