kgdb: Flush console before entering kgdb on panic When entering kdb/kgdb on a kernel panic, it was be observed that the console isn't flushed before the `kdb` prompt came up. Specifically, when using the buddy lockup detector on arm64 and running: echo HARDLOCKUP > /sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/DIRECT I could see: [ 26.161099] lkdtm: Performing direct entry HARDLOCKUP [ 32.499881] watchdog: Watchdog detected hard LOCKUP on cpu 6 [ 32.552865] Sending NMI from CPU 5 to CPUs 6: [ 32.557359] NMI backtrace for cpu 6 ...

tty: sysrq: switch sysrq handlers from int to u8 The passed parameter to sysrq handlers is a key (a character). So change the type from 'int' to 'u8'. Let it specifically be 'u8' for two reasons: * unsigned: unsigned values come from the upper layers (devices) and the tty layer assumes unsigned on most places, and * 8-bit: as that what's supposed to be one day in all the layers built on the top of tty. (Currently, we use mostly 'unsigned char' and somewhere still only 'char'. (But that also translates to the former thanks to -funsigned-char.))

lockdown: also lock down previous kgdb use KGDB and KDB allow read and write access to kernel memory, and thus should be restricted during lockdown. An attacker with access to a serial port (for example, via a hypervisor console, which some cloud vendors provide over the network) could trigger the debugger so it is important that the debugger respect the lockdown mode when/if it is triggered. Fix this by integrating lockdown into kdb's existing permissions mechanism. Unfortunately kgdb does not have any permissions mechanism (although it certainly could be added later) so, for now, kgdb is simply and brutally disabled by immediately exiting the gdb stub without taking any action. For lockdowns established early in the boot (e.g. the normal case) then this should be fine but on systems where kgdb has set breakpoints before the lockdown is enacted than "bad things" will happen.

kgdb: Remove kgdb_schedule_breakpoint() To the very best of my knowledge there has never been any in-tree code that calls this function. It exists largely to support an out-of-tree driver that provides kgdb-over-ethernet using the netpoll API. kgdboe has been out-of-tree for more than 10 years and I don't recall any serious attempt to upstream it at any point in the last five. At this stage it looks better to stop carrying this code in the kernel and integrate the code into the out-of-tree driver instead. The long term trajectory for the kernel looks likely to include effort to remove or reduce the use of tasklets (something that has also been true for the last 10 years). Thus the main real reason for this patch is to make explicit that the in-tree kgdb features do not require tasklets.

kernel: debug: Centralize dbg_[de]activate_sw_breakpoints During debug trap execution we expect dbg_deactivate_sw_breakpoints() to be paired with an dbg_activate_sw_breakpoint(). Currently although the calls are paired correctly they are needlessly smeared across three different functions. Worse this also results in code to drive polled I/O being called with breakpoints activated which, in turn, needlessly increases the set of functions that will recursively trap if breakpointed. Fix this by moving the activation of breakpoints into the debug core.

kgdb: Add NOKPROBE labels on the trap handler functions Currently kgdb honours the kprobe blocklist but doesn't place its own trap handling code on the list. Add labels to discourage attempting to use kgdb to debug itself. Not every functions that executes from the trap handler needs to be marked up: relatively early in the trap handler execution (just after we bring the other CPUs to a halt) all breakpoints are replaced with the original opcodes. This patch marks up code in the debug_core that executes between trap entry and the breakpoints being deactivated and, also, code that executes between breakpoint activation and trap exit. To be clear these changes are not sufficient to make recursive trapping impossible since they do not include library calls made during kgdb's entry/exit logic. However going much further whilst we are sharing the kprobe blocklist risks reducing the capabilities of kprobe and this would be a bad trade off (especially so given kgdb's users are currently conditioned to avoid recursive traps).

kgdb: Make "kgdbcon" work properly with "kgdb_earlycon" On my system the kernel processes the "kgdb_earlycon" parameter before the "kgdbcon" parameter. When we setup "kgdb_earlycon" we'll end up in kgdb_register_callbacks() and "kgdb_use_con" won't have been set yet so we'll never get around to starting "kgdbcon". Let's remedy this by detecting that the IO module was already registered when setting "kgdb_use_con" and registering the console then. As part of this, to avoid pre-declaring things, move the handling of the "kgdbcon" further down in the file.

Let's slightly defer when we call the deinit code so that it's not done under spinlock. NOTE: this does mean that the "deinit" call of the old kgdb IO module is now made _after_ the init of the new IO module, but presumably that's OK.

kgdboc: Add kgdboc_earlycon to support early kgdb using boot consoles We want to enable kgdb to debug the early parts of the kernel. Unfortunately kgdb normally is a client of the tty API in the kernel and serial drivers don't register to the tty layer until fairly late in the boot process. Serial drivers do, however, commonly register a boot console. Let's enable the kgdboc driver to work with boot consoles to provide early debugging. This change co-opts the existing read() function pointer that's part of "struct console". It's assumed that if a boot console (with the flag CON_BOOT) has implemented read() that both the read() and write() function are polling functions. That means they work without interrupts and read() will return immediately (with 0 bytes read) if there's nothing to read. This should be a safe assumption since it appears that no current boot consoles implement read() right now and there seems no reason to do so unless they wanted to support "kgdboc_earlycon". The normal/expected way to make all this work is to use "kgdboc_earlycon" and "kgdboc" together. You should point them both to the same physical serial connection. At boot time, as the system transitions from the boot console to the normal console (and registers a tty), kgdb will switch over. One awkward part of all this, though, is that there can be a window where the boot console goes away and we can't quite transtion over to the main kgdboc that uses the tty layer. There are two main problems: 1. The act of registering the tty doesn't cause any call into kgdboc so there is a window of time when the tty is there but kgdboc's init code hasn't been called so we can't transition to it. 2. On some serial drivers the normal console inits (and replaces the boot console) quite early in the system. Presumably these drivers were coded up before earlycon worked as well as it does today and probably they don't need to do this anymore, but it causes us problems nontheless. Problem #1 is not too big of a deal somewhat due to the luck of probe ordering. kgdboc is last in the tty/serial/Makefile so its probe gets right after all other tty devices. It's not fun to rely on this, but it does work for the most part. Problem #2 is a big deal, but only for some serial drivers. Other serial drivers end up registering the console (which gets rid of the boot console) and tty at nearly the same time. The way we'll deal with the window when the system has stopped using the boot console and the time when we're setup using the tty is to keep using the boot console. This may sound surprising, but it has been found to work well in practice. If it doesn't work, it shouldn't be too hard for a given serial driver to make it keep working. Specifically, it's expected that the read()/write() function provided in the boot console should be the same (or nearly the same) as the normal kgdb polling functions. That means continuing to use them should work just fine. To make things even more likely to work work we'll also trap the recently added exit() function in the boot console we're using and delay any calls to it until we're all done with the boot console. NOTE: there could be ways to use all this in weird / unexpected ways. If you do something like this, it's a bit of a buyer beware situation. Specifically: - If you specify only "kgdboc_earlycon" but not "kgdboc" then (depending on your serial driver) things will probably work OK, but you'll get a warning printed the first time you use kgdb after the boot console is gone. You'd only be able to do this, of course, if the serial driver you're running atop provided an early boot console. - If your "kgdboc_earlycon" and "kgdboc" devices are not the same device things should work OK, but it'll be your job to switch over which device you're monitoring (including figuring out how to switch over gdb in-flight if you're using it). When trying to enable "kgdboc_earlycon" it should be noted that the names that are registered through the boot console layer and the tty layer are not the same for the same port. For example when debugging on one board I'd need to pass "kgdboc_earlycon=qcom_geni kgdboc=ttyMSM0" to enable things properly. Since digging up the boot console name is a pain and there will rarely be more than one boot console enabled, you can provide the "kgdboc_earlycon" parameter without specifying the name of the boot console. In this case we'll just pick the first boot that implements read() that we find. This new "kgdboc_earlycon" parameter should be contrasted to the existing "ekgdboc" parameter. While both provide a way to debug very early, the usage and mechanisms are quite different. Specifically "kgdboc_earlycon" is meant to be used in tandem with "kgdboc" and there is a transition from one to the other. The "ekgdboc" parameter, on the other hand, replaces the "kgdboc" parameter. It runs the same logic as the "kgdboc" parameter but just relies on your TTY driver being present super early. The only known usage of the old "ekgdboc" parameter is documented as "ekgdboc=kbd earlyprintk=vga". It should be noted that "kbd" has special treatment allowing it to init early as a tty device.

kgdb: Delay "kgdbwait" to dbg_late_init() by default Using kgdb requires at least some level of architecture-level initialization. If nothing else, it relies on the architecture to pass breakpoints / crashes onto kgdb. On some architectures this all works super early, specifically it starts working at some point in time before Linux parses early_params's. On other architectures it doesn't. A survey of a few platforms: a) x86: Presumably it all works early since "ekgdboc" is documented to work here. b) arm64: Catching crashes works; with a simple patch breakpoints can also be made to work. c) arm: Nothing in kgdb works until paging_init() -> devicemaps_init() -> early_trap_init() Let's be conservative and, by default, process "kgdbwait" (which tells the kernel to drop into the debugger ASAP at boot) a bit later at dbg_late_init() time. If an architecture has tested it and wants to re-enable super early debugging, they can select the ARCH_HAS_EARLY_DEBUG KConfig option. We'll do this for x86 to start. It should be noted that dbg_late_init() is still called quite early in the system. Note that this patch doesn't affect when kgdb runs its init. If kgdb is set to initialize early it will still initialize when parsing early_param's. This patch _only_ inhibits the initial breakpoint from "kgdbwait". This means: * Without any extra patches arm64 platforms will at least catch crashes after kgdb inits. * arm platforms will catch crashes (and could handle a hardcoded kgdb_breakpoint()) any time after early_trap_init() runs, even before dbg_late_init().

kgdb: Disable WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED for all kgdb In commit 81eaadcae81b ("kgdboc: disable the console lock when in kgdb") we avoided the WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED() yell when we were in kgdboc. That still works fine, but it turns out that we get a similar yell when using other I/O drivers. One example is the "I/O driver" for the kgdb test suite (kgdbts). When I enabled that I again got the same yells. Even though "kgdbts" doesn't actually interact with the user over the console, using it still causes kgdb to print to the consoles.

kdb: Fix stack crawling on 'running' CPUs that aren't the master In kdb when you do 'btc' (back trace on CPU) it doesn't necessarily give you the right info. Specifically on many architectures (including arm64, where I tested) you can't dump the stack of a "running" process that isn't the process running on the current CPU. This can be seen by this: echo SOFTLOCKUP > /sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/DIRECT # wait 2 seconds <sysrq>g Here's what I see now on rk3399-gru-kevin. I see the stack crawl for the CPU that handled the sysrq but everything else just shows me stuck in __switch_to() which is bogus: ====== [0]kdb> btc btc: cpu status: Currently on cpu 0 Available cpus: 0, 1-3(I), 4, 5(I) Stack traceback for pid 0 0xffffff801101a9c0 0 0 1 0 R 0xffffff801101b3b0 *swapper/0 Call trace: dump_backtrace+0x0/0x138 ... kgdb_compiled_brk_fn+0x34/0x44 ... sysrq_handle_dbg+0x34/0x5c Stack traceback for pid 0 0xffffffc0f175a040 0 0 1 1 I 0xffffffc0f175aa30 swapper/1 Call trace: __switch_to+0x1e4/0x240 0xffffffc0f65616c0 Stack traceback for pid 0 0xffffffc0f175d040 0 0 1 2 I 0xffffffc0f175da30 swapper/2 Call trace: __switch_to+0x1e4/0x240 0xffffffc0f65806c0 Stack traceback for pid 0 0xffffffc0f175b040 0 0 1 3 I 0xffffffc0f175ba30 swapper/3 Call trace: __switch_to+0x1e4/0x240 0xffffffc0f659f6c0 Stack traceback for pid 1474 0xffffffc0dde8b040 1474 727 1 4 R 0xffffffc0dde8ba30 bash Call trace: __switch_to+0x1e4/0x240 __schedule+0x464/0x618 0xffffffc0dde8b040 Stack traceback for pid 0 0xffffffc0f17b0040 0 0 1 5 I 0xffffffc0f17b0a30 swapper/5 Call trace: __switch_to+0x1e4/0x240 0xffffffc0f65dd6c0 === The problem is that 'btc' eventually boils down to show_stack(task_struct, NULL); ...and show_stack() doesn't work for "running" CPUs because their registers haven't been stashed. On x86 things might work better (I haven't tested) because kdb has a special case for x86 in kdb_show_stack() where it passes the stack pointer to show_stack(). This wouldn't work on arm64 where the stack crawling function seems needs the "fp" and "pc", not the "sp" which is presumably why arm64's show_stack() function totally ignores the "sp" parameter. NOTE: we _can_ get a good stack dump for all the cpus if we manually switch each one to the kdb master and do a back trace. AKA: cpu 4 bt ...will give the expected trace. That's because now arm64's dump_backtrace will now see that "tsk == current" and go through a different path. In this patch I fix the problems by catching a request to stack crawl a task that's running on a CPU and then I ask that CPU to do the stack crawl. NOTE: this will (presumably) change what stack crawls are printed for x86 machines. Now kdb functions will show up in the stack crawl. Presumably this is OK but if it's not we can go back and add a special case for x86 again.

kgdb: don't use a notifier to enter kgdb at panic; call directly Right now kgdb/kdb hooks up to debug panics by registering for the panic notifier. This works OK except that it means that kgdb/kdb gets called _after_ the CPUs in the system are taken offline. That means that if anything important was happening on those CPUs (like something that might have contributed to the panic) you can't debug them. Specifically I ran into a case where I got a panic because a task was "blocked for more than 120 seconds" which was detected on CPU 2. I nicely got shown stack traces in the kernel log for all CPUs including CPU 0, which was running 'PID: 111 Comm: kworker/0:1H' and was in the middle of __mmc_switch(). I then ended up at the kdb prompt where switched over to kgdb to try to look at local variables of the process on CPU 0. I found that I couldn't. Digging more, I found that I had no info on any tasks running on CPUs other than CPU 2 and that asking kdb for help showed me "Error: no saved data for this cpu". This was because all the CPUs were offline. Let's move the entry of kdb/kgdb to a direct call from panic() and stop using the generic notifier. Putting a direct call in allows us to order things more properly and it also doesn't seem like we're breaking any abstractions by calling into the debugger from the panic function. Daniel said: : This patch changes the way kdump and kgdb interact with each other. : However it would seem rather odd to have both tools simultaneously armed : and, even if they were, the user still has the option to use panic_timeout : to force a kdump to happen. Thus I think the change of order is : acceptable.

kgdb: Don't round up a CPU that failed rounding up before If we're using the default implementation of kgdb_roundup_cpus() that uses smp_call_function_single_async() we can end up hanging kgdb_roundup_cpus() if we try to round up a CPU that failed to round up before. Specifically smp_call_function_single_async() will try to wait on the csd lock for the CPU that we're trying to round up. If the previous round up never finished then that lock could still be held and we'll just sit there hanging. There's not a lot of use trying to round up a CPU that failed to round up before. Let's keep a flag that indicates whether the CPU started but didn't finish to round up before. If we see that flag set then we'll skip the next round up. In general we have a few goals here: - We never want to end up calling smp_call_function_single_async() when the csd is still locked. This is accomplished because flush_smp_call_function_queue() unlocks the csd _before_ invoking the callback. That means that when kgdb_nmicallback() runs we know for sure the the csd is no longer locked. Thus when we set "rounding_up = false" we know for sure that the csd is unlocked. - If there are no timeouts rounding up we should never skip a round up. NOTE #1: In general trying to continue running after failing to round up CPUs doesn't appear to be supported in the debugger. When I simulate this I find that kdb reports "Catastrophic error detected" when I try to continue. I can overrule and continue anyway, but it should be noted that we may be entering the land of dragons here. Possibly the "Catastrophic error detected" was added _because_ of the future failure to round up, but even so this is an area of the code that hasn't been strongly tested. NOTE #2: I did a bit of testing before and after this change. I introduced a 10 second hang in the kernel while holding a spinlock that I could invoke on a certain CPU with 'taskset -c 3 cat /sys/...". Before this change if I did: - Invoke hang - Enter debugger - g (which warns about Catastrophic error, g again to go anyway) - g - Enter debugger ...I'd hang the rest of the 10 seconds without getting a debugger prompt. After this change I end up in the debugger the 2nd time after only 1 second with the standard warning about 'Timed out waiting for secondary CPUs.' I'll also note that once the CPU finished waiting I could actually debug it (aka "btc" worked) I won't promise that everything works perfectly if the errant CPU comes back at just the wrong time (like as we're entering or exiting the debugger) but it certainly seems like an improvement. NOTE #3: setting 'kgdb_info[cpu].rounding_up = false' is in kgdb_nmicallback() instead of kgdb_call_nmi_hook() because some implementations override kgdb_call_nmi_hook(). It shouldn't hurt to have it in kgdb_nmicallback() in any case. NOTE #4: this logic is really only needed because there is no API call like "smp_try_call_function_single_async()" or "smp_csd_is_locked()". If such an API existed then we'd use it instead, but it seemed a bit much to add an API like this just for kgdb.

If nothing else that seems like it could violate spinlock semantics and cause a deadlock. Instead, let's use a private csd alongside smp_call_function_single_async() to round up the other CPUs. Using smp_call_function_single_async() doesn't require interrupts to be enabled so we can remove the offending bit of code. In order to avoid duplicating this across all the architectures that use the default kgdb_roundup_cpus(), we'll add a "weak" implementation to debug_core.c. Looking at all the people who previously had copies of this code, there were a few variants. I've attempted to keep the variants working like they used to. Specifically: * For arch/arc we passed NULL to kgdb_nmicallback() instead of get_irq_regs(). * For arch/mips there was a bit of extra code around kgdb_nmicallback() NOTE: In this patch we will still get into trouble if we try to round up a CPU that failed to round up before. We'll try to round it up again and potentially hang when we try to grab the csd lock. That's not new behavior but we'll still try to do better in a future patch.

mm/vmacache, sched/headers: Introduce 'struct vmacache' and move it from <linux/sched.h> to <linux/mm_types> The <linux/sched.h> header includes various vmacache related defines, which are arguably misplaced. Move them to mm_types.h and minimize the sched.h impact by putting all task vmacache state into a new 'struct vmacache' structure. No change in functionality.

kernel/debug/debug_core.c: more properly delay for secondary CPUs We've got a delay loop waiting for secondary CPUs. That loop uses loops_per_jiffy. However, loops_per_jiffy doesn't actually mean how many tight loops make up a jiffy on all architectures. It is quite common to see things like this in the boot log: Calibrating delay loop (skipped), value calculated using timer frequency.. 48.00 BogoMIPS (lpj=24000) In my case I was seeing lots of cases where other CPUs timed out entering the debugger only to print their stack crawls shortly after the kdb> prompt was written. Elsewhere in kgdb we already use udelay(), so that should be safe enough to use to implement our timeout. We'll delay 1 ms for 1000 times, which should give us a full second of delay (just like the old code wanted) but allow us to notice that we're done every 1 ms.

debug: prevent entering debug mode on panic/exception. On non-developer devices, kgdb prevents the device from rebooting after a panic. Incase of panics and exceptions, to allow the device to reboot, prevent entering debug mode to avoid getting stuck waiting for the user to interact with debugger. To avoid entering the debugger on panic/exception without any extra configuration, panic_timeout is being used which can be set via /proc/sys/kernel/panic at run time and CONFIG_PANIC_TIMEOUT sets the default value. Setting panic_timeout indicates that the user requested machine to perform unattended reboot after panic. We dont want to get stuck waiting for the user input incase of panic.

kgdb: timeout if secondary CPUs ignore the roundup Currently if an active CPU fails to respond to a roundup request the CPU that requested the roundup will become stuck. This needlessly reduces the robustness of the debugger. This patch introduces a timeout allowing the system state to be examined even when the system contains unresponsive processors.

mm: per-thread vma caching This patch is a continuation of efforts trying to optimize find_vma(), avoiding potentially expensive rbtree walks to locate a vma upon faults. The original approach (https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/11/1/410), where the largest vma was also cached, ended up being too specific and random, thus further comparison with other approaches were needed. There are two things to consider when dealing with this, the cache hit rate and the latency of find_vma(). Improving the hit-rate does not necessarily translate in finding the vma any faster, as the overhead of any fancy caching schemes can be too high to consider. We currently cache the last used vma for the whole address space, which provides a nice optimization, reducing the total cycles in find_vma() by up to 250%, for workloads with good locality. On the other hand, this simple scheme is pretty much useless for workloads with poor locality. Analyzing ebizzy runs shows that, no matter how many threads are running, the mmap_cache hit rate is less than 2%, and in many situations below 1%. The proposed approach is to replace this scheme with a small per-thread cache, maximizing hit rates at a very low maintenance cost. Invalidations are performed by simply bumping up a 32-bit sequence number. The only expensive operation is in the rare case of a seq number overflow, where all caches that share the same address space are flushed. Upon a miss, the proposed replacement policy is based on the page number that contains the virtual address in question. Concretely, the following results are seen on an 80 core, 8 socket x86-64 box: 1) System bootup: Most programs are single threaded, so the per-thread scheme does improve ~50% hit rate by just adding a few more slots to the cache. +----------------+----------+------------------+ | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) | +----------------+----------+------------------+ | baseline | 50.61% | 19.90 | | patched | 73.45% | 13.58 | +----------------+----------+------------------+ 2) Kernel build: This one is already pretty good with the current approach as we're dealing with good locality. +----------------+----------+------------------+ | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) | +----------------+----------+------------------+ | baseline | 75.28% | 11.03 | | patched | 88.09% | 9.31 | +----------------+----------+------------------+ 3) Oracle 11g Data Mining (4k pages): Similar to the kernel build workload. +----------------+----------+------------------+ | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) | +----------------+----------+------------------+ | baseline | 70.66% | 17.14 | | patched | 91.15% | 12.57 | +----------------+----------+------------------+ 4) Ebizzy: There's a fair amount of variation from run to run, but this approach always shows nearly perfect hit rates, while baseline is just about non-existent. The amounts of cycles can fluctuate between anywhere from ~60 to ~116 for the baseline scheme, but this approach reduces it considerably. For instance, with 80 threads: +----------------+----------+------------------+ | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) | +----------------+----------+------------------+ | baseline | 1.06% | 91.54 | | patched | 99.97% | 14.18 | +----------------+----------+------------------+ [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix nommu build, per Davidlohr] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: document vmacache_valid() logic] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: attempt to untangle header files] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: add vmacache_find() BUG_ON] [hughd@google.com: add vmacache_valid_mm() (from Oleg)] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: adjust and enhance comments] Signed-off-by: Davidlohr Bueso <davidlohr@hp.com> Reviewed-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Acked-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Reviewed-by: Michel Lespinasse <walken@google.com> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Tested-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

KGDB: make kgdb_breakpoint() as noinline The function kgdb_breakpoint() sets up break point at compile time by calling arch_kgdb_breakpoint(); Though this call is surrounded by wmb() barrier, the compile can still re-order the break point, because this scheduling barrier is not a code motion barrier in gcc.

kdb: Add support for external NMI handler to call KGDB/KDB This patch adds a kgdb_nmicallin() interface that can be used by external NMI handlers to call the KGDB/KDB handler. The primary need for this is for those types of NMI interrupts where all the CPUs have already received the NMI signal. Therefore no send_IPI(NMI) is required, and in fact it will cause a 2nd unhandled NMI to occur. This generates the "Dazed and Confuzed" messages. Since all the CPUs are getting the NMI at roughly the same time, it's not guaranteed that the first CPU that hits the NMI handler will manage to enter KGDB and set the dbg_master_lock before the slaves start entering. The new argument "send_ready" was added for KGDB to signal the NMI handler to release the slave CPUs for entry into KGDB.

Some arch such as x86 need to use text_poke() in order to install a breakpoint into a read only page. Passing the kgdb_bpt structure to kgdb_arch_set_breakpoint() and kgdb_arch_remove_breakpoint() allows other archs to set the type variable which indicates how the breakpoint was installed.

debug_core: refactor locking for master/slave cpus For quite some time there have been problems with memory barriers and various races with NMI on multi processor systems using the kernel debugger. The algorithm for entering the kernel debug core and resuming kernel execution was racy and had several known edge case problems with attempting to debug something on a heavily loaded system using breakpoints that are hit repeatedly and quickly. The prior "locking" design entry worked as follows: * The atomic counter kgdb_active was used with atomic exchange in order to elect a master cpu out of all the cpus that may have taken a debug exception. * The master cpu increments all elements of passive_cpu_wait[]. * The master cpu issues the round up cpus message. * Each "slave cpu" that enters the debug core increments its own element in cpu_in_kgdb[]. * Each "slave cpu" spins on passive_cpu_wait[] until it becomes 0. * The master cpu debugs the system. The new scheme removes the two arrays of atomic counters and replaces them with 2 single counters. One counter is used to count the number of cpus waiting to become a master cpu (because one or more hit an exception). The second counter is use to indicate how many cpus have entered as slave cpus. The new entry logic works as follows: * One or more cpus enters via kgdb_handle_exception() and increments the masters_in_kgdb. Each cpu attempts to get the spin lock called dbg_master_lock. * The master cpu sets kgdb_active to the current cpu. * The master cpu takes the spinlock dbg_slave_lock. * The master cpu asks to round up all the other cpus. * Each slave cpu that is not already in kgdb_handle_exception() will enter and increment slaves_in_kgdb. Each slave will now spin try_locking on dbg_slave_lock. * The master cpu waits for the sum of masters_in_kgdb and slaves_in_kgdb to be equal to the sum of the online cpus. * The master cpu debugs the system. In the new design the kgdb_active can only be changed while holding dbg_master_lock. Stress testing has not turned up any further entry/exit races that existed in the prior locking design. The prior locking design suffered from atomic variables not being truly atomic (in the capacity as used by kgdb) along with memory barrier races.

x86, kgdb, init: Add early and late debug states The kernel debugger can operate well before mm_init(), but the x86 hardware breakpoint code which uses the perf api requires that the kernel allocators are initialized. This means the kernel debug core needs to provide an optional arch specific call back to allow the initialization functions to run after the kernel has been further initialized. The kdb shell already had a similar restriction with an early initialization and late initialization. The kdb_init() was moved into the debug core's version of the late init which is called dbg_late_init(); CC: kgdb-bugreport@lists.sourceforge.net Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>

kdb,debug_core: Allow the debug core to receive a panic notification It is highly desirable to trap into kdb on panic. The debug core will attempt to register as the first in line for the panic notifier. CC: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> CC: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> CC: Eric W.

kgdb: Add the ability to schedule a breakpoint via a tasklet Some kgdb I/O modules require the ability to create a breakpoint tasklet, such as kgdboc and external modules such as kgdboe. The breakpoint tasklet is used as an asynchronous entry point into the debugger which will have a different function scope than the current execution path where it might not be safe to have an inline breakpoint. This is true of some of the kgdb I/O drivers which share code with kgdb and rest of the kernel users. Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>

x86,kgdb: Add low level debug hook The only way the debugger can handle a trap in inside rcu_lock, notify_die, or atomic_notifier_call_chain without a triple fault is to have a low level "first opportunity handler" in the int3 exception handler. Generally this will be something the vast majority of folks will not need, but for those who need it, it is added as a kernel .config option called KGDB_LOW_LEVEL_TRAP.

kgdb: remove post_primary_code references Remove all the references to the kgdb_post_primary_code. This function serves no useful purpose because you can obtain the same information from the "struct kgdb_state *ks" from with in the debugger, if for some reason you want the data. Also remove the unintentional duplicate assignment for ks->ex_vector. Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>

kgdb: gdb "monitor" -> kdb passthrough One of the driving forces behind integrating another front end (kdb) to the debug core is to allow front end commands to be accessible via gdb's monitor command. It is true that you could write gdb macros to get certain data, but you may want to just use gdb to access the commands that are available in the kdb front end. This patch implements the Rcmd gdb stub packet. In gdb you access this with the "monitor" command. For instance you could type "monitor help", "monitor lsmod" or "monitor ps A" etc... There is no error checking or command restrictions on what you can and cannot access at this point. Doing something like trying to set breakpoints with the monitor command is going to cause nothing but problems. Perhaps in the future only the commands that are actually known to work with the gdb monitor command will be available. Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>

kgdb,8250,pl011: Return immediately from console poll The design of the kdb shell requires that every device that can provide input to kdb have a polling routine that exits immediately if there is no character available. This is required in order to get the page scrolling mechanism working. Changing the kernel debugger I/O API to require all polling character routines to exit immediately if there is no data allows the kernel debugger to process multiple input channels. NO_POLL_CHAR will be the return code to the polling routine when ever there is no character available. CC: linux-serial@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>

kgdb: core changes to support kdb These are the minimum changes to the kgdb core in order to enable an API to connect a new front end (kdb) to the debug core. This patch introduces the dbg_kdb_mode variable controls where the user level I/O is routed. It will be routed to the gdbstub (kgdb) or to the kdb front end which is a simple shell available over the kgdboc connection. You can switch back and forth between kdb or the gdb stub mode of operation dynamically. From gdb stub mode you can blindly type "$3#33", or from the kdb mode you can enter "kgdb" to switch to the gdb stub. The logic in the debug core depends on kdb to look for the typical gdb connection sequences and return immediately with KGDB_PASS_EVENT if a gdb serial command sequence is detected. That should allow a reasonably seamless transition between kdb -> gdb without leaving the kernel exception state. The two gdb serial queries that kdb is responsible for detecting are the "?" and "qSupported" packets.

Separate the gdbstub from the debug core Split the former kernel/kgdb.c into debug_core.c which contains the kernel debugger exception logic and to the gdbstub.c which contains the logic for allowing gdb to talk to the debug core. This also created a private include file called debug_core.h which contains all the definitions to glue the debug_core to any other debugger connections.
