Currently we mark the C implementations of some exception handlers as
__kprobes. This has the effect of putting them in the ".kprobes.text"
section, which separates them from the rest of the text.
Instead we can use the blacklist macros to add the symbols to a
blacklist which kprobes will check. This allows the linker to move
exception handler functions close to callers and avoids trampolines in
larger kernels.

When destroying a hw_breakpoint event, the kernel oopses as follows:

perf_event_exit_event()
free_event()
_free_event()
bp_perf_event_destroy() // event->destroy(event);
release_bp_slot()
arch_unregister_hw_breakpoint()
perf_event_exit_task_context() sets child_ctx->task as TASK_TOMBSTONE
which is (void *)-1. arch_unregister_hw_breakpoint() tries to fetch
'thread' attribute of 'task' resulting in oops.
Peterz points out that the code shouldn't be using bp->ctx anyway, but
fixing that will require a decent amount of rework. So for now to fix
the oops, check if bp->ctx->task has been set to (void *)-1, before
dereferencing it. We don't use TASK_TOMBSTONE, because that would
require exporting it and it's supposed to be an internal detail.

__get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source. One of
them is address calculation via the form &__get_cpu_var(x). This calculates
the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the current processor
based on an offset.
Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current
processors percpu area. __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when
writing data or on the right side of an assignment.
__get_cpu_var() is defined as :
__get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However, store
and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global register on
other platforms) to avoid the address calculation.
this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a
percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu
variables.
This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address
calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that
use the offset. Thereby address calculations are avoided and less registers
are used when code is generated.
At the end of the patch set all uses of __get_cpu_var have been removed so
the macro is removed too.
The patch set includes passes over all arches as well. Once these operations
are used throughout then specialized macros can be defined in non -x86
arches as well in order to optimize per cpu access by f.e. using a global
register that may be set to the per cpu base.
Transformations done to __get_cpu_var()
1. Determine the address of the percpu instance of the current processor.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
int *x = &__get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
int *x = this_cpu_ptr(&y);
2. Same as #1 but this time an array structure is involved.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y[20]);
int *x = __get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
int *x = this_cpu_ptr(y);
3. Retrieve the content of the current processors instance of a per cpu
variable.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
int x = __get_cpu_var(y)
Converts to
int x = __this_cpu_read(y);
4. Retrieve the content of a percpu struct
DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct mystruct, y);
struct mystruct x = __get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
memcpy(&x, this_cpu_ptr(&y), sizeof(x));
5. Assignment to a per cpu variable
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y)
__get_cpu_var(y) = x;
Converts to
__this_cpu_write(y, x);
6. Increment/Decrement etc of a per cpu variable
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
__get_cpu_var(y)++
Converts to
__this_cpu_inc(y)

+ if (!((bp->attr.bp_addr <= dar) &&

Unfortunately this is bogus as it never clears extraneous IRQ if it's already

This is a rewrite so that we don't assume we are using the DABR throughout the
code. We now use the arch_hw_breakpoint to store the breakpoint in a generic
manner in the thread_struct, rather than storing the raw DABR value.
The ptrace GET/SET_DEBUGREG interface currently passes the raw DABR in from
userspace. We keep this functionality, so that future changes (like the POWER8
DAWR), will still fake the DABR to userspace.

At present, hw_breakpoint_slots() returns 1 regardless of what
type of breakpoint is specified in the type argument. Since we
don't define CONFIG_HAVE_MIXED_BREAKPOINTS_REGS, there are
separate values for TYPE_INST and TYPE_DATA, and hw_breakpoint_slots()
returns 1 for both, effectively advertising instruction breakpoint
support which doesn't exist.
This fixes it by making hw_breakpoint_slots return 1 for TYPE_DATA
and 0 for TYPE_INST. This moves hw_breakpoint_slots() from the
powerpc hw_breakpoint.h to hw_breakpoint.c because the definitions
of TYPE_INST and TYPE_DATA aren't available in <asm/hw_breakpoint.h>.
They are defined in <linux/hw_breakpoint.h> but we can't include
that header in <asm/hw_breakpoint.h>, and nor can we rely on
<linux/hw_breakpoint.h> being included before <asm/hw_breakpoint.h>.
Since hw_breakpoint_slots() is only called at boot time, there is
no performance impact from making it a real function rather than
a static inline.

The code we had to clear the MSR_SE bit was not doing anything because
the caller (ultimately single_step_exception() in traps.c) had already
cleared. Instead of trying to leave MSR_SE set if the TIF_SINGLESTEP
flag is set (which indicates that the process is being single-stepped
by ptrace), we instead return NOTIFY_DONE in that case, which means
the caller will generate a SIGTRAP for the process.

Many a times, the requested breakpoint length can be less than the
fixed breakpoint length i.e. 8 bytes supported by PowerPC 64-bit
server (Book III S) processors. This could lead to extraneous
interrupts resulting in false breakpoint notifications. This
detects and discards such interrupts for non-ptrace requests.
We don't change ptrace behaviour to avoid breaking compatability.

A signal delivered between a hw_breakpoint_handler() and the
single_step_dabr_instruction() will not have the breakpoint active
while the signal handler is running -- the signal delivery will
set up a new MSR value which will not have MSR_SE set, so we
won't get the signal step interrupt until and unless the signal
handler returns (which it may never do).
To fix this, we restore the breakpoint when delivering a signal --
we clear the MSR_SE bit and set the DABR again. If the signal
handler returns, the DABR interrupt will occur again when the
instruction that we were originally trying to single-step gets
re-executed.

Implement perf-events based hw-breakpoint interfaces for PowerPC
64-bit server (Book III S) processors. This allows access to a
given location to be used as an event that can be counted or
profiled by the perf_events subsystem.
This is done using the DABR (data breakpoint register), which can
also be used for process debugging via ptrace. When perf_event
hw_breakpoint support is configured in, the perf_event subsystem
manages the DABR and arbitrates access to it, and ptrace then
creates a perf_event when it is requested to set a data breakpoint.
[Adopted suggestions from Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> to
- emulate_step() all system-wide breakpoints and single-step only the
per-task breakpoints
- perform arch-specific cleanup before unregistration through
