[PATCH] Powerpc64: Fixup oops when debug programs with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y

From: Liu Hailong <hidden>

Debug interrupts can be taken during regular program or a standard
interrupt, the EA of the instruction causing the interrupt will be
kept in DSRR0.
Kernel will check if this value is between [interrupt_base_book3e,
__end_interrupts].
However, when the kernel build with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE, it can't get
EA of those lables by LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE(r14,interrupt_base_book3e)
and LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE(r15,__end_interrupts),then it cases problems
later.
At the same time, r2(toc) are not usable here, so LOAD_REG_ADDR()
dosen't work neither. So we use the *name@got* to get the EV of two
lables directly.
This patch can fix the problem and remove the oops when we gdb a
program with single-step.

Test programs test.c shows as follows:
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	if (access("/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid", F_OK) == -1)
		printf("Kernel doesn't have perf_event support\n");
}

Steps to reproduce the bug, for example:
 1) ./gdb ./test
 2) (gdb) b access
 3) (gdb) r
 4) (gdb) s

Then will trigger the oops, it looks like:
(gdb) s

I apologize for not getting to this earlier...

Does it really produce an oops, rather than a hang?  It looks like
without this fix, flow would go to kernel_dbg_exc which is a
branch-to-self.  Do you have other changes in your tree that affected
this?

If so, have you tested the patch on an unmodified top-of-tree kernel?  I
can't test this at the moment as I don't currently have hardware and QEMU
doesn't emulate the booke debug registers.

That said, the patch looks correct, and the bug is even worse if it's a
hang rather than merely noisily killing the debugged process.  It should
go to stable for 4.4+ (when support for relocatable e500 was added) and
probably to Linus this week (though I'd feel more comfortable knowing it
got testing on the current tree).  OTOH, I believe this bug will only
trigger if a relocation actually happened, which on e500 is an unusual
case outside of a kdump crash kernel, since the kernel is normally loaded
at zero.  But maybe you've got a different use case for relocatable?
