kdb: Make memory allocations more robust

2021-03-04T10:37:18Z

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 > /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.

kdb: Fix pager search for multi-line strings

2020-10-01T13:44:08Z

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.

kernel: debug: Centralize dbg_[de]activate_sw_breakpoints

2020-10-01T13:23:45Z

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: Honour the kprobe blocklist when setting breakpoints

2020-09-28T11:14:08Z

Currently kgdb has absolutely no safety rails in place to discourage or prevent a user from placing a breakpoint in dangerous places such as the debugger's own trap entry/exit and other places where it is not safe to take synchronous traps. Introduce a new config symbol KGDB_HONOUR_BLOCKLIST and modify the default implementation of kgdb_validate_break_address() so that we use the kprobe blocklist to prohibit instrumentation of critical functions if the config symbol is set. The config symbol dependencies are set to ensure that the blocklist will be enabled by default if we enable KGDB and are compiling for an architecture where we HAVE_KPROBES.

kdb: Use newer api for tasklist scanning

2020-09-08T13:36:46Z

This kills using the do_each_thread/while_each_thread combo to iterate all threads and uses for_each_process_thread() instead, maintaining semantics. while_each_thread() is ultimately racy and deprecated; although in this particular case there is no concurrency so it doesn't matter. Still lets trivially get rid of two more users.

kdb: remove unnecessary null check of dbg_io_ops

2020-09-08T13:34:40Z

`kdb_msg_write` operates on a global `struct kgdb_io *` called `dbg_io_ops`. It's initialized in `debug_core.c` and checked throughout the debug flow. There's a null check in `kdb_msg_write` which triggers static analyzers and gives the (almost entirely wrong) impression that it can be null. Coverity scanner caught this as CID 1465042. I have removed the unnecessary null check and eliminated false-positive forward null dereference warning.

treewide: Remove uninitialized_var() usage

2020-07-16T19:35:15Z

Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1] (or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings (e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized, either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes. In preparation for removing[2] the[3] macro[4], remove all remaining needless uses with the following script: git grep '\buninitialized_var\b' | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u | \ xargs perl -pi -e \ 's/\buninitialized_var$([^$]+)\)/\1/g; s:\s*/\* (GCC be quiet|to make compiler happy) \*/$::g;' drivers/video/fbdev/riva/riva_hw.c was manually tweaked to avoid pathological white-space. No outstanding warnings were found building allmodconfig with GCC 9.3.0 for x86_64, i386, arm64, arm, powerpc, powerpc64le, s390x, mips, sparc64, alpha, and m68k.

kdb: Switch to use safer dbg_io_ops over console APIs

2020-06-26T14:40:16Z

In kgdb context, calling console handlers aren't safe due to locks used in those handlers which could in turn lead to a deadlock. Although, using oops_in_progress increases the chance to bypass locks in most console handlers but it might not be sufficient enough in case a console uses more locks (VT/TTY is good example). Currently when a driver provides both polling I/O and a console then kdb will output using the console. We can increase robustness by using the currently active polling I/O driver (which should be lockless) instead of the corresponding console. For several common cases (e.g. an embedded system with a single serial port that is used both for console output and debugger I/O) this will result in no console handler being used. In order to achieve this we need to reverse the order of preference to use dbg_io_ops (uses polling I/O mode) over console APIs. So we just store "struct console" that represents debugger I/O in dbg_io_ops and while emitting kdb messages, skip console that matches dbg_io_ops console in order to avoid duplicate messages. After this change, "is_console" param becomes redundant and hence removed.

kdb: Make kdb_printf() console handling more robust

2020-06-25T11:04:30Z

While rounding up CPUs via NMIs, its possible that a rounded up CPU maybe holding a console port lock leading to kgdb master CPU stuck in a deadlock during invocation of console write operations. A similar deadlock could also be possible while using synchronous breakpoints. So in order to avoid such a deadlock, set oops_in_progress to encourage the console drivers to disregard their internal spin locks: in the current calling context the risk of deadlock is a bigger problem than risks due to re-entering the console driver. We operate directly on oops_in_progress rather than using bust_spinlocks() because the calls bust_spinlocks() makes on exit are not appropriate for this calling context.
