The purpose of this single series of commits from Srivatsa S Bhat (with
a small piece from Gautham R Shenoy) touching multiple subsystems that use
CPU hotplug notifiers is to provide a way to register them that will not
lead to deadlocks with CPU online/offline operations as described in the
changelog of commit 93ae4f978c (CPU hotplug: Provide lockless versions
of callback registration functions).
The first three commits in the series introduce the API and document it
and the rest simply goes through the users of CPU hotplug notifiers and
converts them to using the new method.

below:
get_online_cpus();
for_each_online_cpu(cpu)

register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);
put_online_cpus();
This is wrong, since it is prone to ABBA deadlocks involving the
cpu_add_remove_lock and the cpu_hotplug.lock (when running concurrently
with CPU hotplug operations).
Instead, the correct and race-free way of performing the callback
registration is:
cpu_notifier_register_begin();
for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
init_cpu(cpu);
/* Note the use of the double underscored version of the API */
__register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);
cpu_notifier_register_done();
Fix the hw-breakpoint code in arm by using this latter form of callback

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
and are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
the arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
related content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get
rid of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless.
This removes all the ARM uses of the __cpuinit macros from C code,
and all __CPUINIT from assembly code. It also had two ".previous"
section statements that were paired off against __CPUINIT
(aka .section ".cpuinit.text") that also get removed here.

This patch introduces debug powerdown support for self-hosted debug for v7
and v7.1 debug architecture for a SinglePower system, i.e. a system without a
separate core and debug power domain. On a SinglePower system the OS Lock is
lost over a powerdown.
If CONFIG_CPU_PM is set the new function pm_init() registers hw_breakpoint
with CPU PM for a system supporting OS Save and Restore.
Receiving a CPU PM EXIT notifier indicates that a single CPU has exited a low
power state. A call to reset_ctrl_regs() is hooked into the CPU PM EXIT
notifier chain. This function makes sure that the sticky power-down is clear
(only v7 debug), the OS Double Lock is clear (only v7.1 debug) and it clears
the OS Lock for v7 debug (for a system supporting OS Save and Restore) and
v7.1 debug. Furthermore, it clears any vector-catch events and all
breakpoint/watchpoint control/value registers for v7 and v7.1 debug.

v7 debug introduced OS Save and Restore mechanism. On a v7 debug SinglePower
system, i.e a system without a separate core and debug power domain, which does
not support external debug over powerdown, it is implementation defined whether
OS Save and Restore is implemented.
v7.1 debug requires OS Save and Restore mechanism. v6 debug and v6.1 debug do
not implement it.
A new global variable bool has_ossr is introduced and is determined in
arch_hw_breakpoint_init() like debug_arch or the number of BRPs/WRPs.
The logic how to check if OS Save and Restore is supported has changed with
this patch. In reset_ctrl_regs() a mask consisting of OSLM[1] (OSLSR.3) and
OSLM[0] (OSLSR.0) was used to check if the system supports OS Save and
Restore. In the new function core_has_os_save_restore() only OSLM[0] is used.
It is not necessary to check OSLM[1] too since it is v7.1 debug specific and
v7.1 debug requires OS Save and Restore and thus OS Lock.

From ARM debug architecture v7.1 onwards, a watchpoint exception causes

This patch forbids watchpoints without an overflow handler from
specifying a specific access type (load/store). Those with overflow
handlers must be able to handle false positives potentially triggered by
a watchpoint of a different access type on the same address. For

Single-stepping a breakpoint requires us to disable it temporarily so that
we don't get stuck in a recursive debug trap. With per-cpu breakpoints this
presents a problem where an interrupt can be taken before the single-step has
completed and a new task is eventually scheduled. This new task will not
hit the breakpoint because it will have been disabled during the previous
handling code.

is not present. A similar effect can be created by placing breakpoints on
a shell and then running applications there.

The single-stepping code is currently different depending on whether
we are stepping over a breakpoint or a watchpoint. There is no good

Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
The watchpoint single-stepping code calls register_user_hw_breakpoint to
register a mismatch breakpoint for stepping over the watchpoint. This is
performed with preemption disabled, which is unsafe as we may end up scheduling
whilst in_atomic(). Furthermore, using the perf API is rather overkill since
we are already in the hw-breakpoint backend and only require access to reserved
breakpoints anyway.
This patch reworks the watchpoint stepping code so that we don't require
another perf_event for the mismatch breakpoint. Instead, we hold a separate
arch_hw_breakpoint_ctrl struct inside the watchpoint which is used exclusively
for stepping. We can check whether or not stepping is enabled when installing
or uninstalling the watchpoint and operate on the breakpoint accordingly.

On ARM, debug exceptions occur in the form of data or prefetch aborts.
One difference is that debug exceptions require access to per-cpu banked
registers and data structures which are not saved in the low-level exception
code. For kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT, there is an unlikely scenario
that the debug handler ends up running on a different CPU from the one
that originally signalled the event, resulting in random data being read
from the wrong registers.
This patch adds a debug_entry macro to the low-level exception handling
code which checks whether the taken exception is a debug exception. If
it is, the preempt count for the faulting process is incremented. After
the debug handler has finished, the count is decremented.

The current hw_breakpoint code tries to fix up the alignment of
breakpoints so that we can make use of sparse byte-address-select
bits in the control register and give the illusion that we can
set breakpoints on unaligned addresses.
Although this works on v6 cores, v7 forbids this behaviour, instead
requiring breakpoints to be set on aligned addresses and have contiguous
byte-address-select ranges depending on the instruction set in use.
For ARM the only supported size is 4 bytes, whilst Thumb-2 also permits
2 byte breakpoints (watchpoints can be of 1, 2, 4 or 8 bytes long).
This patch simplifies the alignment fixup code so that we require
addresses to be aligned to the size of the corresponding breakpoint.
This allows us to handle the common case of breaking on a half-word
aligned Thumb-2 instruction and also allows us to set byte watchpoints
on arbitrary addresses.

ARMv7 architects a system for saving and restoring the debug registers
across low-power modes. At the heart of this system is a lock register
which, when set, forbids writes to the debug registers. While locked,
writes to debug registers via the co-processor interface will result
in undefined instruction traps. Linux currently doesn't make use of
this feature because we update the debug registers on context switch
anyway, however the status of the lock is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED on
reset.
This patch ensures that the lock is cleared during boot so that we
can write to the debug registers safely.

The hw-breakpoint framework in the kernel requires architecture-specific
support in order to install, remove, validate and manage hardware
breakpoints.
This patch adds initial support for this framework to the ARM architecture,
but restricts the number of watchpoints to a single resource to get around
the fact that the Data Fault Address Register is unknown when a watchpoint
debug exception is taken.
On cores with v7 debug, the Kernel can handle breakpoint and watchpoint
exceptions occuring from userspace. Older cores require clients to handle
the exception themselves by registering an appropriate overflow handler
or, in the case of ptrace, handling the raised SIGTRAP.
The memory-mapped extended debug interface is unsupported due to its
unreliability in real implementations.
