We can't emulate stwu since that may corrupt current exception stack.
So we will have to do real store operation in the exception return code.

Firstly we'll allocate a trampoline exception frame below the kprobed
function stack and copy the current exception frame to the trampoline.
Then we can do this real store operation to implement 'stwu', and reroute
the trampoline frame to r1 to complete this exception migration.

Wouldn't it be better to use resume_kernel here ?

IE. We already have restore_user vs. resume_kernel labels, including
the PR test. In the !PREEMPT case, resume_kernel is empty but it's
there, so you can just "populate" it, ie, something like:

restore_user:
	... existing dbcr0 stuff ...
	b restore

resume_kernel: <-- removed the ifdef CONFIG_PREEMPT

	... Do the stack store business here...

#ifdef CONFIG_PREEMPT
	... move the preempt code here...
#endif

restore:
	... existing stuff ...

Also, the added advantage is that the code to calc
the thread info pointer and load the TI_FLAG can be
shared now between your stuff and preempt, ie:

resume_kernel:
	rlwinm	r9,r1,0,0,(31-THREAD_SHIFT)
	lwz	r0,TI_FLAGS(r9)
	andis.	r0,r0,_TIF_EMULATE_STACK_STORE@h
	bne-	emulate_stack_store
#ifdef CONFIG_PREEMPT
	lwz	r8,TI_PREEMPT(r9) <-- note use of r8 instead of r0,
                                      I -think- r8 can be clobbered
                                      here but pls dbl check
	cmpwi	0,r8,0
	bne	restore
	andi.	r0,r0,_TIF_NEED_RESCHED
	etc...

Ok, I think I -finally- understand your trick of using r1 +
INT_FRAME_SIZE as the value to store :-) It makes sense and it's
actually a nice hack :-)

I would recommend that in the C code part of the emulation, you
add some sanity checking to make sure we don't overflow the
kernel stack etc... it should come in generally handy especially
if what's your trying to debug with kprobes is a kernel stack
overflow :-)

BTW. Are you going to do a ppc64 variant of that patch ?

Cheers,
Ben.

Sorry for this delay response since I can't take time to do this last week :(

Agreed :)

Its should be safe.

Please check if next, v3, is fine.

I'd like to go ppc64 ASAP once we did on ppc32 is good enough :)
