* ARM: 6357/1: hw-breakpoint: add new ptrace requests for hw-breakpoint ↵Will Deacon2010-09-081-0/+239
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | interaction For debuggers to take advantage of the hw-breakpoint framework in the kernel, it is necessary to expose the API calls via a ptrace interface. This patch exposes the hardware breakpoints framework as a collection of virtual registers, accesible using PTRACE_SETHBPREGS and PTRACE_GETHBPREGS requests. The breakpoints are stored in the debug_info struct of the running thread. Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: S.

| | | | | | | | | | | This patch enables the HAVE_REGS_AND_STACK_ACCESS_API option for ARM which is required by the kprobe events tracer. Code based on the PowerPC port.

* arm: use generic ptrace_resume codeChristoph Hellwig2010-03-121-48/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use the generic ptrace_resume code for PTRACE_SYSCALL, PTRACE_CONT, PTRACE_KILL and PTRACE_SINGLESTEP. This implies defining arch_has_single_step in <asm/ptrace.h> and implementing the user_enable_single_step and user_disable_single_step functions, which also causes the breakpoint information to be cleared on fork, which could be considered a bug fix. Also the TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE thread flag is now cleared on PTRACE_KILL which it previously wasn't and the single stepping disable only happens if the tracee process isn't a zombie yet, which is consistent with all architectures using the modern ptrace code.

* ARM: vfp ptrace: no point flushing hw context for PTRACE_GETVFPREGSRussell King2010-02-151-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | If we're only reading the VFP context via the ptrace call, there's no need to invalidate the hardware context - we only need to do that on PTRACE_SETVFPREGS. This allows more efficient monitoring of a traced task. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
* ARM: ptrace: get rid of PTRACE_{PEEK,POKE}{TEXT,DATA}Russell King2010-02-151-16/+0

* nommu: ptrace supportPaul Brook2009-07-241-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | The patch below adds ARM ptrace functions to get the process load address. This is required for useful userspace debugging on mmuless systems. These values are obtained by reading magic offsets with PTRACE_PEEKUSR, as on other nommu targets. I picked arbitrary large values for the offsets. Signed-off-by: Paul Brook <paul@codesourcery.com>
* [ARM] 5387/1: Add ptrace VFP support on ARMCatalin Marinas2009-02-121-0/+58
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds ptrace support for setting and getting the VFP registers using PTRACE_SETVFPREGS and PTRACE_GETVFPREGS. The user_vfp structure defined in asm/user.h contains 32 double registers (to cover VFPv3 and Neon hardware) and the FPSCR register.

* Use helpers to obtain task pid in printks (arch code)Alexey Dobriyan2007-10-191-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One of the easiest things to isolate is the pid printed in kernel log. There was a patch, that made this for arch-independent code, this one makes so for arch/xxx files. It took some time to cross-compile it, but hopefully these are all the printks in arch code.

* [ARM] 3200/1: Singlestep over ARM BX and BLX instructions using ptrace fixNikola Valerjev2005-12-101-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch from Nikola Valerjev Single stepping an application using ptrace() fails over ARM instructions BX and BLX. Steps to reproduce: Compile and link the following files main.c ----- void foo(); int main() { foo(); return 0; } foo.s ----- .text .globl foo foo: BX LR Using ptrace() functionality, run to main(), and start singlestepping. Singlestep over \"BX LR\" instruction won\'t transfer the control back to main, but run the code to completion. This problems seems to be in the function get_branch_address() in arch/arm/kernel/ptrace.c. The function doesn\'t seem to recognize BX and BLX instructions as branches. BX and BLX instructions can be used to convert from ARM to Thumb mode if the target address has the low bit set. However, they are also perfectly legal in the ARM only mode. Although other things in the kernel seem to indicate that only ARM mode is accepted (and not Thumb), many compilers will generate BX and BLX instructions even when generating ARM only code.

* [PATCH] consolidate sys_ptrace()Christoph Hellwig2005-11-071-48/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The sys_ptrace boilerplate code (everything outside the big switch statement for the arch-specific requests) is shared by most architectures. This patch moves it to kernel/ptrace.c and leaves the arch-specific code as arch_ptrace. Some architectures have a too different ptrace so we have to exclude them. They continue to keep their implementations. For sh64 I had to add a sh64_ptrace wrapper because it does some initialization on the first call. For um I removed an ifdefed SUBARCH_PTRACE_SPECIAL block, but SUBARCH_PTRACE_SPECIAL isn't defined anywhere in the tree.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
