exit_thread: accept a task parameter to be exited

2016-05-21T00:58:30Z

We need to call exit_thread from copy_process in a fail path. So make it accept task_struct as a parameter. [v2] * s390: exit_thread_runtime_instr doesn't make sense to be called for non-current tasks. * arm: fix the comment in vfp_thread_copy * change 'me' to 'tsk' for task_struct * now we can change only archs that actually have exit_thread [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby Cc: "David S.

xtensa: support hardware breakpoints/watchpoints

2016-03-11T08:53:32Z

Use perf framework to manage hardware instruction and data breakpoints. Add two new ptrace calls: PTRACE_GETHBPREGS and PTRACE_SETHBPREGS to query and set instruction and data breakpoints. Address bit 0 choose instruction (0) or data (1) break register, bits 31..1 are the register number. Both calls transfer two 32-bit words: address (0) and control (1). Instruction breakpoint contorl word is 0 to clear breakpoint, 1 to set. Data breakpoint control word bit 31 is 'trigger on store', bit 30 is 'trigger on load, bits 29..0 are length. Length 0 is used to clear a breakpoint. To set a breakpoint length must be a power of 2 in the range 1..64 and the address must be length-aligned. Introduce new thread_info flag: TIF_DB_DISABLED. Set it if debug exception is raised by the kernel code accessing watched userspace address and disable corresponding data breakpoint. On exit to userspace check that flag and, if set, restore all data breakpoints. Handle debug exceptions raised with PS.EXCM set. This may happen when window overflow/underflow handler or fast exception handler hits data breakpoint, in which case save and disable all data breakpoints, single-step faulting instruction and restore data breakpoints.

xtensa: add support for TLS

2013-02-24T03:35:57Z

The Xtensa architecture provides a global register called THREADPTR for the purpose of Thread Local Storage (TLS) support. This allows us to use a fairly simple implementation, keeping the thread pointer in the regset and simply saving and restoring it upon entering/exiting the from user space.

xtensa: reset windowbase/windowstart when cloning the VM

2012-10-25T21:53:36Z

When we copy a user thread with CLONE_VM, we also have to reset windowbase and windowstart to start a pristine stack frame. Otherwise, overflows can happen using the address 0 as the stack pointer. Also add a special case for vfork, which continues on the parent stack until it calls execve. Because this could be a call8, we need to spill the stack pointer of the previus frame (if still 'live' in the register file). Signed-off-by: Chris Zankel
