This is the first patch which add support for user application debugging through brki rX, 0x18 vector. This patch has side effect which also remove security issue to use brki rX, 0x18 to freeze kernel. Support for old gdb support via priviledged exception (brk r0, r0) is still there. It will be remove in future. Signed-off-by: Michal Simek <monstr@monstr.eu>

We need to save instruction and the latest Microblaze shouldn't have any problem with it. Signed-off-by: Michal Simek <monstr@monstr.eu>

Syscall can be called only from userspace that's why we don't need to check which space kernel come from. Kernel syscall calling is not check and shouldn't come throught this part of code. Signed-off-by: Michal Simek <monstr@monstr.eu>

We are not working with values from MSR that's why we can discard it and use r11 for different purpose without saving/restoring. Signed-off-by: Michal Simek <monstr@monstr.eu>

Remove set_vms because UMS is cleared and VMS is already setup. Optimize function calling which save one additional instruction. Signed-off-by: Michal Simek <monstr@monstr.eu>

VMS is always setup because VM mode was before exception/syscall/interrupt. Kernel continues in kernel mode that's why we have to clear UMS bit if kernel comes from user space. Signed-off-by: Michal Simek <monstr@monstr.eu>

PT_MODE stores information if kernel comes from user or kernel space. If come from user space, PT_MODE contains 0. If come from kernel store, PT_MODE contains non zero value. We don't need to save value 1. I am using r1 register which contains non zero value. This change save one additional instruction. Signed-off-by: Michal Simek <monstr@monstr.eu>

SAVE_STATE macro could be used for user_exception or interrupt functions. Signed-off-by: Michal Simek <monstr@monstr.eu>

We don't need to save r0 to PT_R0. It could be additional operation. Signed-off-by: Michal Simek <monstr@monstr.eu>

We don't need to save R11 register. There is easy way to use only R1 which is saved and restore later. Signed-off-by: Michal Simek <monstr@monstr.eu>

Keep together all arguments for send_sig function. Move returning address to delay slot which is executed. Remove additional send_sig loading. I am using IMM part of rtbd instruction with r0. old solution: addik r11, r0, send_sig rtbd r11, 0 nop new solution: rtbd r0, send_sig nop There is one instruction saving.

It is necessary to setup BIP and EE and clear EIP only for unaligned exception handler. The rest of hw exception handlers don't require it. HW exception occured and we are not in virtual mode. That's why we can do operations protected by EIP. Interrupt, next hw exception or syscall can't occur. EIP is cleared by rted. This change speedup page_fault hw exception handler which is critical path. There is also necessary to save R11 content before flag setup for unaligned exception.

SAVE_STATE macro is used in hw exceptions high level handling functions. Hw exception doesn't disable IRQ that's why we don't need to reenable it. Signed-off-by: Michal Simek <monstr@monstr.eu>

Remove code duplicity and move it to SAVE_STATE macro. There is no impact on performance. Signed-off-by: Michal Simek <monstr@monstr.eu>

We don't need to protect by BIP whole ret_from_trap/ret_from_exc code. Only restoring from user/hw exception should be covered. If BIP is setup, IRQ can't occur. Signed-off-by: Michal Simek <monstr@monstr.eu>

There is a way howto remove Kernel Mode variable. It is easier to parse UMS bit in MSR to find out if I come from kernel or user space. Loading MSR content should be in one cycle and loading PER_CPU variable depends on memory state. Signed-off-by: Michal Simek <monstr@monstr.eu>

We can save two instruction when MSR_VMS and MSR_UMS are setup in one instruction. Signed-off-by: Michal Simek <monstr@monstr.eu>

Save and restore R3/R4 registers in macros. This change help to cleanup entry.S. In ret_from_trap function we are saving returning value from syscall to pt_regs on stack that's why we don't need to save and restore these values before kernel functions (schedule, do_signal).

_start symbol stores physical address where kernel is. Gdb uses this symbol for their purpose that's why we have to rename it. Signed-off-by: Michal Simek <monstr@monstr.eu>

Implement intelligent backtracing by searching for stack frame creation, and emitting only return addresses. Use print_hex_dump() to display the entire binary kernel stack. Limitation: MMU kernels are not currently able to trace beyond a system trap (interrupt, syscall, etc.). It is the intent of this patch to provide infrastructure that can be extended to add this capability later. Changes from V1: * Removed checks in find_frame_creation() that prevented location of the frame creation instruction in heavily optimized code * Various formatting/commenting/file location tweaks per review comments * Dropped Kconfig option to enable STACKTRACE as something logically separate Signed-off-by: Steven J.
