jump_label: Rename JUMP_LABEL_{EN,DIS}ABLE to JUMP_LABEL_{JMP,NOP}

2015-08-03T09:34:12+00:00

Since we've already stepped away from ENABLE is a JMP and DISABLE is a
NOP with the branch_default bits, and are going to make it even worse,
rename it to make it all clearer.

This way we don't mix multiple levels of logic attributes, but have a
plain 'physical' name for what the current instruction patching status
of a jump label is.

This is a first step in removing the naming confusion that has led to
a stream of avoidable bugs such as:

ARM: kprobes: enable OPTPROBES for ARM 32

2015-01-13T16:10:17+00:00

This patch introduce kprobeopt for ARM 32.

Limitations:
 - Currently only kernel compiled with ARM ISA is supported.

 - Offset between probe point and optinsn slot must not larger than
   32MiB. Masami Hiramatsu suggests replacing 2 words, it will make
   things complex. Futher patch can make such optimization.

Kprobe opt on ARM is relatively simpler than kprobe opt on x86 because
ARM instruction is always 4 bytes aligned and 4 bytes long. This patch
replace probed instruction by a 'b', branch to trampoline code and then
calls optimized_callback(). optimized_callback() calls opt_pre_handler()
to execute kprobe handler. It also emulate/simulate replaced instruction.

When unregistering kprobe, the deferred manner of unoptimizer may leave
branch instruction before optimizer is called. Different from x86_64,
which only copy the probed insn after optprobe_template_end and
reexecute them, this patch call singlestep to emulate/simulate the insn
directly. Futher patch can optimize this behavior.

ARM: probes: move all probe code to dedicate directory

2015-01-09T09:36:50+00:00

In discussion on LKML (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/11/28/158), Russell
King suggests to move all probe related code to arch/arm/probes. This
patch does the work. Due to dependency on 'arch/arm/kernel/patch.h', this
patch also moves patch.h to 'arch/arm/include/asm/patch.h', and related
'#include' directives are also midified to '#include '.

Following is an overview of this patch:

arm: use fixmap for text patching when text is RO

2014-10-16T21:38:53+00:00

Use fixmaps for text patching when the kernel text is read-only,
inspired by x86.  This makes jump labels and kprobes work with the
currently available CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX and the upcoming
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA options.

ARM: 7334/1: add jump label support

2012-03-24T09:38:56+00:00

Add the arch-specific code to support jump labels for ARM and Thumb-2.

This code will only be activated on compilers that are capable of
building it.  It has been tested with GCC 4.6 patched with the patch
from GCC bug 48637.
