7d2a175b9b powerpc: Don't use the wrong thread_struct for ptrace get/set VSX regs
In PTRACE_GET/SETVSRREGS, we should be using the thread we are
ptracing rather than current.

4f72c4279e powerpc: Make syscall tracing use tracehook.h helpers
This changes powerpc syscall tracing to use the new tracehook.h entry
points.  There is no change, only cleanup.

In addition, the assembly changes allow do_syscall_trace_enter() to
abort the syscall without losing the information about the original

d6a61bfc06 powerpc: BookE hardware watchpoint support
This patch implements support for HW based watchpoint via the
DBSR_DAC (Data Address Compare) facility of the BookE processors.

It does so by interfacing with the existing DABR breakpoint code
and adding the necessary bits and pieces for the new bits to
be properly set or cleared

f3e909c275 powerpc: Update for VSX core file and ptrace
This correctly hooks the VSX dump into Roland McGrath core file
infrastructure.  It adds the VSX dump information as an additional elf
note in the core file (after talking more to the tool chain/gdb guys).
This also ensures the formats are consistent between signals, ptrace
and core files.

ce48b21007 powerpc: Add VSX context save/restore, ptrace and signal support
This patch extends the floating point save and restore code to use the
VSX load/stores when VSX is available.  This will make FP context
save/restore marginally slower on FP only code, when VSX is available,
as it has to load/store 128bits rather than just 64bits.

Mixing FP, VMX and VSX code will get constant architected state.

The signals interface is extended to enable access to VSR 0-31
doubleword 1 after discussions with tool chain maintainers.  Backward
compatibility is maintained.

The ptrace interface is also extended to allow access to VSR 0-31 full
registers.

VSX has 64 128bit registers.  The first 32 regs overlap with the FP
registers and hence extend them with and additional 64 bits.  The
second 32 regs overlap with the VMX registers.

This commit introduces the thread_struct changes required to reflect
this register layout.  Ptrace and signals code is updated so that the
floating point registers are correctly accessed from the thread_struct
when CONFIG_VSX is enabled.

c2372eb9bc [POWERPC] user_regset PTRACE_SETREGS regression fix
The PTRACE_SETREGS request was only recently added on powerpc,
and gdb does not use it.  So it slipped through without getting
all the testing it should have had.

The user_regset changes had a simple bug in storing to all of
the 32-bit general registers block on 64-bit kernels.  This bug
only comes up with PTRACE_SETREGS, not PPC_PTRACE_SETREGS.
It causes a BUG_ON to hit, so this fix needs to go in ASAP.

new n_type value NT_PPC_SPE (0x101).  This new note type is not used

abd0650541 [POWERPC] ptrace shouldn't touch FP exec mode
One of the gratuitous difference between 32 and 64-bit ptrace is
whether you can whack the MSR:FE0 and FE1 bits from ptrace.  This
patch forbids it unconditionally.  In addition, the 64-bit kernels
used to return the exception mode in the MSR on reads, but 32-bit
kernels didn't.  This patch makes it return those bits on both.

Finally, since ptrace-ppc32.h and ptrace-ppc64.h are mostly empty now, and
since the previous patch made ptrace32.c no longer need the MSR_DEBUGCHANGE
definition, we just remove those 2 files and move back the remaining bits
to ptrace.c (they were short lived heh ?).

e17666ba48 [POWERPC] ptrace updates & new, better requests
The powerpc ptrace interface is dodgy at best. We have defined our
"own" versions of GETREGS/SETREGS/GETFPREGS/SETFPREGS that strangely
take arguments in reverse order from other archs (in addition to having
different request numbers) and have subtle issue, like not accessing
all of the registers in their respective categories.

This patch moves the implementation of those to a separate function
in order to facilitate their deprecation in the future, and provides
new ptrace requests that mirror the x86 and sparc ones and use the
same numbers:

   PTRACE_GETREGS    : returns an entire pt_regs (the whole thing,
                       not only the 32 GPRs, though that doesn't
                       include the FPRs etc... There's a compat version
                       for 32 bits that returns a 32 bits compatible
                       pt_regs (44 uints)

   PTRACE_SETREGS    : sets an entire pt_regs (the whole thing,
                       not only the 32 GPRs, though that doesn't
                       include the FPRs etc... Some registers cannot be
                       written to and will just be dropped, this is the
                       same as with POKEUSR, that is anything above MQ
                       on 32 bits and CCR on 64 bits. There is a compat
                       version as well.

   PTRACE_GETFPREGS  : returns all the FP registers -including- the FPSCR
                       that is 33 doubles (regardless of 32/64 bits)

   PTRACE_SETFPREGS  : sets all the FP registers -including- the FPSCR
                       that is 33 doubles (regardless of 32/64 bits)

And two that only exist on 64 bits kernels:

   PTRACE_GETREGS64  : Same as PTRACE_GETREGS, except there is no compat
                       function, a 32 bits process will obtain the full 64
                       bits registers

   PTRACE_SETREGS64  : Same as PTRACE_SETREGS, except there is no compat
                       function, a 32 bits process will set the full 64
                       bits registers

The two later ones makes things easier to have a 32 bits debugger on a
64 bits program (or on a 32 bits program that uses the full 64 bits of
the GPRs, which is possible though has issues that will be fixed in a
later patch).

Finally, while at it, the patch removes a whole bunch of code duplication
between ptrace32.c and ptrace.c, in large part by having the former call
into the later for all requests that don't need any special "compat"
treatment.

acd8982848 [POWERPC] ptrace cleanups
The powerpc ptrace code has some weirdness, like a ptrace-common.h file that
is actually ppc64 only and some of the 32 bits code ifdef'ed inside ptrace.c.

There are also separate implementations for things like get/set_vrregs for
32 and 64 bits which is totally unnecessary.

This patch cleans that up a bit by having a ptrace-common.h which contains
really common code (and makes a lot more code common), and ptrace-ppc32.h and
ptrace-ppc64.h files that contain the few remaining different bits.

7d43e57764 [POWERPC] Fix ppc32 single-stepping out of syscalls
The ppc32 kernel didn't properly set/clear the TIF_SINGLESTEP
flag, causing return from syscalls to not SIGTRAP, thus executing
one more instruction before stopping again.

This fixes it.  The ptrace code is a bit of a mess, and is overdue
for at least a -proper- 32/64 bits split and possibly more cleanups
but this minimum fix should be ok for 2.6.22

cfcd1705b6 [POWERPC] Mask 32-bit system call arguments to 32 bits on PPC64 in audit code
The system call entry code will clear the high bits of argument
registers before invoking the system call; don't report whatever noise
happens to be in the high bits of the register before that happens.

94983cb788 [POWERPC] Fix PPC32 SECCOMP, unexport do_syscall_trace_{enter,leave}
The secure_computing() call which automatically aborts a process if it
tries to execute a syscall it shouldn't is much more useful if we
actually do it _before_ the syscall, rather than afterwards. PPC64 got
this right, but the original incorrect behaviour inherited from arch/ppc
was preserved by ifdefs. Make it the same on PPC32 too.

Also, I see no need to export do_syscall_trace_{leave,enter} on ppc32 --
they were only exported because the old do_syscall_trace() (which they
replaced) used to be.

98a90c0279 [PATCH] powerpc: enable PPC_PTRACE_[GS]ETREGS on ppc32
I have tested PPC_PTRACE_GETREGS and PPC_PTRACE_SETREGS on umview.

I do not understand why historically these tags has been defined as
PPC_PTRACE_GETREGS and PPC_PTRACE_SETREGS instead of simply
PTRACE_[GS]ETREGS. The other "originality" is that the address must be
put into the "addr" field instead of the "data" field as stated in the
manual.

1bd79336a4 powerpc: Fix various syscall/signal/swapcontext bugs
A careful reading of the recent changes to the system call entry/exit
paths revealed several problems, plus some things that could be
simplified and improved:

* 32-bit wasn't testing the _TIF_NOERROR bit in the syscall fast exit
  path, so it was only doing anything with it once it saw some other
  bit being set.  In other words, the noerror behaviour would apply to
  the next system call where we had to reschedule or deliver a signal,
  which is not necessarily the current system call.

* 32-bit wasn't doing the call to ptrace_notify in the syscall exit
  path when the _TIF_SINGLESTEP bit was set.

* _TIF_RESTOREALL was in both _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK and
  _TIF_PERSYSCALL_MASK, which is odd since _TIF_RESTOREALL is only set
  by system calls.  I took it out of _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK.

* On 64-bit, _TIF_RESTOREALL wasn't causing the non-volatile registers
  to be restored (unless perhaps a signal was delivered or the syscall
  was traced or single-stepped).  Thus the non-volatile registers
  weren't restored on exit from a signal handler.  We probably got
  away with it mostly because signal handlers written in C wouldn't
  alter the non-volatile registers.

* On 32-bit I simplified the code and made it more like 64-bit by
  making the syscall exit path jump to ret_from_except to handle
  preemption and signal delivery.

* 32-bit was calling do_signal unnecessarily when _TIF_RESTOREALL was
  set - but I think because of that 32-bit was actually restoring the
  non-volatile registers on exit from a signal handler.

* I changed the order of enabling interrupts and saving the
  non-volatile registers before calling do_syscall_trace_leave; now we
  enable interrupts first.

481bed4542 [PATCH] consolidate sys_ptrace()
The sys_ptrace boilerplate code (everything outside the big switch
statement for the arch-specific requests) is shared by most architectures.
This patch moves it to kernel/ptrace.c and leaves the arch-specific code as
arch_ptrace.

Some architectures have a too different ptrace so we have to exclude them.
They continue to keep their implementations.  For sh64 I had to add a
sh64_ptrace wrapper because it does some initialization on the first call.
For um I removed an ifdefed SUBARCH_PTRACE_SPECIAL block, but
SUBARCH_PTRACE_SPECIAL isn't defined anywhere in the tree.
