This is for use by inline assembler which will be added to kprobes-arm.c It saves memory when used on newer ARM architectures and also provides correct interworking should ARM probes be required on Thumb kernels in the future.

This writes a new value to PC which was obtained as the result of an ARM ALU instruction. For ARMv7 and later this performs interworking. On ARM kernels we shouldn't encounter any ALU instructions trying to switch to Thumb mode so support for this isn't strictly necessary. However, the approach taken in all other instruction decoding is for us to avoid unpredictable modification of the PC for security reasons. This is usually achieved by rejecting insertion of probes on problematic instruction, but for ALU instructions we can't do this as it depends on the contents of the CPU registers at the time the probe is hit. So, as we require some form of run-time checking to trap undesirable PC modification, we may as well simulate the instructions correctly, i.e. in the way they would behave in the absence of a probe.

The kernel doesn't currently support VFP or Neon code, and probing of code with CP15 operations is fraught with bad consequences. So we will just reject probing these instructions. Signed-off-by: Jon Medhurst <tixy@yxit.co.uk> Acked-by: Nicolas Pitre <nicolas.pitre@linaro.org>

We reject probing of load/store exclusive instructions because any emulation routine could never succeed in gaining exclusive access as the exception framework clears the exclusivity monitor when a probes breakpoint is hit.

This patch improves the performance of LDM and STM instruction emulation. This is desirable because. - jprobes and kretprobes probe the first instruction in a function and, when the frame pointer is omitted, this instruction is often a STM used to push registers onto the stack. - The STM and LDM instructions are common in the body and tail of functions. - At the same time as being a common instruction form, they also have one of the slowest and most complicated simulation routines. The approach taken to optimisation is to use emulation rather than simulation, that is, a modified form of the instruction is run with an appropriate register context. Benchmarking on an OMAP3530 shows the optimised emulation is between 2 and 3 times faster than the simulation routines. On a Kirkwood based device the relative performance was very significantly better than this. Signed-off-by: Jon Medhurst <tixy@yxit.co.uk> Acked-by: Nicolas Pitre <nicolas.pitre@linaro.org>

The encoding of these instructions is substantially the same for both ARM and Thumb, so we can have common decoding and simulation functions. This patch moves the simulation functions from kprobes-arm.c to kprobes-common.c. It also adds a new simulation function (simulate_ldm1_pc) for the case where we load into PC because this may need to interwork. The instruction decoding is done by a custom function (kprobe_decode_ldmstm) rather than just relying on decoding table entries because we will later be adding optimisation code.

For hints which may have observable effects, like SEV (send event), we use kprobe_emulate_none which emulates the hint by executing the original instruction. For NOP we simulate the instruction using kprobe_simulate_nop, which does nothing. As probes execute with interrupts disabled this is also used for hints which may block for an indefinite time, like WFE (wait for event).

These are very rare and/or problematic to emulate so we will take the easy option and disallow probing them (as does the existing ARM implementation). Rejecting these instructions doesn't actually require any entries in the decoding table as it is the default case for instructions which aren't found.

We previously changed the behaviour of probes so that conditional instructions don't fire when the condition isn't met. For ARM branches, and Thumb branches in IT blocks, this means they don't fire if the branch isn't taken. For consistency, we implement the same for Thumb conditional branch instructions. This involves setting up insn_check_cc to point to the relevant condition checking function. As the emulation routine is only called when this condition passes, it doesn't need to check again and can unconditionally update PC.

The normal Thumb singlestepping routine updates the IT state after calling the instruction handler. We don't what this to happen after the IT instruction simulation sets the IT state, therefore we need to provide a custom singlestep routine.

These instructions are equivalent to stmdb sp!,{r0-r7,lr} ldmdb sp!,{r0-r7,pc} and we emulate them by transforming them into the 32-bit Thumb instructions stmdb r9!,{r0-r7,r8} ldmdb r9!,{r0-r7,r8} This is simpler, and almost certainly executes faster, than writing simulation functions.

Most of these instructions only operate on the low registers R0-R7 so they can make use of t16_emulate_loregs_rwflags.

These data-processing instructions operate on the full range of CPU registers, so to simulate them we have to modify the registers used by the instruction. We can't make use of the decoding table framework to do this because the registers aren't encoded cleanly in separate nibbles, therefore we need a custom decode function.
