powerpc: move debug registers in a structure

2013-10-18T23:44:49+00:00

This way we can use same data type struct with KVM and
also help in using other debug related function.

powerpc: Put FP/VSX and VR state into structures

2013-10-11T06:26:49+00:00

This creates new 'thread_fp_state' and 'thread_vr_state' structures
to store FP/VSX state (including FPSCR) and Altivec/VSX state
(including VSCR), and uses them in the thread_struct.  In the
thread_fp_state, the FPRs and VSRs are represented as u64 rather
than double, since we rarely perform floating-point computations
on the values, and this will enable the structures to be used
in KVM code as well.  Similarly FPSCR is now a u64 rather than
a structure of two 32-bit values.

This takes the offsets out of the macros such as SAVE_32FPRS,
REST_32FPRS, etc.  This enables the same macros to be used for normal
and transactional state, enabling us to delete the transactional
versions of the macros.   This also removes the unused do_load_up_fpu
and do_load_up_altivec, which were in fact buggy since they didn't
create large enough stack frames to account for the fact that
load_up_fpu and load_up_altivec are not designed to be called from C
and assume that their caller's stack frame is an interrupt frame.

powerpc: fixing ptrace_get_reg to return an error

2013-04-18T03:03:57+00:00

Currently ptrace_get_reg returns error as a value
what make impossible to tell whether it is a correct value or error code.

The patch adds a parameter which points to the real return data and
returns an error code.

As get_user_msr() never fails and it is used in multiple places so it has not
been changed by this patch.

powerpc: Hardware breakpoints rewrite to handle non DABR breakpoint registers

2013-01-10T06:01:44+00:00

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.

powerpc: Remove old powerpc specific ptrace getregs/setregs calls

2012-04-30T05:37:28+00:00

PowerPC has non standard getregs calls that only dump the GPRs or
FPRs and have their arguments reversed. commit e17666ba48f7 (ptrace
updates & new, better requests) in 2.6.3 deprecated them and introduced
more standard versions.

It's been about 5 years and I know of no users of the old calls so
lets remove them.

powerpc: Update compat_arch_ptrace

2010-12-09T04:35:32+00:00

Update compat_arch_ptrace to follow recent changes in
PTRACE_GET_DEBUGREG and the addition of
PPC_PTRACE_{GETHWDBGINFO|{SET|DEL}HWDEBUG}.  The latter three can be
forwarded to arch_ptrace unchanged.

headers: smp_lock.h redux

2009-07-12T19:22:34+00:00

* Remove smp_lock.h from files which don't need it (including some headers!)
* Add smp_lock.h to files which do need it
* Make smp_lock.h include conditional in hardirq.h
  It's needed only for one kernel_locked() usage which is under CONFIG_PREEMPT

  This will make hardirq.h inclusion cheaper for every PREEMPT=n config
  (which includes allmodconfig/allyesconfig, BTW)

powerpc: Fix ptrace compat wrapper for FPU register access

2009-04-07T05:19:00+00:00

The ptrace compat wrapper mishandles access to the fpu registers.  The
PTRACE_PEEKUSR and PTRACE_POKEUSR requests miscalculate the index into
the fpr array due to the broken FPINDEX macro.  The
PPC_PTRACE_PEEKUSR_3264 request needs to use the same formula that the
native ptrace interface uses when operating on the register number (as
opposed to the 4-byte offset).  The PPC_PTRACE_POKEUSR_3264 request
didn't take TS_FPRWIDTH into account.
