Catalin Marinas 79042f087b [PATCH] ARM: 2698/1: Enable kernel r/w access to user pages on ARMv6
Patch from Catalin Marinas

cpu_v6_set_pte() sets the kernel access rights to r/o for user
pages (L_PTE_USER) when neither L_PTE_WRITE nor L_PTE_DIRTY are
set. This causes a kernel data abort when writing the TLS value
in the 0xffff0000 page. This patch enables the kernel r/w access.

Patch from Deepak Saxena

Current IXP4xx debug macros do not work in the small window between
the MMU being enabled and the call to map_io() b/c the standard
peripheral mapping is not properly setup for use with the low-level
debug code. This patch creates a new section-aligned mapping for the
UART specifically for use with the debug macros.

Anil S Keshavamurthy 1674eafcbd [PATCH] Kprobes IA64: cmp ctype unc support
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.

Rusty Lynch 8bc76772ad [PATCH] Kprobes ia64 cleanup
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

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.

Anil S Keshavamurthy 7213b25218 [PATCH] Kprobes/IA64: kdebug die notification mechanism
As many of you know that kprobes exist in the main line kernel for various
architecture including i386, x86_64, ppc64 and sparc64.  Attached patches
following this mail are a port of Kprobes and Jprobes for IA64.

I have tesed this patches for kprobes and Jprobes and this seems to work fine.
 I have tested this patch by inserting kprobes on various slots and various
templates including various types of branch instructions.

I have also tested this patch using the tool
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=111657358022586&w=2 and the
kprobes for IA64 works great.

Here is list of TODO things and pathes for the same will appear soon.

1) Support kprobes on "mov r1=ip" type of instruction
2) Support Kprobes and Jprobes to exist on the same address
3) Support Return probes
3) Architecture independent cleanup of kprobes

This patch adds the kdebug die notification mechanism needed by Kprobes.

For break instruction on Branch type slot, imm21 is ignored and value
zero is placed in IIM register, hence we need to handle kprobes
for switch case zero.

Rusty Lynch 7e1048b11c [PATCH] Move kprobe [dis]arming into arch specific code
The architecture independent code of the current kprobes implementation is
arming and disarming kprobes at registration time.  The problem is that the
code is assuming that arming and disarming is a just done by a simple write
of some magic value to an address.  This is problematic for ia64 where our
instructions look more like structures, and we can not insert break points
by just doing something like:

*p->addr = BREAKPOINT_INSTRUCTION;

The following patch to 2.6.12-rc4-mm2 adds two new architecture dependent
functions:

     * void arch_arm_kprobe(struct kprobe *p)
     * void arch_disarm_kprobe(struct kprobe *p)

and then adds the new functions for each of the architectures that already
implement kprobes (spar64/ppc64/i386/x86_64).

I thought arch_[dis]arm_kprobe was the most descriptive of what was really
happening, but each of the architectures already had a disarm_kprobe()
function that was really a "disarm and do some other clean-up items as
needed when you stumble across a recursive kprobe." So...  I took the
liberty of changing the code that was calling disarm_kprobe() to call
arch_disarm_kprobe(), and then do the cleanup in the block of code dealing
with the recursive kprobe case.

So far this patch as been tested on i386, x86_64, and ppc64, but still
needs to be tested in sparc64.

Rusty Lynch 73649dab0f [PATCH] x86_64 specific function return probes
The following patch adds the x86_64 architecture specific implementation
for function return probes.

Function return probes is a mechanism built on top of kprobes that allows
a caller to register a handler to be called when a given function exits.
For example, to instrument the return path of sys_mkdir:

static int sys_mkdir_exit(struct kretprobe_instance *i, struct pt_regs *regs)
{
	printk("sys_mkdir exited\n");
	return 0;
}
static struct kretprobe return_probe = {
	.handler = sys_mkdir_exit,
};

<inside setup function>

return_probe.kp.addr = (kprobe_opcode_t *) kallsyms_lookup_name("sys_mkdir");
if (register_kretprobe(&return_probe)) {
	printk(KERN_DEBUG "Unable to register return probe!\n");
	/* do error path */
}

<inside cleanup function>
unregister_kretprobe(&return_probe);

The way this works is that:

* At system initialization time, kernel/kprobes.c installs a kprobe
  on a function called kretprobe_trampoline() that is implemented in
  the arch/x86_64/kernel/kprobes.c  (More on this later)

* When a return probe is registered using register_kretprobe(),
  kernel/kprobes.c will install a kprobe on the first instruction of the
  targeted function with the pre handler set to arch_prepare_kretprobe()
  which is implemented in arch/x86_64/kernel/kprobes.c.

* arch_prepare_kretprobe() will prepare a kretprobe instance that stores:
  - nodes for hanging this instance in an empty or free list
  - a pointer to the return probe
  - the original return address
  - a pointer to the stack address

  With all this stowed away, arch_prepare_kretprobe() then sets the return
  address for the targeted function to a special trampoline function called
  kretprobe_trampoline() implemented in arch/x86_64/kernel/kprobes.c

* The kprobe completes as normal, with control passing back to the target
  function that executes as normal, and eventually returns to our trampoline
  function.

* Since a kprobe was installed on kretprobe_trampoline() during system
  initialization, control passes back to kprobes via the architecture
  specific function trampoline_probe_handler() which will lookup the
  instance in an hlist maintained by kernel/kprobes.c, and then call
  the handler function.

* When trampoline_probe_handler() is done, the kprobes infrastructure
  single steps the original instruction (in this case just a top), and
  then calls trampoline_post_handler().  trampoline_post_handler() then
  looks up the instance again, puts the instance back on the free list,
  and then makes a long jump back to the original return instruction.

So to recap, to instrument the exit path of a function this implementation
will cause four interruptions:

  - A breakpoint at the very beginning of the function allowing us to
    switch out the return address
  - A single step interruption to execute the original instruction that
    we replaced with the break instruction (normal kprobe flow)
  - A breakpoint in the trampoline function where our instrumented function
    returned to
  - A single step interruption to execute the original instruction that
    we replaced with the break instruction (normal kprobe flow)

Hien Nguyen b94cce926b [PATCH] kprobes: function-return probes
This patch adds function-return probes to kprobes for the i386
architecture.  This enables you to establish a handler to be run when a
function returns.

1. API

Two new functions are added to kprobes:

	int register_kretprobe(struct kretprobe *rp);
	void unregister_kretprobe(struct kretprobe *rp);

2. Registration and unregistration

2.1 Register

  To register a function-return probe, the user populates the following
  fields in a kretprobe object and calls register_kretprobe() with the
  kretprobe address as an argument:

  kp.addr - the function's address

  handler - this function is run after the ret instruction executes, but
  before control returns to the return address in the caller.

  maxactive - The maximum number of instances of the probed function that
  can be active concurrently.  For example, if the function is non-
  recursive and is called with a spinlock or mutex held, maxactive = 1
  should be enough.  If the function is non-recursive and can never
  relinquish the CPU (e.g., via a semaphore or preemption), NR_CPUS should
  be enough.  maxactive is used to determine how many kretprobe_instance
  objects to allocate for this particular probed function.  If maxactive <=
  0, it is set to a default value (if CONFIG_PREEMPT maxactive=max(10, 2 *
  NR_CPUS) else maxactive=NR_CPUS)

  For example:

    struct kretprobe rp;
    rp.kp.addr = /* entrypoint address */
    rp.handler = /*return probe handler */
    rp.maxactive = /* e.g., 1 or NR_CPUS or 0, see the above explanation */
    register_kretprobe(&rp);

  The following field may also be of interest:

  nmissed - Initialized to zero when the function-return probe is
  registered, and incremented every time the probed function is entered but
  there is no kretprobe_instance object available for establishing the
  function-return probe (i.e., because maxactive was set too low).

2.2 Unregister

  To unregiter a function-return probe, the user calls
  unregister_kretprobe() with the same kretprobe object as registered
  previously.  If a probed function is running when the return probe is
  unregistered, the function will return as expected, but the handler won't
  be run.

3. Limitations

3.1 This patch supports only the i386 architecture, but patches for
    x86_64 and ppc64 are anticipated soon.

3.2 Return probes operates by replacing the return address in the stack
    (or in a known register, such as the lr register for ppc).  This may
    cause __builtin_return_address(0), when invoked from the return-probed
    function, to return the address of the return-probes trampoline.

3.3 This implementation uses the "Multiprobes at an address" feature in
    2.6.12-rc3-mm3.

3.4 Due to a limitation in multi-probes, you cannot currently establish
    a return probe and a jprobe on the same function.  A patch to remove
    this limitation is being tested.

This feature is required by SystemTap (http://sourceware.org/systemtap),
and reflects ideas contributed by several SystemTap developers, including
Will Cohen and Ananth Mavinakayanahalli.

Natalie Protasevich 701067c466 [PATCH] x86_64: avoid wasting IRQs
I suggest to change the way IRQs are handed out to PCI devices.

Currently, each I/O APIC pin gets associated with an IRQ, no matter if the
pin is used or not.  It is expected that each pin can potentually be
engaged by a device inserted into the corresponding PCI slot.  However,
this imposes severe limitation on systems that have designs that employ
many I/O APICs, only utilizing couple lines of each, such as P64H2 chipset.

It is used in ES7000, and currently, there is no way to boot the system
with more that 9 I/O APICs.

The simple change below allows to boot a system with say 64 (or more) I/O
APICs, each providing 1 slot, which otherwise impossible because of the IRQ
gaps created for unused lines on each I/O APIC.  It does not resolve the
problem with number of devices that exceeds number of possible IRQs, but
eases up a tension for IRQs on any large system with potentually large
number of devices.

I only implemented this for the ACPI boot, since if the system is this big
and using newer chipsets it is probably (better be!) an ACPI based system
:).  The change is completely "mechanical" and does not alter any internal
structures or interrupt model/implementation.  The patch works for both
i386 and x86_64 archs.  It works with MSIs just fine, and should not
intervene with implementations like shared vectors, when they get worked
out and incorporated.

To illustrate, below is the interrupt distribution for 2-cell ES7000 with
20 I/O APICs, and an Ethernet card in the last slot, which should be eth1
and which was not configured because its IRQ exceeded allowable number (it
actially turned out huge - 480!):

Even though the system doesn't have that many devices, some don't get
enabled only because of IRQ numbering model.

Not only we see the card in the last I/O APIC, but we are not even close to
using up available IRQs, since we didn't waste any.

Roland McGrath 0928d6ef7f [PATCH] x86_64: never block forced SIGSEGV
This is the x86_64 version of the signal fix I just posted for i386.

This problem was first noticed on PPC and has already been fixed there.
But the exact same issue applies to other platforms in the same way.  The
signal blocking for sa_mask and the handled signal takes place after the
handler setup.  When the stack is bogus, the handler setup forces a
SIGSEGV.  But then this will be blocked, and returning to user mode will
fault again and iterate.  This patch fixes the problem by checking whether
signal handler setup failed, and not doing the signal-blocking if so.  This
copies what was done in the ppc code.  I think all architectures' signal
handler setup code follows this pattern and needs the change.

john stultz a3a00751ad [PATCH] x86_64: fix hpet for systems that don't support legacy replacement
Currently the x86-64 HPET code assumes the entire HPET implementation from
the spec is present.  This breaks on boxes that do not implement the
optional legacy timer replacement functionality portion of the spec.

This patch fixes this issue, allowing x86-64 systems that cannot use the
HPET for the timer interrupt and RTC to still use the HPET as a time
source.  I've tested this patch on a system systems without HPET, with HPET
but without legacy timer replacement, as well as HPET with legacy timer
replacement.

This version adds a minor check to cap the HPET counter value in
gettimeoffset_hpet to avoid possible time inconsistencies.  Please ignore
the A2 version I sent to you earlier.
