2015-01-13ARM: kprobes: Fix unreliable MRS instruction testsJon Medhurst (Tixy)4-19/+43
For the instruction 'mrs Rn, cpsr' the resulting value of Rn can vary due to external factors we can't control. So get the test code to mask out these indeterminate bits. Signed-off-by: Jon Medhurst <tixy@linaro.org>
2015-01-13ARM: kprobes: enable OPTPROBES for ARM 32Wang Nan4-7/+344
This patch introduce kprobeopt for ARM 32. Limitations: - Currently only kernel compiled with ARM ISA is supported. - Offset between probe point and optinsn slot must not larger than 32MiB. Masami Hiramatsu suggests replacing 2 words, it will make things complex. Futher patch can make such optimization. Kprobe opt on ARM is relatively simpler than kprobe opt on x86 because ARM instruction is always 4 bytes aligned and 4 bytes long. This patch replace probed instruction by a 'b', branch to trampoline code and then calls optimized_callback(). optimized_callback() calls opt_pre_handler() to execute kprobe handler. It also emulate/simulate replaced instruction. When unregistering kprobe, the deferred manner of unoptimizer may leave branch instruction before optimizer is called. Different from x86_64, which only copy the probed insn after optprobe_template_end and reexecute them, this patch call singlestep to emulate/simulate the insn directly. Futher patch can optimize this behavior.

2015-01-13ARM: kprobes: Add test cases for stack consuming instructionsJon Medhurst (Tixy)3-2/+36
These have extra 'checker' functions associated with them so lets make sure those get covered by testing. As they may create uninitialised space on the stack we also update the test code to ensure such space is consistent between test runs. This is done by disabling interrupts in setup_test_context().

2015-01-13ARM: kprobes: disallow probing stack consuming instructionsWang Nan2-6/+19
This patch prohibits probing instructions for which the stack requirements are unable to be determined statically. Some test cases are found not work again after the modification, this patch also removes them.

2015-01-13ARM: kprobes: collects stack consumption for store instructionsWang Nan7-6/+372
This patch uses the previously introduced checker functionality on store instructions to record their stack consumption information to arch_probes_insn. Signed-off-by: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Reviewed-by: Jon Medhurst <tixy@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Jon Medhurst <tixy@linaro.org>
2015-01-09ARM: kprobes: introduces checkerWang Nan4-3/+15
This patch introdces 'checker' to decoding phase, and calls checkers when instruction decoding. This allows further decoding for specific instructions. This patch introduces a stub call of checkers in kprobe arch_prepare_kprobe() as an example and for further expansion.

2015-01-09ARM: probes: Use correct action types for MOVW, SEV and WFIJon Medhurst1-2/+0
This doesn't correct any bugs when probing these instructions but makes MOVW slightly faster and makes everything more symmetric with the Thumb instruction cases. We can also remove the now redundant PROBES_EMULATE_NONE and PROBES_SIMULATE_NOP actions. Signed-off-by: Jon Medhurst <tixy@linaro.org>
2015-01-09ARM: probes: move all probe code to dedicate directoryWang Nan10-0/+6554
In discussion on LKML (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/11/28/158), Russell King suggests to move all probe related code to arch/arm/probes. This patch does the work. Due to dependency on 'arch/arm/kernel/patch.h', this patch also moves patch.h to 'arch/arm/include/asm/patch.h', and related '#include' directives are also midified to '#include <asm/patch.h>'.
