[PATCH v3] powerpc/kvm: support to handle sw breakpoint

From: Madhavan Srinivasan <hidden>
Date: 2014-08-01 04:50:51

This patch adds kernel side support for software breakpoint.
Design is that, by using an illegal instruction, we trap to hypervisor
via Emulation Assistance interrupt, where we check for the illegal instruction
and accordingly we return to Host or Guest. Patch also adds support for
software breakpoint in PR KVM.

Changes v2->v3:
 Changed the debug instructions. Using the all zero opcode in the instruction word
  as illegal instruction as mentioned in Power ISA instead of ABS
 Removed reg updated in emulation assist and added a call to
  kvmppc_emulate_instruction for reg update.

Changes v1->v2:

 Moved the debug instruction #def to kvm_book3s.h. This way PR_KVM can also share it.
 Added code to use KVM get one reg infrastructure to get debug opcode.
 Updated emulate.c to include emulation of debug instruction incase of PR_KVM.
 Made changes to commit message.

I wanted to avoid zero mentioned in the case statement, but can add a
comment explaining it.

Yes. I guess I dont need to check here. Will resend the patch.

Any reason we can't make that 00dddd00 opcode as breakpoint common to
all powerpc variants ?

I can't think of a good reason. We use a hypercall on booke (which traps 
into an illegal instruction for pr) today, but I don't think it has to 
be that way.

Given that the user space API allows us to change it dynamically, there 
should be nothing blocking us from going with 00dddd00 always.

Kindly correct me if i am wrong. So we can still have a common code in
emulate.c to set the env for both HV and pr incase of illegal
instruction (i will rebase latest src). But suggestion here to use
00dddd00, in that case current path in embed is kvmppc_handle_exit
(booke.c) -> BOOKE_INTERRUPT_HV_PRIV -> emulation_exit ->
kvmppc_emulate_instruction, will change to kvmppc_handle_exit (booke.c)
-> BOOKE_INTERRUPT_PROGRAM -> if debug instr call emulation_exit else
send to guest?

Thanks for review

I can't follow your description above.

With the latest git version HV KVM does not include emulate.c anymore.

Also, it would make a lot of sense of have the same soft breakpoint 
instruction across all ppc targets, so it would make sense to change it 
to 0x00dddd00 for booke as well.

Basically you would have handling code in emulate.c and book3s_hv.c at 
the end of the day.

My bad.

to 0x00dddd00 for booke as well.
Got it. Was describing the current control flow with respect to booke
and where changes needed (for same software breakpoint inst). This is
for my understanding and wanted verify.

kvmppc_handle_exit(booke.c)
	-> BOOKE_INTERRUPT_HV_PRIV
		-> emulation_exit
			->kvmppc_emulate_instruction

Incase of using the same software breakpoint instruction (0x00dddd00),
then we need to add code in booke something like this

kvmppc_handle_exit (booke.c)
	-> BOOKE_INTERRUPT_PROGRAM
		->	if debug instr
				->emulation_exit
			else
				->send to guest?
				
Basically you would have handling code in emulate.c and book3s_hv.c at

Yes. Will resend the patch with updated code.

This should be book3s_emulate.c.
Any reason we can't make that 00dddd00 opcode as breakpoint common to
all powerpc variants ?
I can't think of a good reason. We use a hypercall on booke (which traps
into an illegal instruction for pr) today, but I don't think it has to
be that way.

Given that the user space API allows us to change it dynamically, there
should be nothing blocking us from going with 00dddd00 always.
Kindly correct me if i am wrong. So we can still have a common code in
emulate.c to set the env for both HV and pr incase of illegal
instruction (i will rebase latest src). But suggestion here to use
00dddd00, in that case current path in embed is kvmppc_handle_exit
(booke.c) -> BOOKE_INTERRUPT_HV_PRIV -> emulation_exit ->
kvmppc_emulate_instruction, will change to kvmppc_handle_exit (booke.c)
-> BOOKE_INTERRUPT_PROGRAM -> if debug instr call emulation_exit else
send to guest?
I can't follow your description above.
My bad.

With the latest git version HV KVM does not include emulate.c anymore.

Also, it would make a lot of sense of have the same soft breakpoint
instruction across all ppc targets, so it would make sense to change it
to 0x00dddd00 for booke as well.
Got it. Was describing the current control flow with respect to booke
and where changes needed (for same software breakpoint inst). This is
for my understanding and wanted verify.

kvmppc_handle_exit(booke.c)
	-> BOOKE_INTERRUPT_HV_PRIV
		-> emulation_exit
			->kvmppc_emulate_instruction

Incase of using the same software breakpoint instruction (0x00dddd00),
then we need to add code in booke something like this

kvmppc_handle_exit (booke.c)
	-> BOOKE_INTERRUPT_PROGRAM
		->	if debug instr
				->emulation_exit
			else
				->send to guest?
Bleks. I see your point. I guess you need something like this for booke:

Yes. Will resend the patch with updated code.
