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.

kdb: don't play with console_loglevel

2020-06-09T16:39:12Z

Print the stack trace with KERN_EMERG - it should be always visible. Playing with console_loglevel is a bad idea as there may be more messages printed than wanted. Also the stack trace might be not printed at all if printk() was deferred and console_loglevel was raised back before the trace got flushed. Unfortunately, after rebasing on commit 2277b492582d ("kdb: Fix stack crawling on 'running' CPUs that aren't the master"), kdb_show_stack() uses now kdb_dump_stack_on_cpu(), which for now won't be converted as it uses dump_stack() instead of show_stack(). Convert for now the branch that uses show_stack() and remove console_loglevel exercise from that case.

kdb: Remove the misfeature 'KDBFLAGS'

2020-06-02T14:15:46Z

Currently, 'KDBFLAGS' is an internal variable of kdb, it is combined by 'KDBDEBUG' and state flags. It will be shown only when 'KDBDEBUG' is set, and the user can define an environment variable named 'KDBFLAGS' too. These are puzzling indeed. After communication with Daniel, it seems that 'KDBFLAGS' is a misfeature. So let's replace 'KDBFLAGS' with 'KDBDEBUG' to just show the value we wrote into. After this modification, we can use `md4c1 kdb_flags` instead, to observe the state flags.

kdb: Cleanup math with KDB_CMD_HISTORY_COUNT

2020-06-02T14:15:46Z

From code inspection the math in handle_ctrl_cmd() looks super sketchy because it subjects -1 from cmdptr and then does a "% KDB_CMD_HISTORY_COUNT". It turns out that this code works because "cmdptr" is unsigned and KDB_CMD_HISTORY_COUNT is a nice power of 2. Let's make this a little less sketchy. This patch should be a no-op.
