[PATCH v11 00/27] Add new powerpc specific ELF core notes

[wei.guo.simon@gmail.com]

From: Simon Guo <wei.guo.simon@gmail.com>


This patch series adds twelve new ELF core note sections which can 
be used with existing ptrace request PTRACE_GETREG/SET-SETREGSET for accessing 
various transactional memory and other miscellaneous debug register sets on 
powerpc platform. 

Note this patch series now depends on following patch:
  [PATCH 3/5] powerpc: tm: Always use fp_state and vr_state to store live registers

Changes in V11: 
--------------- 
- Rework based on following patch:
  [PATCH 3/5] powerpc: tm: Always use fp_state and vr_state to store live registers
- Split EBB/PMU register ptrace implementation.
- Clean some coding style warning
- Added more shared memory based sync between parent and child during TM tests
- Re worded some of the commit messages and cleaned them up
- selftests/powerpc/ebb/reg.h has already moved as selftests/powerpc/reg.h
  Dropped the previous patch doing the same thing
- Combined the definitions of SPRN_DSCR from dscr/ test cases
- Fixed dscr/ test cases for new SPRN_DSCR_PRIV definition available

Changes in V10: 
--------------- 
- Rebased against the latest mainline 
- Fixed couple of build failures in the test cases related to aux vector 

Changes in V9: 
-------------- 
- Fixed static build check failure after tm_orig_msr got dropped 
- Fixed asm volatile construct for used registers set 
- Fixed EBB, VSX, VMX tests for LE 
- Fixed TAR test which was failing because of system calls 
- Added checks for PPC_FEATURE2_HTM aux feature in the tests 
- Fixed copyright statements 

Changes in V8: 
-------------- 
- Split the misc register set into individual ELF core notes 
- Implemented support for VSX register set (on and off TM) 
- Implemented support for EBB register set 
- Implemented review comments on previous versions 
- Some code re-arrangements, re-writes and documentation 
- Added comprehensive list of test cases into selftests 

Changes in V7: 
-------------- 
- Fixed a config directive in the MISC code 
- Merged the two gitignore patches into a single one 

Changes in V6: 
-------------- 
- Added two git ignore patches for powerpc selftests 
- Re-formatted all in-code function definitions in kernel-doc format 

Changes in V5: 
-------------- 
- Changed flush_tmregs_to_thread, so not to take into account self tracing 
- Dropped the 3rd patch in the series which had merged two functions 
- Fixed one build problem for the misc debug register patch 
- Accommodated almost all the review comments from Suka on the 6th patch 
- Minor changes to the self test program 
- Changed commit messages for some of the patches 

Changes in V4: 
-------------- 
- Added one test program into the powerpc selftest bucket in this regard 
- Split the 2nd patch in the previous series into four different patches 
- Accommodated most of the review comments on the previous patch series 
- Added a patch to merge functions __switch_to_tm and tm_reclaim_task 

Changes in V3: 
-------------- 
- Added two new error paths in every TM related get/set functions when regset 
support is not present on the system (ENODEV) or when the process does not 
have any transaction active (ENODATA) in the context 
- Installed the active hooks for all the newly added regset core note
types 

Changes in V2: 
-------------- 
- Removed all the power specific ptrace requests corresponding to new
NT_PPC_* 
elf core note types. Now all the register sets can be accessed from
ptrace 
through PTRACE_GETREGSET/PTRACE_SETREGSET using the individual
NT_PPC* core 
note type instead 
- Fixed couple of attribute values for REGSET_TM_CGPR register set 
- Renamed flush_tmreg_to_thread as flush_tmregs_to_thread 
- Fixed 32 bit checkpointed GPR support 
- Changed commit messages accordingly
