kdb: Fix handling of kallsyms_symbol_next() return value

2017-12-14T08:28:13Z

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

2017-01-06T09:40:17Z

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.

mm/init: Add 'rodata=off' boot cmdline parameter to disable read-only kernel mappings

2016-02-22T07:51:37Z

It may be useful to debug writes to the readonly sections of memory, so provide a cmdline "rodata=off" to allow for this. This can be expanded in the future to support "log" and "write" modes, but that will need to be architecture-specific. This also makes KDB software breakpoints more usable, as read-only mappings can now be disabled on any kernel. Suggested-by: H.

module: use a structure to encapsulate layout.

2015-12-04T21:46:25Z

Makes it easier to handle init vs core cleanly, though the change is fairly invasive across random architectures. It simplifies the rbtree code immediately, however, while keeping the core data together in the same cachline (now iff the rbtree code is enabled).

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

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
