With new Loongson-3A6000/3C6000 hardware platforms (or later), hardware
page table walking (PTW) feature is supported on host. So here add this
feature detection on KVM host.

The default COMMAND_LINE_SIZE of 512, inherited from asm-generic, is
too small for modern use cases. For example, kdump configurations or
extensive debugging parameters can easily exceed this limit.
Therefore, increase the command line size to 4096 bytes, aligning
LoongArch with the MIPS architecture. This change follows a broader
trend among architectures to raise this limit to support modern needs;
for instance, PowerPC increased its value for similar reasons in the
commit a5980d064fe2 ("powerpc: Bump COMMAND_LINE_SIZE to 2048").
Similar to the change made for RISC-V in the commit 61fc1ee8be26
("riscv: Bump COMMAND_LINE_SIZE value to 1024"), this is considered
a safe change. The broader kernel community has reached a consensus
that modifying COMMAND_LINE_SIZE from UAPI headers does not constitute
a uABI breakage, as well-behaved userspace applications should not
rely on this macro.

The kernel UAPI headers already contain fixed-width integer types, there
is no need to rely on the libc types. There may not be a libc available
or the libc may not provides the <stdint.h>, like for example on nolibc.
This also aligns the header with the rest of the LoongArch UAPI headers.

The maximum number of load/store watchpoints and fetch instruction
watchpoints is 14 each according to LoongArch Reference Manual, so
extend the maximum number of watchpoints from 8 to 14 for ptrace.
By the way, just simply change 8 to 14 for the definition in struct
user_watch_state at the beginning, but it may corrupt uapi, then add
a new struct user_watch_state_v2 directly.
As far as I can tell, the only users for this struct in the userspace
are GDB and LLDB, there are no any problems of software compatibility
between the application and kernel according to the analysis.
The compatibility problem has been considered while developing and
testing. When the applications in the userspace get watchpoint state,
the length will be specified which is no bigger than the sizeof struct
user_watch_state or user_watch_state_v2, the actual length is assigned
as the minimal value of the application and kernel in the generic code
of ptrace:
kernel/ptrace.c: ptrace_regset():
kiov->iov_len = min(kiov->iov_len,
(__kernel_size_t) (regset->n * regset->size));
if (req == PTRACE_GETREGSET)
return copy_regset_to_user(task, view, regset_no, 0,
kiov->iov_len, kiov->iov_base);
else
return copy_regset_from_user(task, view, regset_no, 0,
kiov->iov_len, kiov->iov_base);
For example, there are four kind of combinations, all of them work well.
(1) "older kernel + older gdb", the actual length is 8+(8+8+4+4)*8=200;
(2) "newer kernel + newer gdb", the actual length is 8+(8+8+4+4)*14=344;
(3) "older kernel + newer gdb", the actual length is 8+(8+8+4+4)*8=200;
(4) "newer kernel + older gdb", the actual length is 8+(8+8+4+4)*8=200.
