[PATCH v8 09/11] KVM: arm64: guest debug, HW assisted debug support

Alex Bennée
2015-07-07T16:18:58Z

This adds support for userspace to control the HW debug registers for
guest debug. In the debug ioctl we copy an IMPDEF registers into a new
register set called host_debug_state.

We use the recently introduced vcpu parameter debug_ptr to select which
register set is copied into the real registers when world switch occurs.

I've made some helper functions from hw_breakpoint.c more widely
available for re-use.

As with single step we need to tweak the guest registers to enable the
exceptions so we need to save and restore those bits.

Two new capabilities have been added to the KVM_EXTENSION ioctl to allow
userspace to query the number of hardware break and watch points
available on the host hardware.

v2
- switched to C setup
- replace host debug registers directly into context
- minor tweak to api docs
- setup right register for debug
- add FAR_EL2 to debug exit structure
- add support for trapping debug register access
v3
- remove stray trace statement
- fix spacing around operators (various)
- clean-up usage of trap_debug
- introduce debug_ptr, replace excessive memcpy stuff
- don't use memcpy in ioctl, just assign
- update cap ioctl documentation
- reword a number comments
- rename host_debug_state->external_debug_state
v4
- use the new u32/u64 split debug_ptr approach
- fix some wording/comments
v5
- don't set MDSCR_EL1.KDE (not needed)
v6
- update wording given change in commentary
- KVM_GUESTDBG_USE_HW_BP->KVM_GUESTDBG_USE_HW
v7
- fix merge conflicts from ioctl move to guest.c
- use kvm_arm_reset_debug_ptr to reset ptr
- a BUG_ON() test has been added to trap failure to reset debug_ptr
- debugging->debug in kvm_host.h comment
- s/defined// s/to// in commit msg
- rm ref to introducing debug_ptr in commit msg
- add r-b tag
v8
- add #include <asm/cputype.h> to hw_breakpoint.h
