* kdb,debug_core: adjust master cpu switch logic against new debug_core lockingJason Wessel2010-10-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kdb shell needs to enforce switching back to the original CPU that took the exception before restoring normal kernel execution. Resuming from a different CPU than what took the original exception will cause problems with spin locks that are freed from the a different processor than had taken the lock. The special logic in dbg_cpu_switch() can go away entirely with because the state of what cpus want to be masters or slaves will remain unchanged between entry and exit of the debug_core exception context.

* debug_core: refactor locking for master/slave cpusJason Wessel2010-10-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* debug_core: disable hw_breakpoints on all cores in kgdb_cpu_enter()Dongdong Deng2010-10-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The slave cpus do not have the hw breakpoints disabled upon entry to the debug_core and as a result could cause unrecoverable recursive faults on badly placed breakpoints, or get out of sync with the arch specific hw breakpoint operations. This patch addresses the problem by invoking kgdb_disable_hw_debug() earlier in kgdb_enter_cpu for each cpu that enters the debug core. The hw breakpoint dis/enable flow should be: master_debug_cpu slave_debug_cpu \ / kgdb_cpu_enter | kgdb_disable_hw_debug --> uninstall pre-enabled hw_breakpoint | do add/rm dis/enable operates to hw_breakpoints on master_debug_cpu.. | correct_hw_break --> correct/install the enabled hw_breakpoint | leave_kgdb Signed-off-by: Dongdong Deng <dongdong.deng@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>

The x86 kgdb uses a case statement for the sparse register accesses. The array which defines the registers (dbg_reg_def) should not be used directly in order to safely work with sparse register definitions. Specifically there was a problem when gdb accesses ORIG_AX, which is accessed only through the case statement. This patch encodes register memory using the size information provided from the debugger which avoids the need to look up the size of the register.

* x86, kgdb, init: Add early and late debug statesJason Wessel2010-05-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 notificationJason Wessel2010-05-20
| | | | | | | | | | 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.

* debug_core,kdb: Allow the debug core to process a recursive debug entryJason Wessel2010-05-20
| | | | | | | This allows kdb to debug a crash with in the kms code with a single level recursive re-entry. Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>
* printk,kdb: capture printk() when in kdb shellJason Wessel2010-05-20
| | | | | | | | | | | Certain calls from the kdb shell will call out to printk(), and any of these calls should get vectored back to the kdb_printf() so that the kdb pager and processing can be used, as well as to properly channel I/O to the polled I/O devices.

* kgdboc,kdb: Allow kdb to work on a non open console portJason Wessel2010-05-20
