Here is a patch to the 2.4.2 kernel that provides interfaces to allocate and
free debug registers. This enables the debug registers to be treated as a
resource that can shared among multiple facilities, without unexpected
behaviour when two facilities are active at the same time.
int dr_alloc(int dr_num_requested, int local_or_global)
int dr_free(int dr_num)
This patch helps coordinate the allocation of hardware debug registers amongst
multiple debugging facilities, kernel space as well as user space. The
interfaces provided can be used to allocate debug registers for both "local"
(process-context specific) usage, applied via ptrace by user mode debuggers
like gdb, as well as for "global" usage by kernel debugging facilities. Debug
registers allocated for local usage can be allocated to multiple processes
where as those allocated for global usage can be allocated only to one debug
facility at a time. We ensure that global debug register settings are
preserved across context switches.
NOTE: The patch, at present is minimalist in nature. It only facilitates
different debug tools in selecting debug register(s) that are not in use.
It is currently up to the debug tools themselves to handle the actual updates
to the registers, propagate them to other processors in an SMP system if
required, and to hook into the systems debug exception handler to identify and
act on exceptions generated due to their debug registers. Since these
requirements exist for any component that uses debug registers, we are
considering building on the basic patch to provide these features as well for
a more complete debug register management API, if there is sufficient
interest.
The watchpoint probes feature in Dynamic Probes v2.0 makes use of the
interfaces provided in this patch to set up global watchpoints that work
consistently even in the presence of user mode debuggers already using
hardware watchpoints. If other debugging facilities like KDB also use this
interface to reserve debug registers, then DProbes watchpoints could coexist
with kdb watchpoints as well with consistent behaviour.
Kernel changes:
- new dr_alloc/dr_free infrastructure
- ptrace modified to make use of dr_alloc/dr_free
- switch_to now reloads only the debug registers with local watchpoint
settings on a task-switch
- signal handling restores the debug register settings only for local debug
register settings
- reference count for a debug register having local watchpoint settings is
incremented when a process is cloned and decremented when a process exits
Caveats:
- gdb doesn't check for failures in setting debug registers today
Todos:
- we don't yet handle multiple registers being enabled in a single ptrace call
(not a problem with gdb today)
- consider allocating registers in the reverse order for global watchpoints
(to reduce chances of allocation failures for gdb, which relies on being able
to use a fixed debug register)
Kernel debug facilities that could use this:
