2012-01-17Kernel: Audit Support For The ARM PlatformNathaniel Husted
This patch provides functionality to audit system call events on the ARM platform. The implementation was based off the structure of the MIPS platform and information in this (http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/arm/2009-October/000382.html) mailing list thread. The required audit_syscall_exit and audit_syscall_entry checks were added to ptrace using the standard registers for system call values (r0 through r3). A thread information flag was added for auditing (TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT) and a meta-flag was added (_TIF_SYSCALL_WORK) to simplify modifications to the syscall entry/exit. Now, if either the TRACE flag is set or the AUDIT flag is set, the syscall_trace function will be executed. The prober changes were made to Kconfig to allow CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL to be enabled. Due to platform availability limitations, this patch was only tested on the Android platform running the modified "android-goldfish-2.6.29" kernel. A test compile was performed using Code Sourcery's cross-compilation toolset and the current linux-3.0 stable kernel. The changes compile without error. I'm hoping, due to the simple modifications, the patch is "obviously correct". Signed-off-by: Nathaniel Husted <nhusted@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2011-07-13ARM: kprobes: Extend arch_specific_insn to add pointer to emulated instructionJon Medhurst
When we come to emulating Thumb instructions then, to interwork correctly, the code on in the instruction slot must be invoked with a function pointer which has the least significant bit set. Rather that set this by hand in every Thumb emulation function we will add a new field for this purpose to arch_specific_insn, called insn_fn. This also enables us to seamlessly share emulation functions between ARM and Thumb code. Signed-off-by: Jon Medhurst <tixy@yxit.co.uk> Acked-by: Nicolas Pitre <nicolas.pitre@linaro.org>
2011-07-13ARM: kprobes: Add hooks to override singlestep()Jon Medhurst
When a probe fires we must single-step the instruction which was replaced by a breakpoint. As the steps to do this vary between ARM and Thumb instructions we need a way to customise single-stepping. This is done by adding a new hook called insn_singlestep to arch_specific_insn which is initialised by the instruction decoding functions. These single-step hooks must update PC and call the instruction handler. For Thumb instructions an additional step of updating ITSTATE is needed. We do this after calling the handler because some handlers will need to test if they are running in an IT block.

2011-07-13ARM: kprobes: Split out internal parts of kprobes.hJon Medhurst
Later, we will be adding a considerable amount of internal implementation definitions to kprobe header files and it would be good to have these in local header file along side the source code, rather than pollute the existing header which is include by all users of kprobes. To this end, we add arch/arm/kernel/kprobes.h and move into this the existing internal defintions from arch/arm/include/asm/kprobes.h Signed-off-by: Jon Medhurst <tixy@yxit.co.uk> Acked-by: Nicolas Pitre <nicolas.pitre@linaro.org>
2011-04-28ARM: kprobes: Fix probing of conditionally executed instructionsJon Medhurst
When a kprobe is placed onto conditionally executed ARM instructions, many of the emulation routines used to single step them produce corrupt register results. Rather than fix all of these cases we modify the framework which calls them to test the relevant condition flags and, if the test fails, skip calling the emulation code.

2008-09-01[ARM] 5206/1: remove kprobe_trap_handler() hackNicolas Pitre
As mentioned in commit 796969104cab0d454dbc792ad0d12a4f365a8564, and because of commit b03a5b7559563dafdbe52f8b5d8e453a914db941, the direct calling of kprobe_trap_handler() can be removed. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2008-08-02[ARM] move include/asm-arm to arch/arm/include/asmRussell King
Move platform independent header files to arch/arm/include/asm, leaving those in asm/arch* and asm/plat* alone. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
