# 1.10 23-Feb-2017 kamil

Introduce PT_GETDBREGS and PT_SETDBREGS in ptrace(2) on i386 and amd64

This interface is modeled after FreeBSD API with the usage.

This replaced previous watchpoint API. The previous one was introduced
recently in NetBSD-current and remove its spurs without any
backward-compatibility.

Design choices for Debug Register accessors:
- exec() (TRAP_EXEC event) must remove debug registers from LWP
- debug registers are only per-LWP, not per-process globally
- debug registers must not be inherited after (v)forking a process
- debug registers must not be inherited after forking a thread
- a debugger is responsible to set global watchpoints/breakpoints with the
debug registers, to achieve this PTRACE_LWP_CREATE/PTRACE_LWP_EXIT event
monitoring function is designed to be used
- debug register traps must generate SIGTRAP with si_code TRAP_DBREG
- debugger is responsible to retrieve debug register state to distinguish
the exact debug register trap (DR6 is Status Register on x86)
- kernel must not remove debug register traps after triggering a trap event
a debugger is responsible to detach this trap with appropriate PT_SETDBREGS
call (DR7 is Control Register on x86)
- debug registers must not be exposed in mcontext
- userland must not be allowed to set a trap on the kernel

Implementation notes on i386 and amd64:
- the initial state of debug register is retrieved on boot and this value is
stored in a local copy (initdbregs), this value is used to initialize dbreg
context after PT_GETDBREGS
- struct dbregs is stored in pcb as a pointer and by default not initialized
- reserved registers (DR4-DR5, DR9-DR15) are ignored

Further ideas:
- restrict this interface with securelevel

Tested on real hardware i386 (Intel Pentium IV) and amd64 (Intel i7).

This commit enables 390 debug register ATF tests in kernel/arch/x86.
All tests are passing.

This commit does not cover netbsd32 compat code. Currently other interface
PT_GET_SIGINFO/PT_SET_SIGINFO is required in netbsd32 compat code in order to
validate reliably PT_GETDBREGS/PT_SETDBREGS.

This implementation does not cover FreeBSD specific defines in their
<x86/reg.h>: DBREG_DR7_LOCAL_ENABLE, DBREG_DR7_GLOBAL_ENABLE, DBREG_DR7_LEN_1
etc. These values tend to be reinvented by each tracer on its own. GNU
Debugger (GDB) works with NetBSD debug registers after adding this patch:

Another reason to stop introducing unpopular defines covering machine
specific register macros is that these value varies across generations of
the same CPU family.

(gdb) c

New value = 16

(Currently the GDB interface is not reliable due to NetBSD support bugs)

Move sys/arch/amd64/amd64/fpu.c and sys/arch/amd64/include/fpu.h
into sys/arch/x86 in preparation for using the same code for i386.


# 1.8 07-Feb-2014 dsl

Convert the amd64 build to use x86/cpu_extended_state.h so that the fpu
definitions match those of i386.
Mostly just structure and field renames, in addition:
1) process_xmm_to_s87() and process_s87_to_xmm() moved into
x86/convert_xmm_s87.c so they can be used by amd64's netbsd32 code.
2) The linux signal code simplified to use a structure copy for ths fxsave
data - it matches the hardware definition and won't change.

Reorder the amd64 trapframe (swap rcx/r10 and add 4 spare slots after r9).
This allows the syscall code to pass the syscall args directly from the
trapframe instead of copying them to a separate structure.
It is still possible that some lurking code still assumes that
'struct trapframe', 'struct mcontext' and 'struct reg' all have the
registers in the same order, but I've fixed enough of them to get gdb working.

Rename the x86_64 port to amd64, as this is the actual name used for
the processor family now. x86_64 is kept as the MACHINE_ARCH value,
since it's already widely used (by e.g. the toolchain, etc), and
by other operating systems.
