| * kgdb,debug_core: pass the breakpoint struct instead of address and memoryJason Wessel2012-03-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is extra state information that needs to be exposed in the kgdb_bpt structure for tracking how a breakpoint was installed. The debug_core only uses the the probe_kernel_write() to install breakpoints, but this is not enough for all the archs. 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.

| * kdb: Fix smatch warning on dbg_io_ops->is_consoleJason Wessel2012-03-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Smatch tool warned that the change from commit b8adde8dd (kdb: Avoid using dbg_io_ops until it is initialized) should add another null check later in the kdb_printf(). It is worth noting that the second use of dbg_io_ops->is_console is protected by the KDB_PAGER state variable which would only get set when kdb is fully active and initialized. If we ever encounter changes or defects in the KDB_PAGER state we do not want to crash the kernel in a kdb_printf/printk.

I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can and made sure that they don't break. The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2(). This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h. The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h. It holds a number of low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg. memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that aren't used in many places (eg. switch_to()). These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces: (1) asm/barrier.h Move memory barriers here. This already done for MIPS and Alpha. (2) asm/switch_to.h Move switch_to() and related stuff here. (3) asm/exec.h Move arch_align_stack() here. Other process execution related bits could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h. (4) asm/cmpxchg.h Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg(). (5) asm/bug.h Move die() and related bits. (6) asm/auxvec.h Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here. Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis." Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat weakened by that. We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it.. * tag 'split-asm_system_h-for-linus-20120328' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-asm_system: (38 commits) Delete all instances of asm/system.h Remove all #inclusions of asm/system.h Add #includes needed to permit the removal of asm/system.h Move all declarations of free_initmem() to linux/mm.h Disintegrate asm/system.h for OpenRISC Split arch_align_stack() out from asm-generic/system.h Split the switch_to() wrapper out of asm-generic/system.h Move the asm-generic/system.h xchg() implementation to asm-generic/cmpxchg.h Create asm-generic/barrier.h Make asm-generic/cmpxchg.h #include asm-generic/cmpxchg-local.h Disintegrate asm/system.h for Xtensa Disintegrate asm/system.h for Unicore32 [based on ver #3, changed by gxt] Disintegrate asm/system.h for Tile Disintegrate asm/system.h for Sparc Disintegrate asm/system.h for SH Disintegrate asm/system.h for Score Disintegrate asm/system.h for S390 Disintegrate asm/system.h for PowerPC Disintegrate asm/system.h for PA-RISC Disintegrate asm/system.h for MN10300 ...

| * kdb: Add message about CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA on failure to install breakpointJason Wessel2012-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On x86, if CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is set, one cannot set breakpoints via KDB. Apparently this is a well-known problem, as at least one distribution now ships with both KDB enabled and CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=y for security reasons. This patch adds an printk message to the breakpoint failure case, in order to provide suggestions about how to use the debugger.

| * kdb: Avoid using dbg_io_ops until it is initializedTim Bird2012-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a bug with setting a breakpoint during kdb initialization (from kdb_cmds). Any call to kdb_printf() before the initialization of the kgdboc serial console driver (which happens much later during bootup than kdb_init), results in kernel panic due to the use of dbg_io_ops before it is initialized.

| * kgdb,debug_core: add the ability to control the reboot notifierJason Wessel2012-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sometimes it is desirable to stop the kernel debugger before allowing a system to reboot either with kdb or kgdb. This patch adds the ability to turn the reboot notifier on and off or enter the debugger and stop kernel execution before rebooting. It is possible to change the setting after booting the kernel with the following: echo 1 > /sys/module/debug_core/parameters/kgdbreboot It is also possible to change this setting using kdb / kgdb to manipulate the variable directly.

| * KDB: Fix usability issues relating to the 'enter' key.Andrei Warkentin2012-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes the following problems: 1) Typematic-repeat of 'enter' gives warning message and leaks make/break if KDB exits. Repeats look something like 0x1c 0x1c .... 0x9c 2) Use of 'keypad enter' gives warning message and leaks the ENTER break/make code out if KDB exits. KP ENTER repeats look someting like 0xe0 0x1c 0xe0 0x1c ... 0xe0 0x9c. 3) Lag on the order of seconds between "break" and "make" when expecting the enter "break" code. Seen under virtualized environments such as VMware ESX. The existing special enter handler tries to glob the enter break code, but this fails if the other (KP) enter was used, or if there was a key repeat. It also fails if you mashed some keys along with enter, and you ended up with a non-enter make or non-enter break code coming after the enter make code. So first, we modify the handler to handle these cases. But performing these actions on every enter is annoying since now you can't hold ENTER down to scroll <more>d messages in KDB. Since this special behaviour is only necessary to handle the exiting KDB ('g' + ENTER) without leaking scancodes to the OS. This cleanup needs to get executed anytime the kdb_main loop exits. Tested on QEMU. Set a bp on atkbd.c to verify no scan code was leaked.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The gdbstub and kdb should get detached if the system is rebooting.
