Commit 36dadef23fcc ("kprobes: Init kprobes in early_initcall") enabled
using kprobes from early_initcall. Unfortunately at this point the
hardware debug infrastructure is not operational. The OS lock may still
be locked, and the hardware watchpoints may have unknown values when
kprobe enables debug monitors to single-step instructions.

Rather than using hardware single-step, append a BRK instruction after
the instruction to be executed out-of-line.

Luis reports that, when reverse debugging with GDB, single-step does not
function as expected on arm64:

  | I've noticed, under very specific conditions, that a PTRACE_SINGLESTEP
  | request by GDB won't execute the underlying instruction. As a consequence,
  | the PC doesn't move, but we return a SIGTRAP just like we would for a
  | regular successful PTRACE_SINGLESTEP request.

The underlying problem is that when the CPU register state is restored
as part of a reverse step, the SPSR.SS bit is cleared and so the hardware
single-step state can transition to the "active-pending" state, causing
an unexpected step exception to be taken immediately if a step operation
is attempted.

In hindsight, we probably shouldn't have exposed SPSR.SS in the pstate
accessible by the GPR regset, but it's a bit late for that now. Instead,
simply prevent userspace from configuring the bit to a value which is
inconsistent with the TIF_SINGLESTEP state for the task being traced.

<title>arm64: Call debug_traps_init() from trap_init() to help early kgdb</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=b322c65f8ca37396cfd7d4d0ac2f7f2dc08fa9eb'/>
<id>urn:sha1:b322c65f8ca37396cfd7d4d0ac2f7f2dc08fa9eb</id>
<content type='text'>
A new kgdb feature will soon land (kgdb_earlycon) that lets us run
kgdb much earlier.  In order for everything to work properly it's
important that the break hook is setup by the time we process
"kgdbwait".

Right now the break hook is setup in debug_traps_init() and that's
called from arch_initcall().  That's a bit too late since
kgdb_earlycon really needs things to be setup by the time the system
calls dbg_late_init().

We could fix this by adding call_break_hook() into early_brk64() and
that works fine.  However, it's a little ugly.  Instead, let's just
add a call to debug_traps_init() straight from trap_init().  There's
already a documented dependency between trap_init() and
debug_traps_init() and this makes the dependency more obvious rather
than just relying on a comment.

NOTE: this solution isn't early enough to let us select the
"ARCH_HAS_EARLY_DEBUG" KConfig option that is introduced by the
kgdb_earlycon patch series.  That would only be set if we could do
breakpoints when early params are parsed.  This patch only enables
"late early" breakpoints, AKA breakpoints when dbg_late_init() is
called.  It's expected that this should be fine for most people.

It should also be noted that if you crash you can still end up in kgdb
earlier than debug_traps_init().  Since you don't need breakpoints to
debug a crash that's fine.

<title>arm64: remove pointless __KERNEL__ guards</title>

<content type='text'>
For a number of years, UAPI headers have been split from kernel-internal
headers. The latter are never exposed to userspace, and always built
with __KERNEL__ defined.

Most headers under arch/arm64 don't have __KERNEL__ guards, but there
are a few stragglers lying around. To make things more consistent, and
to set a good example going forward, let's remove these redundant
__KERNEL__ guards.

In a couple of cases, a trailing #endif lacked a comment describing its
corresponding #if or #ifdef, so these are fixes up at the same time.

Guards in auto-generated crypto code are left as-is, as these guards are
generated by scripting imported from the upstream openssl project
scripts. Guards in UAPI headers are left as-is, as these can be included
by userspace or the kernel.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

probes. Define these along with the other reservations in brk-imm.h
and rename the ESR definitions to be consistent with the others that we

Mixing kernel and user debug hooks together is highly error-prone as it
relies on all of the hooks to figure out whether the exception came from
kernel or user, and then to act accordingly.

Make our debug hook code a little more robust by maintaining separate
hook lists for user and kernel, with separate registration functions
to force callers to be explicit about the exception levels that they
care about.

This patch adds support for uprobe on ARM64 architecture.

Unit tests for following have been done so far and they have been found
working
    1. Step-able instructions, like sub, ldr, add etc.
    2. Simulation-able like ret, cbnz, cbz etc.
    3. uretprobe
    4. Reject-able instructions like sev, wfe etc.
    5. trapped and abort xol path
    6. probe at unaligned user address.
    7. longjump test cases

Currently it does not support aarch32 instruction probing.

<title>arm64: Kprobes with single stepping support</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=2dd0e8d2d2a157dbc83295a78336c2217110f2f8'/>
<id>urn:sha1:2dd0e8d2d2a157dbc83295a78336c2217110f2f8</id>
<content type='text'>
Add support for basic kernel probes(kprobes) and jump probes
(jprobes) for ARM64.

Kprobes utilizes software breakpoint and single step debug
exceptions supported on ARM v8.

A software breakpoint is placed at the probe address to trap the
kernel execution into the kprobe handler.

ARM v8 supports enabling single stepping before the break exception
return (ERET), with next PC in exception return address (ELR_EL1). The
kprobe handler prepares an executable memory slot for out-of-line
execution with a copy of the original instruction being probed, and
enables single stepping. The PC is set to the out-of-line slot address
before the ERET. With this scheme, the instruction is executed with the
exact same register context except for the PC (and DAIF) registers.

Debug mask (PSTATE.D) is enabled only when single stepping a recursive
kprobe, e.g.: during kprobes reenter so that probed instruction can be
single stepped within the kprobe handler -exception- context.
The recursion depth of kprobe is always 2, i.e. upon probe re-entry,
any further re-entry is prevented by not calling handlers and the case
counted as a missed kprobe).

Single stepping from the x-o-l slot has a drawback for PC-relative accesses
like branching and symbolic literals access as the offset from the new PC
(slot address) may not be ensured to fit in the immediate value of
the opcode. Such instructions need simulation, so reject
probing them.

Instructions generating exceptions or cpu mode change are rejected
for probing.

Exclusive load/store instructions are rejected too.  Additionally, the
code is checked to see if it is inside an exclusive load/store sequence
(code from Pratyush).

System instructions are mostly enabled for stepping, except MSR/MRS
accesses to "DAIF" flags in PSTATE, which are not safe for
probing.

This also changes arch/arm64/include/asm/ptrace.h to use
include/asm-generic/ptrace.h.

Thanks to Steve Capper and Pratyush Anand for several suggested
Changes.
