[ARM] Software single step cross kernel helpers
GDB step cross kernel helpers only works if the kernel helpers are tail
called, which is the case how it is used in glibc. See __aeabi_read_tp
in sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm/aeabi_read_tp.S. In __aeabi_read_tp,
branch/jump to the kernel helper is the last instruction, and the next
instruction address is in LR, which is in caller function. GDB can
handle this correctly. For example, glibc function __GI___ctype_init
calls __aeabi_read_tp
0xb6e19b30 <__GI___ctype_init+4>: ldr r3, [pc, #80] ;
0xb6e19b34 <__GI___ctype_init+8>: bl 0xb6e0a6e0 <__aeabi_read_tp>
0xb6e19b38 <__GI___ctype_init+12>: ldr r3, [pc, r3]
and __aeabi_read_tp calls kernel helper,
(gdb) disassemble __aeabi_read_tp
0xb6fef5d0 <+0>: mvn r0, #61440 ; 0xf000
0xb6fef5d4 <+4>: sub pc, r0, #31
once GDB or GDBserver single step instruction on 0xb6fef5d4, LR is
0xb6e19b38, which is right address of next instruction to set breakpoint
on.
However, if the kernel helpers are not tail-called, the LR is still the
address in the caller function of kernel helper's caller, which isn't
the right address of next instruction to set breakpoint on. For example,
we use kernel helper in main,
(gdb) disassemble main
....
0x00008624 <+32>: mov r3, #4064 ; 0xfe0^M
0x00008628 <+36>: movt r3, #65535 ; 0xffff^M
0x0000862c <+40>: blx r3
0x00008630 <+44>: ldr r3, [r11, #-8]
kernel helper is called on 0x0000862c and the expected next instruction
address is 0x00008630, but the LR now is the return address of main.
The problem here is LR may not have the right address because when we
single step the instruction, it isn't executed yet, so the LR isn't
updated. This patch fix this problem by decoding instruction, if the
instruction updates LR (BL and BLX), the next instruction address is
PC + INSN_SIZE, otherwise, get the address of next instruction from LR.
