tracehook: add linux/tracehook.h This patch series introduces the "tracehook" interface layer of inlines in <linux/tracehook.h>. There are more details in the log entry for patch 01/23 and in the header file comments inside that patch. Most of these changes move code around with little or no change, and they should not break anything or change any behavior. This sets a new standard for uniform arch support to enable clean arch-independent implementations of new debugging and tracing stuff, denoted by CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK. Patch 20/23 adds that symbol to arch/Kconfig, with comments listing everything an arch has to do before setting "select HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK". These are elaborted a bit at: http://sourceware.org/systemtap/wiki/utrace/arch/HowTo The new inlines that arch code must define or call have detailed kerneldoc comments in the generic header files that say what is required. No arch is obligated to do any work, and no arch's build should be broken by these changes. There are several steps that each arch should take so it can set HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK. Most of these are simple. Providing this support will let new things people add for doing debugging and tracing of user-level threads "just work" for your arch in the future. For an arch that does not provide HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK, some new options for such features will not be available for config. I have done some arch work and will submit this to the arch maintainers after the generic tracehook series settles in. For now, that work is available in my GIT repositories, and in patch and mbox-of-patches form at http://people.redhat.com/roland/utrace/2.6-current/ This paves the way for my "utrace" work, to be submitted later. But it is not innately tied to that. I hope that the tracehook series can go in soon regardless of what eventually does or doesn't go on top of it. For anyone implementing any kind of new tracing/debugging plan, or just understanding all the context of the existing ptrace implementation, having tracehook.h makes things much easier to find and understand. This patch: This adds the new kernel-internal header file <linux/tracehook.h>. This is not yet used at all. The comments in the header introduce what the following series of patches is about. The aim is to formalize and consolidate all the places that the core kernel code and the arch code now ties into the ptrace implementation. These patches mostly don't cause any functional change. They just move the details of ptrace logic out of core code into tracehook.h inlines, where they are mostly compiled away to the same as before. All that changes is that everything is thoroughly documented and any future reworking of ptrace, or addition of something new, would not have to touch core code all over, just change the tracehook.h inlines. The new linux/ptrace.h inlines are used by the following patches in the new tracehook_*() inlines. Using these helpers for the ptrace event stops makes it simple to change or disable the old ptrace implementation of these stops conditionally later.

*
* This file defines hook entry points called by core code where
* user tracing/debugging support might need to do something. These
* entry points are called tracehook_*(). Each hook declared below
* has a detailed kerneldoc comment giving the context (locking et
* al) from which it is called, and the meaning of its return value.
*
* Each function here typically has only one call site, so it is ok
* to have some nontrivial tracehook_*() inlines. In all cases, the
* fast path when no tracing is enabled should be very short.
*
* The purpose of this file and the tracehook_* layer is to consolidate
* the interface that the kernel core and arch code uses to enable any
* user debugging or tracing facility (such as ptrace). The interfaces
* here are carefully documented so that maintainers of core and arch
* code do not need to think about the implementation details of the
* tracing facilities. Likewise, maintainers of the tracing code do not
* need to understand all the calling core or arch code in detail, just
* documented circumstances of each call, such as locking conditions.
*
* If the calling core code changes so that locking is different, then
* it is ok to change the interface documented here. The maintainer of
* core code changing should notify the maintainers of the tracing code
* that they need to work out the change.
*
* Some tracehook_*() inlines take arguments that the current tracing
* implementations might not necessarily use. These function signatures
* are chosen to pass in all the information that is on hand in the
* caller and might conceivably be relevant to a tracer, so that the
* core code won't have to be updated when tracing adds more features.
* If a call site changes so that some of those parameters are no longer
* already on hand without extra work, then the tracehook_* interface
* can change so there is no make-work burden on the core code. The
* maintainer of core code changing should notify the maintainers of the
* tracing code that they need to work out the change.

tracehook: add linux/tracehook.h This patch series introduces the "tracehook" interface layer of inlines in <linux/tracehook.h>. There are more details in the log entry for patch 01/23 and in the header file comments inside that patch. Most of these changes move code around with little or no change, and they should not break anything or change any behavior. This sets a new standard for uniform arch support to enable clean arch-independent implementations of new debugging and tracing stuff, denoted by CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK. Patch 20/23 adds that symbol to arch/Kconfig, with comments listing everything an arch has to do before setting "select HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK". These are elaborted a bit at: http://sourceware.org/systemtap/wiki/utrace/arch/HowTo The new inlines that arch code must define or call have detailed kerneldoc comments in the generic header files that say what is required. No arch is obligated to do any work, and no arch's build should be broken by these changes. There are several steps that each arch should take so it can set HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK. Most of these are simple. Providing this support will let new things people add for doing debugging and tracing of user-level threads "just work" for your arch in the future. For an arch that does not provide HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK, some new options for such features will not be available for config. I have done some arch work and will submit this to the arch maintainers after the generic tracehook series settles in. For now, that work is available in my GIT repositories, and in patch and mbox-of-patches form at http://people.redhat.com/roland/utrace/2.6-current/ This paves the way for my "utrace" work, to be submitted later. But it is not innately tied to that. I hope that the tracehook series can go in soon regardless of what eventually does or doesn't go on top of it. For anyone implementing any kind of new tracing/debugging plan, or just understanding all the context of the existing ptrace implementation, having tracehook.h makes things much easier to find and understand. This patch: This adds the new kernel-internal header file <linux/tracehook.h>. This is not yet used at all. The comments in the header introduce what the following series of patches is about. The aim is to formalize and consolidate all the places that the core kernel code and the arch code now ties into the ptrace implementation. These patches mostly don't cause any functional change. They just move the details of ptrace logic out of core code into tracehook.h inlines, where they are mostly compiled away to the same as before. All that changes is that everything is thoroughly documented and any future reworking of ptrace, or addition of something new, would not have to touch core code all over, just change the tracehook.h inlines. The new linux/ptrace.h inlines are used by the following patches in the new tracehook_*() inlines. Using these helpers for the ptrace event stops makes it simple to change or disable the old ptrace implementation of these stops conditionally later.
