kgdb/kdb: Fix no KDB config problem

2014-01-25T07:55:09Z

Some code added to the debug_core module had KDB dependencies that it shouldn't have. Move the KDB dependent REASON back to the caller to remove the dependency in the debug core code. Update the call from the UV NMI handler to conform to the new interface.

kdb: Add support for external NMI handler to call KGDB/KDB

2013-10-03T16:47:54Z

This patch adds a kgdb_nmicallin() interface that can be used by external NMI handlers to call the KGDB/KDB handler. The primary need for this is for those types of NMI interrupts where all the CPUs have already received the NMI signal. Therefore no send_IPI(NMI) is required, and in fact it will cause a 2nd unhandled NMI to occur. This generates the "Dazed and Confuzed" messages. Since all the CPUs are getting the NMI at roughly the same time, it's not guaranteed that the first CPU that hits the NMI handler will manage to enter KGDB and set the dbg_master_lock before the slaves start entering. The new argument "send_ready" was added for KGDB to signal the NMI handler to release the slave CPUs for entry into KGDB.

kgdb/sysrq: fix inconstistent help message of sysrq key

2013-05-01T00:04:10Z

Currently help message of /proc/sysrq-trigger highlight its upper-case characters, like below: SysRq : HELP : loglevel(0-9) reBoot Crash terminate-all-tasks(E) memory-full-oom-kill(F) kill-all-tasks(I) ... this would confuse user trigger sysrq by upper-case character, which is inconsistent with the real lower-case character registed key. This inconsistent help message will also lead more confused when 26 upper-case letters put into use in future.

Pull KGDB/KDB fixes and cleanups from Jason Wessel: "For a change we removed more code than we added. If people aren't using it we shouldn't be carrying it. :-) Cleanups: - Remove kdb ssb command - there is no in kernel disassembler to support it - Remove kdb ll command - Always caused a kernel oops and there were no bug reports so no one was using this command - Use kernel ARRAY_SIZE macro instead of array computations Fixes: - Stop oops in kdb if user executes kdb_defcmd with args - kdb help command truncated text - ppc64 support for kgdbts - Add missing kconfig option from original kdb port for dealing with catastrophic kernel crashes such that you can reboot automatically on continue from kdb" * tag 'for_linux-3.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jwessel/kgdb: kdb: Remove unhandled ssb command kdb: Prevent kernel oops with kdb_defcmd kdb: Remove the ll command kdb_main: fix help print kdb: Fix overlap in buffers with strcpy Fixed dead ifdef block by adding missing Kconfig option. kdb: Setup basic kdb state before invoking commands via kgdb kdb: use ARRAY_SIZE where possible kgdb/kgdbts: support ppc64 kdb: A fix for kdb command table expansion

kdb: Remove unhandled ssb command

2013-03-02T14:52:20Z

The 'ssb' command can only be handled when we have a disassembler, to check for branches, so remove the 'ssb' command for now. Signed-off-by: Vincent Stehlé Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel

kdb: Prevent kernel oops with kdb_defcmd

2013-03-02T14:52:19Z

The kdb_defcmd can only be used to display the available command aliases while using the kernel debug shell. If you try to define a new macro while the kernel debugger is active it will oops. The debug shell macros must use pre-allocated memory set aside at the time kdb_init() is run, and the kdb_defcmd is restricted to only working at the time that the kdb_init sequence is being run, which only occurs if you actually activate the kernel debugger.

kdb: Remove the ll command

2013-03-02T14:52:19Z

Recently some code inspection was done after fixing a problem with kmalloc used while in the kernel debugger context (which is not legal), and it turned up the fact that kdb ll command will oops the kernel. Given that there have been zero bug reports on the command combined with the fact it will oops the kernel it is clearly not being used. Instead of fixing it, it will be removed.

kdb_main: fix help print

2013-03-02T14:52:18Z

The help command was chopping all the usage instructions such that they were not readable. Example: bta [D|R|S|T|C|Z|E|U|I| Backtrace all processes matching state flag per_cpu [] [ [] [] Display per_cpu variables All that is needed is to check the how long the cmd_usage is and jump to the next line when appropriate.

kdb: Fix overlap in buffers with strcpy

2013-03-02T14:52:18Z

Maxime reported that strcpy(s->usage, s->usage+1) has no definitive guarantee that it will work on all archs the same way when you have overlapping memory. The fix is simple for the kdb code because we still have the original string memory in the function scope, so we just have to use that as the argument instead.

kdb: Setup basic kdb state before invoking commands via kgdb

2013-03-02T14:52:17Z

Although invasive kdb commands are not supported via kgdb, some useful non-invasive commands like bt* require basic kdb state to be setup before calling into the kdb code. Factor out some of this code and call it before and after executing kdb commands via kgdb. Signed-off-by: Matt Klein Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel
