linux-stable.git/arch/arm64/kernel, branch v3.13 Linux kernel stable tree arm64: ptrace: avoid using HW_BREAKPOINT_EMPTY for disabled events 2013-12-19T17:41:25+00:00 Will Deacon will.deacon@arm.com 2013-12-17T17:09:08+00:00 cdc27c27843248ae7eb0df5fc261dd004eaa5670 Commit 8f34a1da35ae ("arm64: ptrace: use HW_BREAKPOINT_EMPTY type for disabled breakpoints") fixed an issue with GDB trying to zero breakpoint control registers. The problem there is that the arch hw_breakpoint code will attempt to create a (disabled), execute breakpoint of length 0. This will fail validation and report unexpected failure to GDB. To avoid this, we treated disabled breakpoints as HW_BREAKPOINT_EMPTY, but that seems to have broken with recent kernels, causing watchpoints to be treated as TYPE_INST in the core code and returning ENOSPC for any further breakpoints. This patch fixes the problem by prioritising the `enable' field of the breakpoint: if it is cleared, we simply update the perf_event_attr to indicate that the thing is disabled and don't bother changing either the type or the length. This reinforces the behaviour that the breakpoint control register is essentially read-only apart from the enable bit when disabling a breakpoint.

Commit 8f34a1da35ae ("arm64: ptrace: use HW_BREAKPOINT_EMPTY type for
disabled breakpoints") fixed an issue with GDB trying to zero breakpoint
control registers. The problem there is that the arch hw_breakpoint code
will attempt to create a (disabled), execute breakpoint of length 0.

This will fail validation and report unexpected failure to GDB. To avoid
this, we treated disabled breakpoints as HW_BREAKPOINT_EMPTY, but that
seems to have broken with recent kernels, causing watchpoints to be
treated as TYPE_INST in the core code and returning ENOSPC for any

This patch fixes the problem by prioritising the `enable' field of the

indicate that the thing is disabled and don't bother changing either the
type or the length. This reinforces the behaviour that the breakpoint
control register is essentially read-only apart from the enable bit

arm64: kernel: add code to set cpu boot mode to secondary_entry shim 2013-12-06T17:21:51+00:00 Lorenzo Pieralisi Lorenzo.Pieralisi@arm.com 2013-11-18T18:56:42+00:00 85cc00eaa81dfa0f5bf8076c48f3ee2c2c4a77ba The refactoring of el2_setup split code setting up EL2 and detecting the CPU boot mode in separate chunks. This allows the code that sets up EL2 to run in an endian independent way - ie before the endianess is set up in the respective sctlr registers. This patch brings secondary_entry up-to-date so that CPUs entering the kernel through this code path set-up EL2 and the cpu boot mode properly.

This causes interrupts taken from EL0 to hit the (open coded) BUG when this flag is flipped while handling the interrupt (we compare the values before and after, and kill the kernel if they are different). The fix is to stop messing with the preempt count entirely, as this is already being dealt with in the generic code (irq_enter/irq_exit). Tested on a dual A53 FPGA running cyclictest.
