acb5b8a2dd x86, kprobes: correct post-eip value in post_hander()
I was trying to get the address of instruction to be executed
next after the kprobed instruction.  But regs->eip in post_handler()
contains value which is useless to the user. It's pre-corrected value.
This value is difficult to use without access to resume_execution(), which
is not exported anyway.
I moved the invocation of post_handler() to *after* resume_execution().
Now regs->eip contains meaningful value in post_handler().

I do not think this change breaks any backward-compatibility.
To make meaning of the old value, post_handler() would need access to
resume_execution() which is not exported.  I have difficulty to believe
that previous, uncorrected, regs->eip can be meaningfully used in
post_handler().

5b0e508415 x86: prevent unconditional writes to DebugCtl MSR
Otherwise, enabling (or better, subsequent disabling) of single
stepping would cause a kernel oops on CPUs not having this MSR.

The patch could have been added a conditional to the MSR write in
user_disable_single_step(), but centralizing the updates seems safer
and (looking forward) better manageable.

f1452d424d x86, kprobes: remove sparse warnings from x86
arch/x86/kernel/kprobes.c:584:16: warning: symbol 'kretprobe_trampoline_holder' was not declared. Should it be static?
arch/x86/kernel/kprobes.c:676:6: warning: symbol 'trampoline_handler' was not declared. Should it be static?

Make them static and add the __used attribute, approach taken from the
arm kprobes implementation.

kretprobe_trampoline_holder uses inline assemly to define the global
symbol kretprobe_trampoline, but nothing ever calls the holder explicitly.

trampoline handler is only called from inline assembly in the same file,
mark it used and static.

fb8830e72d x86: fix singlestep handling in reenter_kprobe
Highlight peculiar cases in singles-step kprobe handling.

In reenter_kprobe(), a breakpoint in KPROBE_HIT_SS case can only occur
when single-stepping a breakpoint on which a probe was installed. Since
such probes are single-stepped inline, identifying these cases is
unambiguous. All other cases leading up to KPROBE_HIT_SS are possible
bugs. Identify and WARN_ON such cases.

f13bd3e793 x86: use wrmsrl in kprobes.c, step.c
Where x86_32 passed zero in the high 32 bits, use wrmsrl which
will zero extend for us.  This allows ifdefs for 32/64 bit to
be eliminated.

Eliminate ifdef in step.c.  Similar cleanup was done when unifying
kprobes_32|64.c and wrmsr() was chosen there over wrmsrl().  This
patch changes these to wrmsrl.

b506a9d08b x86: code clarification patch to Kprobes arch code
When developing the Kprobes arch code for ARM, I ran across some code
found in x86 and s390 Kprobes arch code which I didn't consider as
good as it could be.

Once I figured out what the code was doing, I changed the code
for ARM Kprobes to work the way I felt was more appropriate.
I've tested the code this way in ARM for about a year and would
like to push the same change to the other affected architectures.

The code in question is in kprobe_exceptions_notify() which
does:
====
          /* kprobe_running() needs smp_processor_id() */
          preempt_disable();
          if (kprobe_running() &&
              kprobe_fault_handler(args->regs, args->trapnr))
                  ret = NOTIFY_STOP;
          preempt_enable();
====

For the moment, ignore the code having the preempt_disable()/
preempt_enable() pair in it.

The problem is that kprobe_running() needs to call smp_processor_id()
which will assert if preemption is enabled.  That sanity check by
smp_processor_id() makes perfect sense since calling it with preemption
enabled would return an unreliable result.

But the function kprobe_exceptions_notify() can be called from a
context where preemption could be enabled.  If that happens, the
assertion in smp_processor_id() happens and we're dead.  So what
the original author did (speculation on my part!) is put in the
preempt_disable()/preempt_enable() pair to simply defeat the check.

Once I figured out what was going on, I considered this an
inappropriate approach.  If kprobe_exceptions_notify() is called
from a preemptible context, we can't be in a kprobe processing
context at that time anyways since kprobes requires preemption to
already be disabled, so just check for preemption enabled, and if
so, blow out before ever calling kprobe_running().  I wrote the ARM
kprobe code like this:
====
          /* To be potentially processing a kprobe fault and to
           * trust the result from kprobe_running(), we have
           * be non-preemptible. */
          if (!preemptible() && kprobe_running() &&
              kprobe_fault_handler(args->regs, args->trapnr))
                  ret = NOTIFY_STOP;
====

The above code has been working fine for ARM Kprobes for a year.
So I changed the x86 code (2.6.24-rc6) to be the same way and ran
the Systemtap tests on that kernel.  As on ARM, Systemtap on x86
comes up with the same test results either way, so it's a neutral
external functional change (as expected).

This issue has been discussed previously on linux-arm-kernel and the
Systemtap mailing lists.  Pointers to the by base for the two
discussions:

b976015637 x86: kprobes change kprobe_handler flow
Make the control flow of kprobe_handler more obvious.

Collapse the separate if blocks/gotos with if/else blocks
this unifies the duplication of the check for a breakpoint
instruction race with another cpu.

Create two jump targets:
	preempt_out: re-enables preemption before returning ret
	out: only returns ret

d6be29b871 x86: kprobes code for x86 unification
This patch unifies kprobes code.

- Unify kprobes_*.h to kprobes.h
- Unify kprobes_*.c to kprobes.c
  (Differences are separated by ifdefs)
 - Most differences are related to REX prefix and rip relatives.
 - Two inline assembly code are different.
 - One difference in kprobe_handlre()
 - One fixup exception code is different, but it will be unified
   if mm/extable_*.c are unified.
- Merge history logs into arch/x86/kernel/kprobes.c.
