* ARM: 6882/1: ELF: Define new core note type for VFP registersDave Martin2011-05-141-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | The VFP registers are not currently included in coredumps, and there's no existing note type where they can sensibly be included, so this patch defines a dedicated note type for them.

* [S390] add breaking event address for user spaceMartin Schwidefsky2010-05-171-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | Copy the last breaking event address from the lowcore to a new field in the thread_struct on each system entry. Add a new ptrace request PTRACE_GET_LAST_BREAK and a new utrace regset REGSET_LAST_BREAK to query the last breaking event. This is useful for debugging wild branches in user space code.

* elf coredump: add extended numbering supportDaisuke HATAYAMA2010-03-061-1/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current ELF dumper implementation can produce broken corefiles if program headers exceed 65535. This number is determined by the number of vmas which the process have. In particular, some extreme programs may use more than 65535 vmas. (If you google max_map_count, you can find some users facing this problem.) This kind of program never be able to generate correct coredumps. This patch implements ``extended numbering'' that uses sh_info field of the first section header instead of e_phnum field in order to represent upto 4294967295 vmas. This is supported by AMD64-ABI(http://www.x86-64.org/documentation.html) and Solaris(http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-1984/). Of course, we are preparing patches for gdb and binutils.

* elf coredump: replace ELF_CORE_EXTRA_* macros by functionsDaisuke HATAYAMA2010-03-061-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | elf_core_dump() and elf_fdpic_core_dump() use #ifdef and the corresponding macro for hiding _multiline_ logics in functions. This patch removes #ifdef and replaces ELF_CORE_EXTRA_* by corresponding functions. For architectures not implemeonting ELF_CORE_EXTRA_*, we use weak functions in order to reduce a range of modification. This cleanup is for my next patches, but I think this cleanup itself is worth doing regardless of my firnal purpose.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Generic support for PTRACE_GETREGSET/PTRACE_SETREGSET commands which export the regsets supported by each architecture using the correponding NT_* types. These NT_* types are already part of the userland ABI, used in representing the architecture specific register sets as different NOTES in an ELF core file. 'addr' parameter for the ptrace system call encode the REGSET type (using the corresppnding NT_* type) and the 'data' parameter points to the struct iovec having the user buffer and the length of that buffer. struct iovec iov = { buf, len}; ret = ptrace(PTRACE_GETREGSET/PTRACE_SETREGSET, pid, NT_XXX_TYPE, &iov); On successful completion, iov.len will be updated by the kernel specifying how much the kernel has written/read to/from the user's iov.buf. x86 extended state registers are primarily exported using this interface.

| * x86, ptrace: regset extensions to support xstateSuresh Siddha2010-02-111-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add the xstate regset support which helps extend the kernel ptrace and the core-dump interfaces to support AVX state etc. This regset interface is designed to support all the future state that gets supported using xsave/xrstor infrastructure. Looking at the memory layout saved by "xsave", one can't say which state is represented in the memory layout. This is because if a particular state is in init state, in the xsave hdr it can be represented by bit '0'. And hence we can't really say by the xsave header wether a state is in init state or the state is not saved in the memory layout. And hence the xsave memory layout available through this regset interface uses SW usable bytes [464..511] to convey what state is represented in the memory layout. First 8 bytes of the sw_usable_bytes[464..467] will be set to OS enabled xstate mask(which is same as the 64bit mask returned by the xgetbv's xCR0). The note NT_X86_XSTATE represents the extended state information in the core file, using the above mentioned memory layout.

* | [S390] Define new s390 ELF note sections in elf.hMichael Holzheu2010-02-261-0/+5
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | S390 ELF core dump currently only contains the PSW, the general purpose registers, the floating point registers and the access registers stored in PRSTATUS/PRFPREG note sections. For analyzing s390 kernel problems additional registers are important. In order to be able to include these registers to a kernel ELF core dump, this patch adds the following five new note sections to elf.h: * NT_S390_TIMER: S390 timer register * NT_S390_TODCMP: S390 TOD comparator register * NT_S390_TODPREG: S390 TOD programmable register * NT_S390_CTRS: S390 control registers * NT_S390_PREFIX: S390 prefix register The new note sections have been already defined and accepted in the upstream binutils package.

| * [POWERPC] Add SPE registers to core dumpsRoland McGrath2008-02-071-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes the SPE register data appear in ELF core dumps, using the new n_type value NT_PPC_SPE (0x101). This new note type is not used by any consumers of core files yet, but support can be added. I don't even have any hardware with SPE capabilities, so I've never seen such a note. But this demonstrates how simple it is to export register information in core dumps when the user_regset style is used for the low-level code.

* [POWERPC] spufs: Cleanup ELF coredump extra notes logicMichael Ellerman2007-09-191-6/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To start with, arch_notes_size() etc. is a little too ambiguous a name for my liking, so change the function names to be more explicit. Calling through macros is ugly, especially with hidden parameters, so don't do that, call the routines directly. Use ARCH_HAVE_EXTRA_ELF_NOTES as the only flag, and based on it decide whether we want the extern declarations or the empty versions. Since we have empty routines, actually use them in the coredump code to save a few #ifdefs. We want to change the handling of foffset so that the write routine updates foffset as it goes, instead of using file->f_pos (so that writing to a pipe works). So pass foffset to the write routine, and for now just set it to file->f_pos at the end of writing. It should also be possible for the write routine to fail, so change it to return int and treat a non-zero return as failure.

* [PATCH] i386: Relocate VDSO ELF headers to match mapped location with ↵Jeremy Fitzhardinge2007-05-021-0/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | COMPAT_VDSO Some versions of libc can't deal with a VDSO which doesn't have its ELF headers matching its mapped address. COMPAT_VDSO maps the VDSO at a specific system-wide fixed address. Previously this was all done at build time, on the grounds that the fixed VDSO address is always at the top of the address space. However, a hypervisor may reserve some of that address space, pushing the fixmap address down. This patch does the adjustment dynamically at runtime, depending on the runtime location of the VDSO fixmap.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds SPU elf notes to the coredump. It creates a separate note for each of /regs, /fpcr, /lslr, /decr, /decr_status, /mem, /signal1, /signal1_type, /signal2, /signal2_type, /event_mask, /event_status, /mbox_info, /ibox_info, /wbox_info, /dma_info, /proxydma_info, /object-id. A new macro, ARCH_HAVE_EXTRA_NOTES, was created for architectures to specify they have extra elf core notes. A new macro, ELF_CORE_EXTRA_NOTES_SIZE, was created so the size of the additional notes could be calculated and added to the notes phdr entry. A new macro, ELF_CORE_WRITE_EXTRA_NOTES, was created so the new notes would be written after the existing notes. The SPU coredump code resides in spufs. Stub functions are provided in the kernel which are hooked into the spufs code which does the actual work via register_arch_coredump_calls(). A new set of __spufs_<file>_read/get() functions was provided to allow the coredump code to read from the spufs files without having to lock the SPU context for each file read from.

We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it.
