<content type='text'>
commit 93f7a6d818deef69d0ba652d46bae6fbabbf365c upstream.

Currently kdb uses in_interrupt() to determine whether its library
code has been called from the kgdb trap handler or from a saner calling
context such as driver init. This approach is broken because
in_interrupt() alone isn't able to determine kgdb trap handler entry from
normal task context. This can happen during normal use of basic features
such as breakpoints and can also be trivially reproduced using:
echo g &gt; /proc/sysrq-trigger

We can improve this by adding check for in_dbg_master() instead which
explicitly determines if we are running in debugger context.

[ Upstream commit d081a6e353168f15e63eb9e9334757f20343319f ]

Currently using forward search doesn't handle multi-line strings correctly.
The search routine replaces line breaks with \0 during the search and, for
regular searches ("help | grep Common\n"), there is code after the line
has been discarded or printed to replace the break character.

However during a pager search ("help\n" followed by "/Common\n") when the
string is matched we will immediately return to normal output and the code
that should restore the \n becomes unreachable. Fix this by restoring the
replaced character when we disable the search mode and update the comment
accordingly.

Fixes: fb6daa7520f9d ("kdb: Provide forward search at more prompt")

The "whichcpu" comes from argv[3].  The cpu_online() macro looks up the
cpu in a bitmap of online cpus, but if the value is too high then it
could read beyond the end of the bitmap and possibly Oops.

commit 2cf2f0d5b91fd1b06a6ae260462fc7945ea84add upstream.

gcc discovered that the memcpy() arguments in kdbnearsym() overlap, so
we should really use memmove(), which is defined to handle that correctly:

In function 'memcpy',
    inlined from 'kdbnearsym' at /git/arm-soc/kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_support.c:132:4:

  return __builtin_memcpy(p, q, size);

commit c07d35338081d107e57cf37572d8cc931a8e32e2 upstream.

kallsyms_symbol_next() returns a boolean (true on success). Currently
kdb_read() tests the return value with an inequality that
unconditionally evaluates to true.

This is fixed in the obvious way and, since the conditional branch is
supposed to be unreachable, we also add a WARN_ON().

All current callers of kdb_getstr() can pass constant pointers via the
prompt argument. This patch adds a const qualification to make explicit
the fact that this is safe.

Currently kdb allows the output of comamnds to be filtered using the
| grep feature. This is useful but does not permit the output emitted
shortly after a string match to be examined without wading through the
entire unfiltered output of the command. Such a feature is particularly
useful to navigate function traces because these traces often have a
useful trigger string *before* the point of interest.

This patch reuses the existing filtering logic to introduce a simple
forward search to kdb that can be triggered from the more prompt.

<title>kdb: Fix a prompt management bug when using | grep</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ab08e464a2cd8242fdc6e4f87f3480808364a97a</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently when the "| grep" feature is used to filter the output of a
command then the prompt is not displayed for the subsequent command.
Likewise any characters typed by the user are also not echoed to the
display. This rather disconcerting problem eventually corrects itself
when the user presses Enter and the kdb_grepping_flag is cleared as
kdb_parse() tries to make sense of whatever they typed.

This patch resolves the problem by moving the clearing of this flag
from the middle of command processing to the beginning.
