* MIPS Kprobes: Support branch instructions probingManeesh Soni2011-12-071-33/+112
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch provides support for kprobes on branch instructions. The branch instruction at the probed address is actually emulated and not executed out-of-line like other normal instructions. Instead the delay-slot instruction is copied and single stepped out of line. At the time of probe hit, the original branch instruction is evaluated and the target cp0_epc is computed similar to compute_retrun_epc(). It is also checked if the delay slot instruction can be skipped, which is true if there is a NOP in delay slot or branch is taken in case of branch likely instructions. Once the delay slot instruction is single stepped the normal execution resume with the cp0_epc updated the earlier computed cp0_epc as per the branch instructions.

* MIPS Kprobes: Deny probes on ll/sc instructionsManeesh Soni2011-12-071-0/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | As ll/sc instruction are for atomic read-modify-write operations, allowing probes on top of these insturctions is a bad idea.

* MIPS Kprobes: Fix OOPS in arch_prepare_kprobe()Maneesh Soni2011-12-071-3/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes the arch_prepare_kprobe() on MIPS when it tries to find the instruction at the previous address to the probed address. The oops happens when the probed address is the first address in a kernel module and there is no previous address. The patch uses probe_kernel_read() to safely read the previous instruction.

* MIPS: kprobe: Add support.David Daney2010-08-051-0/+557
This patch is based on previous work by Sony and Himanshu Chauhan. I have done some cleanup and implemented JProbes and KRETPROBES. The KRETPROBES part is pretty much copied verbatim from powerpc. A possible future enhance might be to factor out the common code.
