Debug interrupts can be taken during interrupt entry, since interrupt
entry does not automatically turn them off. The kernel will check
whether the faulting instruction is between [interrupt_base_book3e,
__end_interrupts], and if so clear MSR[DE] and return.
However, when the kernel is built with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE, it can't use
LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE(r14,interrupt_base_book3e) and
LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE(r15,__end_interrupts), as they ignore relocation.
Thus, if the kernel is actually running at a different address than it
was built at, the address comparison will fail, and the exception entry
code will hang at kernel_dbg_exc.
r2(toc) is also not usable here, as r2 still holds data from the
interrupted context, so LOAD_REG_ADDR() doesn't work either. So we use
the *name@got* to get the EV of two labels directly.
Test programs test.c shows as follows:
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

[scottwood: cleaned up commit message, and specified bad behavior
as a hang rather than an oops to correspond to mainline kernel behavior]
