* ARM: optprobes: execute instruction during restoring if possible.Wang Nan2015-01-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes software emulation or simulation for most of probed instructions. If the instruction doesn't use PC relative addressing, it will be translated into following instructions in the restore code in code template: ldmia {r0 - r14} // restore all instruction except PC <instruction> // direct execute the probed instruction b next_insn // branch to next instruction.

* ARM: kprobes: enable OPTPROBES for ARM 32Wang Nan2015-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduce kprobeopt for ARM 32. Limitations: - Currently only kernel compiled with ARM ISA is supported. - Offset between probe point and optinsn slot must not larger than 32MiB. Masami Hiramatsu suggests replacing 2 words, it will make things complex. Futher patch can make such optimization. Kprobe opt on ARM is relatively simpler than kprobe opt on x86 because ARM instruction is always 4 bytes aligned and 4 bytes long. This patch replace probed instruction by a 'b', branch to trampoline code and then calls optimized_callback(). optimized_callback() calls opt_pre_handler() to execute kprobe handler. It also emulate/simulate replaced instruction. When unregistering kprobe, the deferred manner of unoptimizer may leave branch instruction before optimizer is called. Different from x86_64, which only copy the probed insn after optprobe_template_end and reexecute them, this patch call singlestep to emulate/simulate the insn directly. Futher patch can optimize this behavior.

* ARM: kprobes: disallow probing stack consuming instructionsWang Nan2015-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch prohibits probing instructions for which the stack requirements are unable to be determined statically. Some test cases are found not work again after the modification, this patch also removes them.

* ARM: Make arch_specific_insn a define for new arch_probes_insn structureDavid A. Long2014-03-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because the common underlying code for ARM kprobes and uprobes needs to share a common architecrure-specific context structure, and because the generic kprobes include file insists on defining this to a dummy structure when kprobes is not configured, a new common structure is required which can exist when uprobes is configured without kprobes. In this case kprobes will define a dummy structure, but without the define aliasing the two structure tags it will not affect uprobes and the shared probes code. Signed-off-by: David A.

* Kernel: Audit Support For The ARM PlatformNathaniel Husted2012-01-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch provides functionality to audit system call events on the ARM platform. The implementation was based off the structure of the MIPS platform and information in this (http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/arm/2009-October/000382.html) mailing list thread. The required audit_syscall_exit and audit_syscall_entry checks were added to ptrace using the standard registers for system call values (r0 through r3). A thread information flag was added for auditing (TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT) and a meta-flag was added (_TIF_SYSCALL_WORK) to simplify modifications to the syscall entry/exit. Now, if either the TRACE flag is set or the AUDIT flag is set, the syscall_trace function will be executed. The prober changes were made to Kconfig to allow CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL to be enabled. Due to platform availability limitations, this patch was only tested on the Android platform running the modified "android-goldfish-2.6.29" kernel. A test compile was performed using Code Sourcery's cross-compilation toolset and the current linux-3.0 stable kernel. The changes compile without error. I'm hoping, due to the simple modifications, the patch is "obviously correct". Signed-off-by: Nathaniel Husted <nhusted@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
* ARM: kprobes: Extend arch_specific_insn to add pointer to emulated instructionJon Medhurst2011-07-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we come to emulating Thumb instructions then, to interwork correctly, the code on in the instruction slot must be invoked with a function pointer which has the least significant bit set. Rather that set this by hand in every Thumb emulation function we will add a new field for this purpose to arch_specific_insn, called insn_fn. This also enables us to seamlessly share emulation functions between ARM and Thumb code. Signed-off-by: Jon Medhurst <tixy@yxit.co.uk> Acked-by: Nicolas Pitre <nicolas.pitre@linaro.org>
* ARM: kprobes: Add hooks to override singlestep()Jon Medhurst2011-07-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a probe fires we must single-step the instruction which was replaced by a breakpoint. As the steps to do this vary between ARM and Thumb instructions we need a way to customise single-stepping. This is done by adding a new hook called insn_singlestep to arch_specific_insn which is initialised by the instruction decoding functions. These single-step hooks must update PC and call the instruction handler. For Thumb instructions an additional step of updating ITSTATE is needed. We do this after calling the handler because some handlers will need to test if they are running in an IT block.

* ARM: kprobes: Split out internal parts of kprobes.hJon Medhurst2011-07-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Later, we will be adding a considerable amount of internal implementation definitions to kprobe header files and it would be good to have these in local header file along side the source code, rather than pollute the existing header which is include by all users of kprobes. To this end, we add arch/arm/kernel/kprobes.h and move into this the existing internal defintions from arch/arm/include/asm/kprobes.h Signed-off-by: Jon Medhurst <tixy@yxit.co.uk> Acked-by: Nicolas Pitre <nicolas.pitre@linaro.org>
* ARM: kprobes: Fix probing of conditionally executed instructionsJon Medhurst2011-04-28
| | | | | | | | | | | When a kprobe is placed onto conditionally executed ARM instructions, many of the emulation routines used to single step them produce corrupt register results. Rather than fix all of these cases we modify the framework which calls them to test the relevant condition flags and, if the test fails, skip calling the emulation code.
