Merge tag 'powerpc-4.11-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux

2017-02-22T18:30:38+00:00

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Highlights include:

   - Support for direct mapped LPC on POWER9, giving Linux direct access
     to devices that may be on there such as a UART.

   - Memory hotplug support for the Power9 Radix MMU.

   - Add new AUX vectors describing the processor's cache geometry, to
     be used by glibc.

   - The ability for a guest to ask the hypervisor to resize the guest's
     hash table, and in addition support for doing so automatically when
     memory is hotplugged into/out-of the guest. This allows the hash
     table to be sized based on the current memory usage of the guest,
     rather than the maximum possible memory usage.

   - Implementation of optprobes (kprobe optimisation) for powerpc.

  In addition there's the topic branch shared with the KVM tree, which
  includes support for guests to use the Radix MMU on Power9.

kprobes: Introduce weak variant of kprobe_exceptions_notify()

2017-02-10T03:42:49+00:00

kprobe_exceptions_notify() is not used on some of the architectures such
as arm[64] and powerpc anymore. Introduce a weak variant for such
architectures.

kprobes, extable: Identify kprobes trampolines as kernel text area

2017-01-14T07:38:05+00:00

Improve __kernel_text_address()/kernel_text_address() to return
true if the given address is on a kprobe's instruction slot
trampoline.

This can help stacktraces to determine the address is on a
text area or not.

To implement this atomically in is_kprobe_*_slot(), also change
the insn_cache page list to an RCU list.

This changes timings a bit (it delays page freeing to the RCU garbage
collection phase), but none of that is in the hot path.

Note: this change can add small overhead to stack unwinders because
it adds 2 additional checks to __kernel_text_address(). However, the
impact should be very small, because kprobe_insn_pages list has 1 entry
per 256 probes(on x86, on arm/arm64 it will be 1024 probes),
and kprobe_optinsn_pages has 1 entry per 32 probes(on x86).
In most use cases, the number of kprobe events may be less
than 20, which means that is_kprobe_*_slot() will check just one entry.

code and should not be included by common code.  Thus use the asm/ version

perf/x86/hw_breakpoints: Disallow kernel breakpoints unless kprobe-safe

2015-08-04T08:16:54+00:00

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.

kprobes: makes kprobes/enabled works correctly for optimized kprobes.

2015-02-14T05:21:42+00:00

debugfs/kprobes/enabled doesn't work correctly on optimized kprobes.
Masami Hiramatsu has a test report on x86_64 platform:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/1/19/274

This patch forces it to unoptimize kprobe if kprobes_all_disarmed is set.
It also checks the flag in unregistering path for skipping unneeded
disarming process when kprobes globally disarmed.

kprobes: set kprobes_all_disarmed earlier to enable re-optimization.

2015-02-14T05:21:42+00:00

In original code, the probed instruction doesn't get optimized after

echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/enabled
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/enabled

This is because original code checks kprobes_all_disarmed in
optimize_kprobe(), but this flag is turned off after calling that
function.  Therefore, optimize_kprobe() will see kprobes_all_disarmed ==
true and doesn't do the optimization.

This patch simply turns off kprobes_all_disarmed earlier to enable
optimization.

module: remove mod arg from module_free, rename module_memfree().

2015-01-20T01:08:33+00:00

Nothing needs the module pointer any more, and the next patch will
call it from RCU, where the module itself might no longer exist.
Removing the arg is the safest approach.

This just codifies the use of the module_alloc/module_free pattern
which ftrace and bpf use.
