[RFC PATCH 0/4] ARM: add support for hw-breakpoints [v3]

[Will Deacon]

This is version 3 of the RFC patches originally posted at:

v1.) http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2010-February/009084.html
v2.) http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2010-March/011170.html

Changes from v2 include:
	- Based on 2.6.35-rc2
	- Updated to use new hw-breakpoint API features
	- Addressed some comments from Frederic on LKML
	- Complete redesign of the ptrace interface so that it
	  follows the ARM ARM (v7) register structure more closely.

Unfortunately, I've only managed to compile-test this and check that the
resulting image boots. The main reasons for posting are (a) to support
current GDB development and (b) to attract comments on the code.

All comments welcome.

[PATCH 1/4] ARM: hw-breakpoint: add mechanism for hooking into prefetch aborts

[Will Deacon]

On ARM processors with hardware breakpoint and watchpoint support,
triggering these events results in a debug exception. These manifest
as prefetch and data aborts respectively.

arch/arm/mm/fault.c already provides hook_fault_code for hooking
into data aborts dependent on the DFSR. This patch adds a new function,
hook_ifault_code for hooking into prefetch aborts in the same manner.

[PATCH 2/4] ARM: hw-breakpoint: add ARM backend for the hw-breakpoint framework

[Will Deacon]

The hw-breakpoint framework in the kernel requires architecture-specific
support in order to install, remove, validate and manage hardware
breakpoints.

This patch adds preliminary support for this framework to the ARM
architecture, but restricts the number of watchpoints to a single resource
to get around the fact that the Data Fault Address Register is unpredictable
when a watchpoint debug exception is taken.

Currently, clients must handle synchronous breakpoint exceptions.
This requires the ability to single-step over the causative instruction to
avoid getting stuck in an infinite loop.

The memory-mapped extended debug interface is unsupported due to its
unreliability in real implementations.

[PATCH 3/4] ARM: hw-breakpoint: add new ptrace requests for hw-breakpoint interaction

[Will Deacon]

For debuggers to take advantage of the hw-breakpoint framework in the kernel,
it is necessary to expose the API calls via a ptrace interface.

This patch exposes the hardware breakpoints framework as a collection of
virtual registers, accesible using PTRACE_SETHBPREGS and PTRACE_GETHBPREGS
requests. The breakpoints are stored in the debug_info struct of the running
thread.

I've managed to do some preliminary testing using the GDB work
in progress and found a few coding howlers. Rather than submit
a new patchset, I'll keep an up-to-date patch series, rebased
against the latest mainline tag here:

http://www.linux-arm.org/git?p=linux-2.6-wd.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/hw-breakpoint

Once the GDB work is complete, I'll submit v4 to this list.

Cheers,

Will
