* 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: kprobes: introduces checkerWang Nan2015-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introdces 'checker' to decoding phase, and calls checkers when instruction decoding. This allows further decoding for specific instructions. This patch introduces a stub call of checkers in kprobe arch_prepare_kprobe() as an example and for further expansion.

* ARM: probes: move all probe code to dedicate directoryWang Nan2015-01-09
In discussion on LKML (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/11/28/158), Russell King suggests to move all probe related code to arch/arm/probes. This patch does the work. Due to dependency on 'arch/arm/kernel/patch.h', this patch also moves patch.h to 'arch/arm/include/asm/patch.h', and related '#include' directives are also midified to '#include <asm/patch.h>'.
