This cleans up the PTRACE_*REGS* request code so each one is just a simple call to copy_regset_to_user or copy_regset_from_user. The ptrace layouts already match the user_regset formats (core dump formats). Signed-off-by:

This removes all the old code that is no longer used after the i387 unification and cleanup. The i387_64.h is renamed to i387.h with no changes, but since it replaces the nonempty one-line stub i387.h it looks like a big diff and not a rename. Signed-off-by:

Roland McGrath authored
This revamps the i387 code to be shared across 32-bit, 64-bit, and 32-on-64. It does so by consolidating the code in one place based on the user_regset accessor interfaces. This switches 32-bit to using the i387_64.h header and 64-bit to using the i387.c that was previously i387_32.c, but that's what took the least cleanup in each file. Here i387.h is stubbed to always include i387_64.h rather than renaming the file, to keep this diff smaller and easier to read. Signed-off-by:

This renames arch/x86/kernel/{i387_32.c => i387.c}. This is a pure renaming, but paves the way for merging the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of this code. Signed-off-by: -

This converts the ptrace/signal accessors for i387 math_emu state to the user_regset interface style, and calls these from the old interfaces. It also cleans up math_emulate's ptrace check to be a single-step check, which is what it really wants. Signed-off-by:

This moves some code into asm-x86/i387_64.h in preparation for unifying this code between 32 and 64. The 32-bit versions of some things are copied in some existing names changed to match 32-bit names and share code. For 64, save_i387 is moved into an inline from i387_64.c; this matches restore_i387, which is already an inline, and makes sense since there is exactly one caller (in signal_64.c). The save_i387 function could use more cosmetic cleanup, but it is just moved verbatim in this patch. Signed-off-by:

The i387_fxsave_struct formats really have the same layout on 32 and 64, with only some slightly different use of a few fields. The i387_fsave_struct and i387_soft_struct formats are never used by 64-bit kernels, but it doesn't hurt to have the unused types in the union and cuts down on the amount of #ifdef hair required throughout the i387 code.

This adds hard-wired definitions for the remaining cpu_has_* macros that correspond to flags required-features.h demands are set for 64-bit. Using these can efficiently avoid some #ifdef's when merging 32-bit and 64-bit code together. Signed-off-by:

This adds a generic definition of compat_sys_ptrace that calls compat_arch_ptrace, parallel to sys_ptrace/arch_ptrace. Some machines needing this already define a function by that name. The new generic function is defined only on machines that put #define __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_PTRACE into asm/ptrace.h. Signed-off-by:

Roland McGrath authored
This adds a compat_ptrace_request that is the analogue of ptrace_request for the things that 32-on-64 ptrace implementations can share in common. So far there are just a couple of requests handled generically. Signed-off-by:
-
Roland McGrath authored
This makes ptrace_request handle {PEEK,POKE}{TEXT,DATA} directly. Every arch_ptrace that could call generic_ptrace_peekdata already has a default case calling ptrace_request, so this keeps things simpler for the arch code. Signed-off-by: -
Roland McGrath authored
This defines two new inlines in linux/regset.h, for use in arch_ptrace implementations and the like. These provide simplified wrappers for using the user_regset interfaces to copy thread regset data into the caller's user-space memory. The inlines are trivial, but make the common uses in places such as ptrace implementation much more concise, easier to read, and less prone to code-copying errors. Signed-off-by:

This adds Kconfig and Makefile bits to build fs/compat_binfmt_elf.c, just added. Each arch that wants to use this file needs to add a "select COMPAT_BINFMT_ELF" line in its Kconfig bits that enable COMPAT. Signed-off-by:

Roland McGrath authored
This adds fs/compat_binfmt_elf.c, a wrapper around fs/binfmt_elf.c for 32-bit ELF support on 64-bit kernels. It can replace all the hand-rolled versions of this that each 32/64 arch has, which are all about the same. To use this, an arch's asm/elf.h has to define at least a few compat_* macros that parallel the various macros that fs/binfmt_elf.c uses for native support. There is no attempt to deal with compat macros for the core dump format support. To use this file, the arch has to define compat_gregset_t for linux/elfcore-compat.h and #define CORE_DUMP_USE_REGSET. The 32-bit compatible formats should come automatically from task_user_regset_view called on a 32-bit task. Signed-off-by:

This adds some inlines to linux/regset.h intended for arch code to use in its user_regset get and set functions. These make it pretty easy to deal with the interface's optional kernel-space or user-space pointers and its generalized access to a part of the register data at a time. In simple cases where the internal data structure matches the exported layout (core dump format), a get function can be nothing but a call to user_regset_copyout, and a set function a call to user_regset_copyin. In other cases the exported layout is usually made up of a few pieces each stored contiguously in a different internal data structure. These helpers make it straightforward to write a get or set function by processing each contiguous chunk of the data in order. The start_pos and end_pos arguments are always constants, so these inlines collapse to a small amount of code. Signed-off-by:

This modifies the ELF core dump code under #ifdef CORE_DUMP_USE_REGSET. It changes nothing when this macro is not defined. When it's #define'd by some arch header (e.g. asm/elf.h), the arch must support the user_regset (linux/regset.h) interface for reading thread state. This provides an alternate version of note segment writing that is based purely on the user_regset interfaces. When CORE_DUMP_USE_REGSET is set, the arch need not define macros such as ELF_CORE_COPY_REGS and ELF_ARCH. All that information is taken from the user_regset data structures. The core dumps come out exactly the same if arch's definitions for its user_regset details are correct. Signed-off-by:

Roland McGrath authored
This pulls out the code for writing the notes segment of an ELF core dump into separate functions. This cleanly isolates into one cluster of functions everything that deals with the note formats and the hooks into arch code to fill them. The top-level elf_core_dump function itself now deals purely with the generic ELF format and the memory segments. This only moves code around into functions that can be inlined away. It should not change any behavior at all. Signed-off-by:

The new header <linux/regset.h> defines the types struct user_regset and struct user_regset_view, with some associated declarations. This new set of interfaces will become the standard way for arch code to expose user-mode machine-specific state. A single set of entry points into arch code can do all the low-level work in one place to fill the needs of core dumps, ptrace, and any other user-mode debugging facilities that might come along in the future. For existing arch code to adapt to the user_regset interfaces, each arch can work from the code it already has to support core files and ptrace. The formats you want for user_regset are the core file formats. The only wrinkle in adapting old ptrace implementation code as user_regset get and set functions is that these functions can be called on current as well as on another task_struct that is stopped and switched out as for ptrace. For some kinds of machine state, you may have to load it directly from CPU registers or otherwise differently for current than for another thread. (Your core dump support already handles this in elf_core_copy_regs for current and elf_core_copy_task_regs for other tasks, so just check there.) The set function should also be made to work on current in case that entails some special cases, though this was never required before for ptrace. Adding this flexibility covers the arch needs to open the door to more sophisticated new debugging facilities that don't always need to context-switch to do every little thing. The copyin/copyout helper functions (in a later patch) relieve the arch code of most of the cumbersome details of the flexible get/set interfaces. Signed-off-by:

This patch moves i387 definitions from processor_32.h and processor_64.h to processor.h. They are different. Very different. And there's appearently nothing we can do about it, so they're enclosed inside ifdefs. Signed-off-by:

This patch moves the TASK_ALIGN constraints to common header. The base of it is the same for x86_64 and i386. The only difference is the presence of vSMP in x86_64. As it's not a worry in i386, we can safely use the same code for both. Signed-off-by:

Paravirt guests need to inform the underlying hypervisor whenever the sp0 tss field changes. i386 already has such a function, and we use it for x86_64 too. There's an unnecessary (for 64-bit) msr handling part in the original version, and it is placed around an ifdef. Making no more sense in processor_32.h, it is moved to the common header Signed-off-by:

Although slighly different, the tss_struct is very similar in x86_64 and i386. The really different part, which matchs the hardware vision of it, is now called x86_hw_tss, and each of the architectures provides yours. It's then used as a field in the outter tss_struct. Signed-off-by:
