These are the minimum changes to the kgdb core in order to enable an
API to connect a new front end (kdb) to the debug core.
This patch introduces the dbg_kdb_mode variable controls where the
user level I/O is routed. It will be routed to the gdbstub (kgdb) or
to the kdb front end which is a simple shell available over the kgdboc
connection.
You can switch back and forth between kdb or the gdb stub mode of
operation dynamically. From gdb stub mode you can blindly type
"$3#33", or from the kdb mode you can enter "kgdb" to switch to the
gdb stub.
The logic in the debug core depends on kdb to look for the typical gdb
connection sequences and return immediately with KGDB_PASS_EVENT if a
gdb serial command sequence is detected. That should allow a
reasonably seamless transition between kdb -> gdb without leaving the
kernel exception state. The two gdb serial queries that kdb is
responsible for detecting are the "?" and "qSupported" packets.

The ARM perf-events framework provides support for a number of different
PMUs using struct arm_pmu. The char *name field of this struct can be
used to identify the PMU, but this is cumbersome if used outside of perf.
This patch replaces the name string for a PMU with an enum, which holds
a unique ID for the PMU being represented. This ID can be used to index
an array of names within perf, so no functionality is lost. The presence
of the ID field, allows other kernel subsystems [currently oprofile] to
use their own mappings for the PMU name.

The current PMU infrastructure for ARM requires that the IRQs for the PMU
device are fixed at compile time and are selected based on the ARCH_ or MACH_ flags. This has the disadvantage of tying the Kernel down to a
particular board as far as profiling is concerned.
This patch replaces the compile-time IRQ registration with a runtime mechanism which allows the IRQs to be registered with the framework as
a platform_device.
A further advantage of this change is that there is scope for registering
different types of performance counters in the future by changing the id
of the platform_device and attaching different resources to it.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Current implementation of jprobes allocates empty pt_regs from the

in normal function prologues without CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER), stores

# mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
# echo PANIC > /sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/INT_HW_IRQ_EN
after this, it fails with corrupted registers (before the requested crash would occur):

Use the generic ptrace_resume code for PTRACE_SYSCALL, PTRACE_CONT,

arch_has_single_step in <asm/ptrace.h> and implementing the
user_enable_single_step and user_disable_single_step functions, which also
causes the breakpoint information to be cleared on fork, which could be
considered a bug fix.
Also the TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE thread flag is now cleared on PTRACE_KILL which
it previously wasn't and the single stepping disable only happens if the
tracee process isn't a zombie yet, which is consistent with all

Add a generic implementation of the ipc demultiplexer syscall. Except for
s390 and sparc64 all implementations of the sys_ipc are nearly identical.
There are slight differences in the types of the parameters, where mips
and powerpc as the only 64-bit architectures with sys_ipc use unsigned
long for the "third" argument as it gets casted to a pointer later, while
it traditionally is an "int" like most other paramters. frv goes even
further and uses unsigned long for all parameters execept for "ptr" which
is a pointer type everywhere. The change from int to unsigned long for
"third" and back to "int" for the others on frv should be fine due to the
in-register calling conventions for syscalls (we already had a similar
issue with the generic sys_ptrace), but I'd prefer to have the arch
maintainers looks over this in details.
Except for that h8300, m68k and m68knommu lack an impplementation of the
semtimedop sub call which this patch adds, and various architectures have
gets used - at least on i386 it seems superflous as the compat code on
x86-64 and ia64 doesn't even bother to implement it.

Change to the former, so that we can eventually share with the fdt
code.

Kernel debuggers want to be informed of die() events, so that they
can take some action to allow the problem to be inspected. Provide
the hook in a similar manner to x86.
Note that we currently don't implement the individual trap hooks.

The ARM setup code includes its own parser for early params, there's
also one in the generic init code.
This patch removes __early_init (and related code) from
arch/arm/kernel/setup.c, and changes users to the generic early_init
macro instead.
The generic macro takes a char * argument, rather than char **, so we
need to update the parser functions a little.

Always creating this directory avoids other users having to jump

All RTC drivers have been converted to rtclib, so the old code
providing the set_rtc function pointer, save_time_delta() and
restore_time_delta() functions is obsolete. Remove it.

Otherwise more complicated uart configuration won't be possible.
We can use r1 for tmp register for both head.S and debug.S.
NOTE: This patch depends on another patch to add the the tmp register
into all debug-macro.S files. That can be done with:
$ sed -i -e "s/addruart,rx|addruart, rx/addruart, rx, tmp/"
arch/arm/*/include/*/debug-macro.S

Adds the Performance Events support for ARMv7 processor, using
the PMNC unit in HW.
Supports the following:
- Cortex-A8 and Cortex-A9 processors,
- dynamic detection of the number of available counters,
based on the PMCR value,
- runtime detection of the CPU arch (v6 or v7)
and model (Cortex-A8 or Cortex-A9)
Tested on OMAP3 (Cortex-A8) only.

This patch implements support for ARMv6 performance counters in the
Linux performance events subsystem. ARMv6 architectures that have the
performance counters should enable HW_PERF_EVENTS to get hardware
performance events support in addition to the software events.
Note: only ARM Ltd ARM cores are supported.
This implementation also provides an ARM PMU abstraction layer to allow
ARMv7 and others to be supported in the future by adding new a
'struct arm_pmu'.

To add support for perf events and to allow the hardware counters to be
shared with oprofile, we need a way to reserve access to the pmu
(performance monitor unit). Platforms with PMU interrupts should
register the interrupts in arch/arm/kernel/pmu.c

Without this patch arch/arm/compressed/head.S defaults to generic
DCC code that does not work for v7.
For more information on the v7 DCC, see Cortex-A8 TRM
"12.11.1 Debug communications channel".
To use it with post 2.6.33-rc1 or later, you need to have:
CONFIG_DEBUG_LL=y
ONFIG_DEBUG_ICEDCC=y
CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK=y
Earlier kernels need commit 93fd03a8c6
backported.
Tested on omap3430.

This reverts commit 14f0aa3593.
That commit was needed earlier because system call restarting for
OABI (compat) required an executable stack and thus had problems
with NX. Since ab72b00734 ("ARM: Fix signal restart issues
with NX and OABI compat") has reworked the code to not require an
executable stack anymore, we can re-enable NX support for kernels
with OABI (compat) support.
