powerpc/64e: Fix hang when debugging programs with relocated kernel
Debug interrupts can be taken during interrupt entry, since interrupt entry does not automatically turn them off. The kernel will check whether the faulting instruction is between [interrupt_base_book3e, __end_interrupts], and if so clear MSR[DE] and return. However, when the kernel is built with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE, it can't use LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE(r14,interrupt_base_book3e) and LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE(r15,__end_interrupts), as they ignore relocation. Thus, if the kernel is actually running at a different address than it was built at, the address comparison will fail, and the exception entry code will hang at kernel_dbg_exc. r2(toc) is also not usable here, as r2 still holds data from the interrupted context, so LOAD_REG_ADDR() doesn't work either. So we use the *name@got* to get the EV of two labels directly. Test programs test.c shows as follows: int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { if (access("/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid", F_OK) == -1) printf("Kernel doesn't have perf_event support\n"); } Steps to reproduce the bug, for example: 1) ./gdb ./test 2) (gdb) b access 3) (gdb) r 4) (gdb) s Signed-off-by: Liu Hailong <liu.hailong6@zte.com.cn> Signed-off-by: Jiang Xuexin <jiang.xuexin@zte.com.cn> Reviewed-by: Jiang Biao <jiang.biao2@zte.com.cn> Reviewed-by: Liu Song <liu.song11@zte.com.cn> Reviewed-by: Huang Jian <huang.jian@zte.com.cn> [scottwood: cleaned up commit message, and specified bad behavior as a hang rather than an oops to correspond to mainline kernel behavior] Fixes: 1cb6e064 ("powerpc/book3e: support CONFIG_RELOCATABLE") Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 4.4.x- Signed-off-by: Scott Wood <oss@buserror.net>
