kdb: make "mdr" command repeat

2018-05-30T05:49:17Z

[ Upstream commit 1e0ce03bf142454f38a5fc050bf4fd698d2d36d8 ] The "mdr" command should repeat (continue) when only Enter/Return is pressed, so make it do so.

kdb: Fix handling of kallsyms_symbol_next() return value

2017-12-16T09:33:49Z

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().

kernel/debug/debug_core.c: more properly delay for secondary CPUs

2017-01-06T10:16:16Z

commit 2d13bb6494c807bcf3f78af0e96c0b8615a94385 upstream. We've got a delay loop waiting for secondary CPUs. That loop uses loops_per_jiffy. However, loops_per_jiffy doesn't actually mean how many tight loops make up a jiffy on all architectures. It is quite common to see things like this in the boot log: Calibrating delay loop (skipped), value calculated using timer frequency.. 48.00 BogoMIPS (lpj=24000) In my case I was seeing lots of cases where other CPUs timed out entering the debugger only to print their stack crawls shortly after the kdb> prompt was written. Elsewhere in kgdb we already use udelay(), so that should be safe enough to use to implement our timeout. We'll delay 1 ms for 1000 times, which should give us a full second of delay (just like the old code wanted) but allow us to notice that we're done every 1 ms.

debug: prevent entering debug mode on panic/exception.

2015-02-19T18:39:03Z

On non-developer devices, kgdb prevents the device from rebooting after a panic. Incase of panics and exceptions, to allow the device to reboot, prevent entering debug mode to avoid getting stuck waiting for the user to interact with debugger. To avoid entering the debugger on panic/exception without any extra configuration, panic_timeout is being used which can be set via /proc/sys/kernel/panic at run time and CONFIG_PANIC_TIMEOUT sets the default value. Setting panic_timeout indicates that the user requested machine to perform unattended reboot after panic. We dont want to get stuck waiting for the user input incase of panic.

kdb: Const qualifier for kdb_getstr's prompt argument

2015-02-19T18:39:03Z

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. Signed-off-by: Daniel Thompson Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel

kdb: Provide forward search at more prompt

2015-02-19T18:39:03Z

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. Signed-off-by: Daniel Thompson Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel

kdb: Fix a prompt management bug when using | grep

2015-02-19T18:39:03Z

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. Signed-off-by: Daniel Thompson Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel

kdb: Remove stack dump when entering kgdb due to NMI

2015-02-19T18:39:02Z

Issuing a stack dump feels ergonomically wrong when entering due to NMI. Entering due to NMI is normally a reaction to a user request, either the NMI button on a server or a "magic knock" on a UART. Therefore the backtrace behaviour on entry due to NMI should be like SysRq-g (no stack dump) rather than like oops. Note also that the stack dump does not offer any information that cannot be trivial retrieved using the 'bt' command. Signed-off-by: Daniel Thompson Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel

kdb: Avoid printing KERN_ levels to consoles

2015-02-19T18:39:02Z

Currently when kdb traps printk messages then the raw log level prefix (consisting of '\001' followed by a numeral) does not get stripped off before the message is issued to the various I/O handlers supported by kdb. This causes annoying visual noise as well as causing problems grepping for ^. It is also a change of behaviour compared to normal usage of printk() usage. For example -h ends up with different output to that of kdb's "sr h". This patch addresses the problem by stripping log levels from messages before they are issued to the I/O handlers. printk() which can also act as an i/o handler in some cases is special cased; if the caller provided a log level then the prefix will be preserved when sent to printk(). The addition of non-printable characters to the output of kdb commands is a regression, albeit and extremely elderly one, introduced by commit 04d2c8c83d0e ("printk: convert the format for KERN_ to a 2 byte pattern"). Note also that this patch does *not* restore the original behaviour from v3.5. Instead it makes printk() from within a kdb command display the message without any prefix (i.e. like printk() normally does).

kdb: Fix off by one error in kdb_cpu()

2015-02-19T18:39:02Z

There was a follow on replacement patch against the prior "kgdb: Timeout if secondary CPUs ignore the roundup". See: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/1/7/442 This patch is the delta vs the patch that was committed upstream: * Fix an off-by-one error in kdb_cpu(). * Replace NR_CPUS with CONFIG_NR_CPUS to tell checkpatch that we really want a static limit. * Removed the "KGDB: " prefix from the pr_crit() in debug_core.c (kgdb-next contains a patch which introduced pr_fmt() to this file to the tag will now be applied automatically).
