* arm: use generic ptrace_resume codeChristoph Hellwig2010-03-131-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use the generic ptrace_resume code for PTRACE_SYSCALL, PTRACE_CONT, PTRACE_KILL and PTRACE_SINGLESTEP. This implies defining arch_has_single_step in <asm/ptrace.h> and implementing the user_enable_single_step and user_disable_single_step functions, which also causes the breakpoint information to be cleared on fork, which could be considered a bug fix. Also the TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE thread flag is now cleared on PTRACE_KILL which it previously wasn't and the single stepping disable only happens if the tracee process isn't a zombie yet, which is consistent with all architectures using the modern ptrace code.

* ARM: 5866/1: arm ptrace: use unsigned types for kernel pt_regsJamie Iles2010-01-081-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | Make registers unsigned for kernel space. This is important for example in the perf events where the PC is stored into a u64. We don't want it sign extended so make the regs unsigned to prevent casts throughout the kernel.

* nommu: ptrace supportPaul Brook2009-07-241-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | The patch below adds ARM ptrace functions to get the process load address. This is required for useful userspace debugging on mmuless systems. These values are obtained by reading magic offsets with PTRACE_PEEKUSR, as on other nommu targets. I picked arbitrary large values for the offsets. Signed-off-by: Paul Brook <paul@codesourcery.com>
* Add core support for ARMv6/v7 big-endianCatalin Marinas2009-05-301-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Starting with ARMv6, the CPUs support the BE-8 variant of big-endian (byte-invariant). This patch adds the core support: - setting of the BE-8 mode via the CPSR.E register for both kernel and user threads - big-endian page table walking - REV used to rotate instructions read from memory during fault processing as they are still little-endian format - Kconfig and Makefile support for BE-8. The --be8 option must be passed to the final linking stage to convert the instructions to little-endian Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
* Clear the IT state when invoking a Thumb-2 signal handlerCatalin Marinas2009-05-301-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | If a process is interrupted during an If-Then block and a signal is invoked, the ITSTATE bits must be cleared otherwise the handler would not run correctly. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Cc: Joseph S. Myers <joseph@codesourcery.com>
* [ARM] 5387/1: Add ptrace VFP support on ARMCatalin Marinas2009-02-121-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds ptrace support for setting and getting the VFP registers using PTRACE_SETVFPREGS and PTRACE_GETVFPREGS. The user_vfp structure defined in asm/user.h contains 32 double registers (to cover VFPv3 and Neon hardware) and the FPSCR register.

* [ARM] remove pc_pointer()Russell King2008-09-061-6/+1
| | | | | | | pc_pointer() was a function to mask the PC for 26-bit ARMs, which we no longer support. Remove it. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
* [ARM] move include/asm-arm to arch/arm/include/asmRussell King2008-08-021-0/+162
Move platform independent header files to arch/arm/include/asm, leaving those in asm/arch* and asm/plat* alone. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
