2009-03-27powerpc: Sanitize stack pointer in signal handling codeJosh Boyer
On powerpc64 machines running 32-bit userspace, we can get garbage bits in the stack pointer passed into the kernel. Most places handle this correctly, but the signal handling code uses the passed value directly for allocating signal stack frames. This fixes the issue by introducing a get_clean_sp function that returns a sanitized stack pointer. For 32-bit tasks on a 64-bit kernel, the stack pointer is masked correctly. In all other cases, the stack pointer is simply returned. Additionally, we pass an 'is_32' parameter to get_sigframe now in order to get the properly sanitized stack. The callers are know to be 32 or 64-bit statically. Signed-off-by: Josh Boyer <jwboyer@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2008-07-28powerpc: Add TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME support for tracehookRoland McGrath
This adds TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME support for powerpc. When set, we call tracehook_notify_resume() on the way to user mode. This overloads do_signal() to do the work, but changes its arguments to it has the TIF_* bits handy in a register and drops the useless first argument that was always zero.

2008-07-28powerpc: Call tracehook_signal_handler() when setting up signal framesRoland McGrath
This makes the powerpc signal handling code call tracehook_signal_handler() after a handler is set up. This means that using PTRACE_SINGLESTEP to enter a signal handler will report to ptrace on the first instruction of the handler, instead of the second. This is consistent with what x86 and other machines do, and what users and debuggers want. BenH: Fixed up the test for the trap value.

2008-07-28powerpc/booke: Clean up the hardware watchpoint supportKumar Gala
* CONFIG_BOOKE is selected by CONFIG_44x so we dont need both * Fixed a few comments * Go back to only using DBCR0_IDM to determine if we are using debug resources. Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2008-07-25powerpc: BookE hardware watchpoint supportLuis Machado
This patch implements support for HW based watchpoint via the DBSR_DAC (Data Address Compare) facility of the BookE processors. It does so by interfacing with the existing DABR breakpoint code and adding the necessary bits and pieces for the new bits to be properly set or cleared Signed-off-by: Luis Machado <luisgpm@br.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2008-05-14[POWERPC] Define and use TLF_RESTORE_SIGMASKRoland McGrath
Replace TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK with TLF_RESTORE_SIGMASK and define our own set_restore_sigmask() function. This saves the costly SMP-safe set_bit operation, which we do not need for the sigmask flag since TIF_SIGPENDING always has to be set too.

2007-10-12[POWERPC] Implement logging of unhandled signalsOlof Johansson
Implement show_unhandled_signals sysctl + support to print when a process is killed due to unhandled signals just as i386 and x86_64 does. Default to having it off, unlike x86 that defaults on. Signed-off-by: Olof Johansson <olof@lixom.net> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2007-06-14[POWERPC] Less ifdef's in signal.c/signal.hBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch moves things around a little bit in the new common signal.c and signal.h files to remove the last #ifdef in the middle of the common do_signal(). Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2007-06-14[POWERPC] Remove #ifdef around set_dabr in signal codeBenjamin Herrenschmidt
set_dabr() and thread.dabr exist on 32 bits as well nowadays (they actually may do something even, depending on what CPU you have). So this removes the ifdef. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2007-06-14[POWERPC] Merge creation of signal frameBenjamin Herrenschmidt
The code for creating signal frames was still duplicated and split in strange ways between 32 and 64 bits, including the SA_ONSTACK handling being in do_signal on 32 bits but inside handle_rt_signal on 64 bits etc... This moves the 64 bits get_sigframe() to the generic signal.c, cleans it a bit, moves the access_ok() call done by all callers to it as well, and adapts/cleanups the 3 different signal handling cases to use that common function.

2007-06-14[POWERPC] Remove obsolete freezer bitsBenjamin Herrenschmidt
The powerpc signal code still had some obsolete freezer bits that have long been removed from x86 (it's now done in generic code). Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2007-06-14[POWERPC] Consolidate do_signalChristoph Hellwig
do_signal has exactly the same behaviour on 32bit and 64bit and 32bit compat on 64bit for handling 32bit signals. Consolidate all these into one common function in signal.c. The only odd left over is the try_to_free in the 32bit version that no other architecture has in mainline (only in i386 for some odd SuSE release). We should probably get rid of it in a separate patch.

2007-06-14[POWERPC] Consolidate restore_sigmaskChristoph Hellwig
restore_sigmask is exactly the same on 32 and 64bit, so move it to common code. Also move _BLOCKABLE to signal.h to avoid defining it multiple times.

2007-06-14[POWERPC] Consolidate sys_sigaltstackChristoph Hellwig
sys_sigaltstack is the same on 32bit and 64 and we can consolidate it to signal.c. The only difference is that the 32bit code uses ints for the unused register paramaters and 64bit unsigned long. I've changed it to unsigned long because it's the same width on 32bit. (I also wonder who came up with this awkward calling convention.. :)) Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2007-06-14[POWERPC] Make syscall restart code more commonBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch moves the code in signal_32.c and signal_64.c for handling syscall restart into a common signal.c file and converge around a single implementation that is based on the 32 bits one, using trap, ccr and r3 rather than the special "result" field for deciding what to do. The "result" field is now pretty much deprecated. We still set it for the sake of whatever might rely on it in userland but we no longer use it's content. This, along with a previous patch that enables ptracers to write to "trap" and "orig_r3" should allow gdb to properly handle syscall restarting.
