efi: arm64: Add vmlinux debug link to the Image binary

2017-02-03T15:22:37+00:00

When building with debugging symbols, take the absolute path to the
vmlinux binary and add it to the special PE/COFF debug table entry.
This allows a debug EFI build to find the vmlinux binary, which is
very helpful in debugging, given that the offset where the Image is
first loaded by EFI is highly unpredictable.

On implementations of UEFI that choose to implement it, this
information is exposed via the EFI debug support table, which is a UEFI
configuration table that is accessible both by the firmware at boot time
and by the OS at runtime, and lists all PE/COFF images loaded by the
system.

The format of the NB10 Codeview entry is based on the definition used
by EDK2, which is our primary reference when it comes to the use of
PE/COFF in the context of UEFI firmware.

arm64: Set UTS_MACHINE in the Makefile

2016-08-31T11:31:38+00:00

The make rpm target depends on proper UTS_MACHINE definition.  Also, use
the variable in arch/arm64/kernel/setup.c, so that it's not accidentally
removed in the future.

arm64: Kprobes with single stepping support

2016-07-19T14:03:20+00:00

Add support for basic kernel probes(kprobes) and jump probes
(jprobes) for ARM64.

Kprobes utilizes software breakpoint and single step debug
exceptions supported on ARM v8.

A software breakpoint is placed at the probe address to trap the
kernel execution into the kprobe handler.

ARM v8 supports enabling single stepping before the break exception
return (ERET), with next PC in exception return address (ELR_EL1). The
kprobe handler prepares an executable memory slot for out-of-line
execution with a copy of the original instruction being probed, and
enables single stepping. The PC is set to the out-of-line slot address
before the ERET. With this scheme, the instruction is executed with the
exact same register context except for the PC (and DAIF) registers.

Debug mask (PSTATE.D) is enabled only when single stepping a recursive
kprobe, e.g.: during kprobes reenter so that probed instruction can be
single stepped within the kprobe handler -exception- context.
The recursion depth of kprobe is always 2, i.e. upon probe re-entry,
any further re-entry is prevented by not calling handlers and the case
counted as a missed kprobe).

Single stepping from the x-o-l slot has a drawback for PC-relative accesses
like branching and symbolic literals access as the offset from the new PC
(slot address) may not be ensured to fit in the immediate value of
the opcode. Such instructions need simulation, so reject
probing them.

Instructions generating exceptions or cpu mode change are rejected
for probing.

Exclusive load/store instructions are rejected too.  Additionally, the
code is checked to see if it is inside an exclusive load/store sequence
(code from Pratyush).

System instructions are mostly enabled for stepping, except MSR/MRS
accesses to "DAIF" flags in PSTATE, which are not safe for
probing.

This also changes arch/arm64/include/asm/ptrace.h to use
include/asm-generic/ptrace.h.

Thanks to Steve Capper and Pratyush Anand for several suggested
Changes.

arm64: add conditional instruction simulation support

2016-07-19T14:03:19+00:00

Cease using the arm32 arm_check_condition() function and replace it with
a local version for use in deprecated instruction support on arm64. Also
make the function table used by this available for future use by kprobes
and/or uprobes.

This function is derived from code written by Sandeepa Prabhu.

arm64: fix vdso-offsets.h dependency

2016-07-11T16:10:11+00:00

arm64/kernel/{vdso,signal}.c include vdso-offsets.h, as well as any
file that includes asm/vdso.h. Therefore, vdso-offsets.h must be
generated before these files are compiled.

The current rules in arm64/kernel/Makefile do not actually enforce
this, because even though $(obj)/vdso is listed as a prerequisite for
vdso-offsets.h, this does not result in the intended effect of
building the vdso subdirectory (before all the other objects). As a
consequence, depending on the order in which the rules are followed,
vdso-offsets.h is updated or not before arm64/kernel/{vdso,signal}.o
are built. The current rules also impose an unnecessary dependency on
vdso-offsets.h for all arm64/kernel/*.o, resulting in unnecessary
rebuilds. This is made obvious when using make -j:

  touch arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/gettimeofday.S && make -j$NCPUS arch/arm64/kernel

will sometimes result in none of arm64/kernel/*.o being
rebuilt, sometimes all of them, or even just some of them.

It is quite difficult to ensure that a header is generated before it
is used with recursive Makefiles by using normal rules.  Instead,
arch-specific generated headers are normally built in the archprepare
recipe in the arch Makefile (see for instance arch/ia64/Makefile).
Unfortunately, asm-offsets.h is included in gettimeofday.S, and must
therefore be generated before vdso-offsets.h, which is not the case if
archprepare is used. For this reason, a rule run after archprepare has
to be used.

This commit adds rules in arm64/Makefile to build vdso-offsets.h
during the prepare step, ensuring that vdso-offsets.h is generated
before building anything. It also removes the now-unnecessary
dependencies on vdso-offsets.h in arm64/kernel/Makefile. Finally, it
removes the duplication of asm-offsets.h between arm64/kernel/vdso/
and include/generated/ and makes include/generated/vdso-offsets.h a
target in arm64/kernel/vdso/Makefile.

Revert "arm64: Fix vdso-offsets.h dependency"

This reverts commit 90f777beb788d08300f4a1482cb4fd37a401b472.

While this commit was aimed at fixing the dependencies, with a large
make -j the vdso-offsets.h file is not generated, leading to build
failures.

arm64: Fix vdso-offsets.h dependency

2016-07-08T13:29:18+00:00

arch/arm64/kernel/{vdso,signal}.c include generated/vdso-offsets.h, and
therefore the symbol offsets must be generated before these files are
compiled.

The current rules in arm64/kernel/Makefile do not actually enforce
this, because even though $(obj)/vdso is listed as a prerequisite for
vdso-offsets.h, this does not result in the intended effect of
building the vdso subdirectory (before all the other objects). As a
consequence, depending on the order in which the rules are followed,
vdso-offsets.h is updated or not before arm64/kernel/{vdso,signal}.o
are built. The current rules also impose an unnecessary dependency on
vdso-offsets.h for all arm64/kernel/*.o, resulting in unnecessary
rebuilds.

This patch removes the arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/vdso-offsets.h file
generation, leaving only the include/generated/vdso-offsets.h one. It
adds a forced dependency check of the vdso-offsets.h file in
arch/arm64/kernel/Makefile which, if not up to date according to the
arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/Makefile rules (depending on vdso.so.dbg), will
trigger the vdso/ subdirectory build and vdso-offsets.h re-generation.
Automatic kbuild dependency rules between kernel/{vdso,signal}.c rules
and vdso-offsets.h will guarantee that the vDSO object is built first,
followed by the generated symbol offsets header file.
