ARM: kprobes: Infrastructure for table driven decoding of CPU instructions
The existing ARM instruction decoding functions are a mass of if/else code. Rather than follow this pattern for Thumb instruction decoding this patch implements an infrastructure for a new table driven scheme. This has several advantages: - Reduces the kernel size by approx 2kB. (The ARM instruction decoding will eventually have -3.1kB code, +1.3kB data; with similar or better estimated savings for Thumb decoding.) - Allows programmatic checking of decoding consistency and test case coverage. - Provides more uniform source code and is therefore, arguably, clearer. For a detailed explanation of how decoding tables work see the in-source documentation in kprobes.h, and also for kprobe_decode_insn().

+/*
+ * The following definitions and macros are used to build instruction
+ * decoding tables for use by kprobe_decode_insn.
+ *
+ * These tables are a concatenation of entries each of which consist of one of
+ * the decode_* structs. All of the fields in every type of decode structure
+ * are of the union type decode_item, therefore the entire decode table can be
+ * viewed as an array of these and declared like:
+ *
+ * static const union decode_item table_name[] = {};
+ *
+ * In order to construct each entry in the table, macros are used to
+ * initialise a number of sequential decode_item values in a layout which
+ * matches the relevant struct. E.g. DECODE_SIMULATE initialise a struct
+ * decode_simulate by initialising four decode_item objects like this...
+ *
+ * {.bits = _type},
+ * {.bits = _mask},
+ * {.bits = _value},
+ * {.handler = _handler},
+ *
+ * Initialising a specified member of the union means that the compiler
+ * will produce a warning if the argument is of an incorrect type.
+ *
+ * Below is a list of each of the macros used to initialise entries and a
+ * description of the action performed when that entry is matched to an
+ * instruction. A match is found when (instruction & mask) == value.
+ *
+ * DECODE_TABLE(mask, value, table)
+ * Instruction decoding jumps to parsing the new sub-table 'table'.
+ *
+ * DECODE_CUSTOM(mask, value, decoder)
+ * The custom function 'decoder' is called to the complete decoding
+ * of an instruction.
+ *
+ * DECODE_SIMULATE(mask, value, handler)
+ * Set the probes instruction handler to 'handler', this will be used
+ * to simulate the instruction when the probe is hit. Decoding returns
+ * with INSN_GOOD_NO_SLOT.
+ *
+ * DECODE_EMULATE(mask, value, handler)
+ * Set the probes instruction handler to 'handler', this will be used
+ * to emulate the instruction when the probe is hit. The modified
+ * instruction (see below) is placed in the probes instruction slot so it
+ * may be called by the emulation code. Decoding returns with INSN_GOOD.
+ *
+ * DECODE_REJECT(mask, value)
+ * Instruction decoding fails with INSN_REJECTED
+ *
+ * DECODE_OR(mask, value)
+ * This allows the mask/value test of multiple table entries to be
+ * logically ORed. Once an 'or' entry is matched the decoding action to
+ * be performed is that of the next entry which isn't an 'or'. E.g.
+ *
+ * DECODE_OR (mask1, value1)
+ * DECODE_OR (mask2, value2)
+ * DECODE_SIMULATE (mask3, value3, simulation_handler)
+ *
+ * This means that if any of the three mask/value pairs match the
+ * instruction being decoded, then 'simulation_handler' will be used
+ * for it.
+ *
+ * Both the SIMULATE and EMULATE macros have a second form which take an
+ * additional 'regs' argument.
+ *
+ * DECODE_SIMULATEX(mask, value, handler, regs)
+ * DECODE_EMULATEX (mask, value, handler, regs)
+ *
+ * These are used to specify what kind of CPU register is encoded in each of the
+ * least significant 5 nibbles of the instruction being decoded. The regs value
+ * is specified using the REGS macro, this takes any of the REG_TYPE_* values
+ * from enum decode_reg_type as arguments; only the '*' part of the name is
+ * given. E.g.
+ *
+ * REGS(0, ANY, NOPC, 0, ANY)
+ *
+ * This indicates an instruction is encoded like:
+ *
+ * bits 19..16 ignore
+ * bits 15..12 any register allowed here
+ * bits 11.. 8 any register except PC allowed here
+ * bits 7.. 4 ignore
+ * bits 3.. 0 any register allowed here
+ *
+ * This register specification is checked after a decode table entry is found to
+ * match an instruction (through the mask/value test). Any invalid register then
+ * found in the instruction will cause decoding to fail with INSN_REJECTED. In
+ * the above example this would happen if bits 11..8 of the instruction were
+ * 1111, indicating R15 or PC.
+ *
+ * As well as checking for legal combinations of registers, this data is also
+ * used to modify the registers encoded in the instructions so that an
+ * emulation routines can use it. (See decode_regs() and INSN_NEW_BITS.)
+ *
+ * Here is a real example which matches ARM instructions of the form
+ * "AND <Rd>,<Rn>,<Rm>,<shift> <Rs>"
+ *
+ * DECODE_EMULATEX (0x0e000090, 0x00000010, emulate_rd12rn16rm0rs8_rwflags,
+ * REGS(ANY, ANY, NOPC, 0, ANY)),
+ * ^ ^ ^ ^
+ * Rn Rd Rs Rm
+ *
+ * Decoding the instruction "AND R4, R5, R6, ASL R15" will be rejected because
+ * Rs == R15
+ *
+ * Decoding the instruction "AND R4, R5, R6, ASL R7" will be accepted and the
+ * instruction will be modified to "AND R0, R2, R3, ASL R1" and then placed into
+ * the kprobes instruction slot. This can then be called later by the handler
+ * function emulate_rd12rn16rm0rs8_rwflags in order to simulate the instruction.
