On x86 have have __ex_table and __bug_table. The former is used for all
sorts of things, including fixing up faults.
Now, our struct exception_table_entry has a third field used to specify
a handler, see commit:
548acf19234d ("x86/mm: Expand the exception table logic to allow new handling
options")
Also, given we trigger things with a known instruction at these sites,
the ->to field is reusable and can be used to encode the register
offset.
Still, if we want to allow a generic implementation that does a function
call, the handler prototype should probably look like:
void exception_value(unsigned long value);
Which means the arch bits need a trampoline and we also need to encode
that. The best I've come up with is having nr_regs trampolines and
stuffing the trampoline function in the ->handler field and then using
the ->to field to encode the actual handler.
Something like:
#define EX_REG_HANDLER(_reg) \
bool ex_handler_value_##_reg(const struct exception_table_entry *fixup, \
struct pt_regs *regs, int trapnr) \
{ \
void (*handler)(unsigned long) = \
(void *)((unsigned long)&fixup->to + fixup->to); \
\
if (trapnr != X86_TRAP_UD) \
return false; \
\
regs->ip += 2; /* size of UD2 instruction */ \
handler(regs->_reg); \
return true; \
}
EX_REG_HANDLER(bx);
EX_REG_HANDLER(cx);
...
EX_REG_HANDLER(ss);
asm (
" .macro reg_to_handler r\n"
" .irp rs,bx,cx,...,ss\n"
" .ifc \\r, %\\rs\n"
" ex_handler_value_\\rs\n"
" .endif\n"
" .endr\n"
" .endm\n"
);
#define EXCEPTION_VALUE(val, handler) \
asm volatile ("1: ud2" \
_ASM_EXTABLE_HANDLE(1b, handler, \
reg_to_handler %0) \
: : "r" (val))
Where the generic version can simply be:
#define EXCEPTION_VALUE(val, handler) handler((unsigned long)val)
Makes sense?
