2008-02-29x86 ptrace: fix ptrace_bts_config structure declarationDave Anderson
The 2.6.25 ptrace_bts_config structure in asm-x86/ptrace-abi.h is defined with u32 types: #include <asm/types.h> /* configuration/status structure used in PTRACE_BTS_CONFIG and PTRACE_BTS_STATUS commands. */ struct ptrace_bts_config { /* requested or actual size of BTS buffer in bytes */ u32 size; /* bitmask of below flags */ u32 flags; /* buffer overflow signal */ u32 signal; /* actual size of bts_struct in bytes */ u32 bts_size; }; #endif But u32 is only accessible in asm-x86/types.h if __KERNEL__, leading to compile errors when ptrace.h is included from user-space. The double-underscore versions that are exported to user-space in asm-x86/types.h should be used instead. Signed-off-by: Dave Anderson <anderson@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-01-30x86, ptrace: add bts_struct size to status commandMarkus Metzger
Return the size of bts_struct in the PTRACE_BTS_STATUS command. Change types to u32. Signed-off-by: Markus Metzger <markus.t.metzger@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-01-30x86, ptrace: overflow signal APIMarkus Metzger
Establish the user API for sending a user-defined signal to the traced task on a BTS buffer overflow. This should complete the user API for the BTS ptrace extension. The patches so far implement wrap-around overflow handling as is needed for debugging. The remaining open is another overflow handling mechanism that sends a signal to the traced task on a buffer overflow. This will take some more time from my side. Since, from a user perspective, this occurs behind the scenes, the patch set should already be useful. More features may/will be added on top of it (overflow signal, pageable back-up buffers, kernel tracing, core file support, profiling, ...).

2008-01-30x86, ptrace: add buffer size checksMarkus Metzger
Pass the buffer size for (most) ptrace commands that pass user-allocated buffers and check that size before accessing the buffer. Unfortunately, PTRACE_BTS_GET already uses all 4 parameters. Commands that access user buffers return the number of bytes or records read or written.

2008-01-30x86, ptrace: support 32bit-cross-64bit BTS recordingMarkus Metzger

2008-01-30x86, ptrace: new ptrace BTS APIMarkus Metzger
Here's the new ptrace BTS API that supports two different overflow handling mechanisms (wrap-around and buffer-full-signal) to support two different use cases (debugging and profiling). It further combines buffer allocation and configuration. Opens: - memory rlimit - overflow signal What would be the right signal to use?

2008-01-30x86: PTRACE_SINGLEBLOCKRoland McGrath
This adds the PTRACE_SINGLEBLOCK request on x86, matching the ia64 feature. The implementation comes from the generic ptrace code and relies on the low-level machine support provided by arch_has_block_step() et al.
