Historically a lot of these existed because we did not have
a distinction between what was modular code and what was providing
support to modules via EXPORT_SYMBOL and friends. That changed
when we forked out support for the latter into the export.h file.
This means we should be able to reduce the usage of module.h
in code that is obj-y Makefile or bool Kconfig. The advantage
in doing so is that module.h itself sources about 15 other headers;
adding significantly to what we feed cpp, and it can obscure what
headers we are effectively using.
Since module.h was the source for init.h (for __init) and for
export.h (for EXPORT_SYMBOL) we consider each obj-y/bool instance
for the presence of either and replace as needed. Build testing
revealed some implicit header usage that was fixed up accordingly.
Note that some bool/obj-y instances remain since module.h is
the header for some exception table entry stuff, and for things
like __init_or_module (code that is tossed when MODULES=n).

Those are stupid and code should use static_cpu_has_safe() or
boot_cpu_has() instead. Kill the least used and unused ones.
The remaining ones need more careful inspection before a conversion can
happen. On the TODO.

The check looked wrong, although I think it was actually safe. TASK_SIZE
is unnecessarily small for compat tasks, and it wasn't possible to make
a range breakpoint so large it started in user space and ended in kernel
space.
Nonetheless, let's fix up the check for the benefit of future
readers. A breakpoint is in the kernel if either end is in the
kernel.

Code on the kprobe blacklist doesn't want unexpected int3
exceptions. It probably doesn't want unexpected debug exceptions
either. Be safe: disallow breakpoints in nokprobes code.
On non-CONFIG_KPROBES kernels, there is no kprobe blacklist. In
that case, disallow kernel breakpoints entirely.
It will be particularly important to keep hw breakpoints out of the
entry and NMI code once we move debug exceptions off the IST stack.

__get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source. One of
them is address calculation via the form &__get_cpu_var(x). This calculates
the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the current processor
based on an offset.
Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current
processors percpu area. __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when
writing data or on the right side of an assignment.
__get_cpu_var() is defined as :
#define __get_cpu_var(var) (*this_cpu_ptr(&(var)))
__get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However, store
and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global register on
other platforms) to avoid the address calculation.
this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a
percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu
variables.
This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address
calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that
use the offset. Thereby address calculations are avoided and less registers
are used when code is generated.
Transformations done to __get_cpu_var()
1. Determine the address of the percpu instance of the current processor.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
int *x = &__get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
int *x = this_cpu_ptr(&y);
2. Same as #1 but this time an array structure is involved.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y[20]);
int *x = __get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
int *x = this_cpu_ptr(y);
3. Retrieve the content of the current processors instance of a per cpu
variable.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
int x = __get_cpu_var(y)
Converts to
int x = __this_cpu_read(y);
4. Retrieve the content of a percpu struct
DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct mystruct, y);
struct mystruct x = __get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
memcpy(&x, this_cpu_ptr(&y), sizeof(x));
5. Assignment to a per cpu variable
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y)
__get_cpu_var(y) = x;
Converts to
__this_cpu_write(y, x);
6. Increment/Decrement etc of a per cpu variable
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
__get_cpu_var(y)++
Converts to
__this_cpu_inc(y)

flush_ptrace_hw_breakpoint() destroys the counters set by ptrace, but

The problem is minor, but still it doesn't look right and flush_thread()

PTRACE_DETACH does flush_ too this makes even more sense.

When a single step exception fires, the trap bits, used to
signal hardware breakpoints, are in a random state.
These trap bits might be set if another exception will follow,
like a breakpoint in the next instruction, or a watchpoint in the
previous one. Or there can be any junk there.
So if we handle these trap bits during the single step exception,
we are going to handle an exception twice, or we are going to
handle junk.
Just ignore them in this case.

Lengths and types of breakpoints are encoded in a half byte
into CPU registers. However when we extract these values
and store them, we add a high half byte part to them: 0x40 to the
length and 0x80 to the type.
When that gets reloaded to the CPU registers, the high part
is masked.
While making the instruction breakpoints available for perf,
I zapped that high part on instruction breakpoint encoding
and that broke the arch -> generic translation used by ptrace
instruction breakpoints. Writing dr7 to set an inst breakpoint
was then failing.
There is no apparent reason for these high parts so we could get
rid of them altogether. That's an invasive change though so let's
do that later and for now fix the problem by restoring that inst
breakpoint high part encoding in this sole patch.

Instruction breakpoints trigger before the instruction executes,
and returning back from the breakpoint handler brings us again
to the instruction that breakpointed. This naturally bring to
a breakpoint recursion.
To solve this, x86 has the Resume Bit trick. When the cpu flags
have the RF flag set, the next instruction won't trigger any
instruction breakpoint, and once this instruction is executed,
RF is cleared back.
This let's us jump back to the instruction that triggered the
breakpoint without recursion.
Use this when an instruction breakpoint triggers.

The current policies of breakpoints in x86 and SH are the following:
- task bound breakpoints can only break on userspace addresses
- cpu wide breakpoints can only break on kernel addresses
The former rule prevents ptrace breakpoints to be set to trigger on
kernel addresses, which is good. But as a side effect, we can't
breakpoint on kernel addresses for task bound breakpoints.
The latter rule simply makes no sense, there is no reason why we
can't set breakpoints on userspace while performing cpu bound
profiles.
We want the following new policies:
- task bound breakpoint can set userspace address breakpoints, with
no particular privilege required.
- task bound breakpoints can set kernelspace address breakpoints but
must be privileged to do that.
- cpu bound breakpoints can do what they want as they are privileged
already.
To implement these new policies, this patch checks if we are dealing
with a kernel address breakpoint, if so and if the exclude_kernel
parameter is set, we tell the user that the breakpoint is invalid,
which makes a good generic ptrace protection.
If we don't have exclude_kernel, ensure the user has the right
privileges as kernel breakpoints are quite sensitive (risk of
trap recursion attacks and global performance impacts).

We support event unthrottling in breakpoint events. It means
that if we have more than sysctl_perf_event_sample_rate/HZ,
perf will throttle, ignoring subsequent events until the next
tick.
So if ptrace exceeds this max rate, it will omit events, which
breaks the ptrace determinism that is supposed to report every
triggered breakpoints. This is likely to happen if we set
sysctl_perf_event_sample_rate to 1.
This patch removes support for unthrottling in breakpoint
events to break throttling and restore ptrace determinism.

Before we had a generic breakpoint API, ptrace was accepting
breakpoints on NULL address in x86. The new API refuse them,
without given strong reasons. We need to follow the previous
behaviour as some userspace apps like Wine need such NULL
breakpoints to ensure old emulated software protections
are still working.
This fixes a 2.6.32 - 2.6.33-x ptrace regression.

But for certain cases such as:

b) exceptions due to other causes than breakpoints

This patch rebase the implementation of the breakpoints API on top of
perf events instances.
Each breakpoints are now perf events that handle the
register scheduling, thread/cpu attachment, etc..
The new layering is now made as follows:
ptrace kgdb ftrace perf syscall
\ | / /
\ | / /
/
Core breakpoint API /
/
| /
| /
Breakpoints perf events
|
|
Breakpoints PMU ---- Debug Register constraints handling
(Part of core breakpoint API)
|
|
Hardware debug registers
Reasons of this rewrite:
- Use the centralized/optimized pmu registers scheduling,
implying an easier arch integration
- More powerful register handling: perf attributes (pinned/flexible
events, exclusive/non-exclusive, tunable period, etc...)
Impact:
- New perf ABI: the hardware breakpoints counters
- Ptrace breakpoints setting remains tricky and still needs some per
thread breakpoints references.
Todo (in the order):
- Support breakpoints perf counter events for perf tools (ie: implement
perf_bpcounter_event())
- Support from perf tools
Changes in v2:
- Follow the perf "event " rename
- The ptrace regression have been fixed (ptrace breakpoint perf events
weren't released when a task ended)
- Drop the struct hw_breakpoint and store generic fields in
perf_event_attr.
- Separate core and arch specific headers, drop
asm-generic/hw_breakpoint.h and create linux/hw_breakpoint.h
- Use new generic len/type for breakpoint
- Handle off case: when breakpoints api is not supported by an arch
Changes in v3:
- Fix broken CONFIG_KVM, we need to propagate the breakpoint api
changes to kvm when we exit the guest and restore the bp registers
to the host.
Changes in v4:
- Drop the hw_breakpoint_restore() stub as it is only used by KVM
- EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL hw_breakpoint_restore() as KVM can be built as a
module
- Restore the breakpoints unconditionally on kvm guest exit:
TIF_DEBUG_THREAD doesn't anymore cover every cases of running
breakpoints and vcpu->arch.switch_db_regs might not always be
set when the guest used debug registers.
(Waiting for a reliable optimization)
Changes in v5:
- Split-up the asm-generic/hw-breakpoint.h moving to
linux/hw_breakpoint.h into a separate patch
- Optimize the breakpoints restoring while switching from kvm guest
to host. We only want to restore the state if we have active
breakpoints to the host, otherwise we don't care about messed-up
address registers.
- Add asm/hw_breakpoint.h to Kbuild
- Fix bad breakpoint type in trace_selftest.c
Changes in v6:
- Fix wrong header inclusion in trace.h (triggered a build
error with CONFIG_FTRACE_SELFTEST

should be static
arch_check_va_in_kernelspace() and hw_breakpoint_handler() is used only by same file so it should be static.
Also fixed non-ANSI function declaration of function 'arch_uninstall_thread_hw_breakpoint'
Fixed following sparse warnings :
arch/x86/kernel/hw_breakpoint.c:124:42: warning: non-ANSI function declaration of function 'arch_uninstall_thread_hw_breakpoint'
arch/x86/kernel/hw_breakpoint.c:169:5: warning: symbol 'arch_check_va_in_kernelspace' was not declared. Should it be static?
arch/x86/kernel/hw_breakpoint.c:313:15: warning: symbol 'hw_breakpoint_handler' was not declared. Should it be static?

This patch resets the bit in dr6 after the corresponding exception is
handled in code, so that we keep a clean track of the current virtual debug
status register.

interfaces
This patch introduces the arch-specific implementation of the generic
hardware breakpoints in kernel/hw_breakpoint.c inside x86 specific directories.
It contains functions which help to validate and serve requests using
Hardware Breakpoint registers on x86 processors.
