Commit Message

Alex Bennée May 15, 2015, 2:27 p.m. UTC
This commit defines the API headers for guest debugging. There are two
architecture specific debug structures:

  - kvm_guest_debug_arch, allows us to pass in HW debug registers
  - kvm_debug_exit_arch, signals exception and possible faulting address

The type of debugging being used is controlled by the architecture
specific control bits of the kvm_guest_debug->control flags in the ioctl
structure.

v2
   - expose hsr and pc directly to user-space
v3
   - s/control/controlled/ in commit message
   - add v8 to ARM ARM comment (ARM Architecture Reference Manual)
   - add rb tag
   - rm pc, add far
   - re-word comments on alignment
   - rename KVM_ARM_NDBG_REGS -> KVM_ARM_MAX_DBG_REGS
v4
   - now uses common HW/SW BP define
   - add a-b-tag
   - use u32 for control regs

Gah yes it is.

Really? I mean the existing debug *control* registers have reserved bits
24-31 so there is space for expansion.

Other places in the userspace ABI which deal with sysregs (notably
ONE_REG) consistently define them all as 64-bit (which makes sense
anyway since the ISA only provides 64-bit accessors to them).
"Architecturally 32 bits" only means "top 32 bits reserved".

Fair enough, I can switch it back. The main reason I had them as all 64
bit before was because of the mapping onto the sys_regs context. If
everyone is happy bloating the ABI a little I'm OK with that. It will
make the hyp.S macro a little less ugly for one.

I thought those where ptrace specific fields which then get munged into
the final values inside the kernel?
