kgdb,debug_core: pass the breakpoint struct instead of address and memory

2012-03-29T22:41:25Z

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.

Merge tag 'split-asm_system_h-for-linus-20120328' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-asm_system

Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells: "Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion dependencies. 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 ...

kgdb,debug_core: add the ability to control the reboot notifier

2012-03-22T20:07:16Z

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. Using KDB: mm kgdbreboot 1 Using gdb: set kgdbreboot=1 Reported-by: Jan Kiszka Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel

kgdb,debug-core,gdbstub: Hook the reboot notifier for debugger detach

2012-03-22T20:07:15Z

The gdbstub and kdb should get detached if the system is rebooting. Calling gdbstub_exit() will set the proper debug core state and send a message to any debugger that is connected to correctly detach. An attached debugger will receive the exit code from include/linux/reboot.h based on SYS_HALT, SYS_REBOOT, etc... Reported-by: Jan Kiszka Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel

debug_core,x86,blackfin: Clean up hw debug disable API

2010-10-29T18:14:41Z

The kgdb_disable_hw_debug() was an architecture specific function for disabling all hardware breakpoints on a per cpu basis when entering the debug core. This patch will remove the weak function kdbg_disable_hw_debug() and change it into a call back which lives with the rest of hw breakpoint call backs in struct kgdb_arch.

kdb,debug_core: adjust master cpu switch logic against new debug_core locking

2010-10-22T20:34:13Z

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.
