kgdb: fix to kill breakpoints on initmem after boot

2021-02-26T17:41:05Z

Currently breakpoints in kernel .init.text section are not handled correctly while allowing to remove them even after corresponding pages have been freed. Fix it via killing .init.text section breakpoints just prior to initmem pages being freed. Doug: "HW breakpoints aren't handled by this patch but it's probably not such a big deal".

kgdb: Remove kgdb_schedule_breakpoint()

2021-02-11T10:51:56Z

To the very best of my knowledge there has never been any in-tree code that calls this function. It exists largely to support an out-of-tree driver that provides kgdb-over-ethernet using the netpoll API. kgdboe has been out-of-tree for more than 10 years and I don't recall any serious attempt to upstream it at any point in the last five. At this stage it looks better to stop carrying this code in the kernel and integrate the code into the out-of-tree driver instead. The long term trajectory for the kernel looks likely to include effort to remove or reduce the use of tasklets (something that has also been true for the last 10 years). Thus the main real reason for this patch is to make explicit that the in-tree kgdb features do not require tasklets.

kdb: Make memory allocations more robust

2021-02-08T13:42:50Z

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: kdb_support: Fix debugging information problem

2021-02-04T15:55:04Z

There are several common patterns. 0: kdb_printf("...",...); which is the normal one. 1: kdb_printf("%s: "...,__func__,...) We could improve '1' to this : #define kdb_func_printf(format, args...) \ kdb_printf("%s: " format, __func__, ## args) 2: if(KDB_DEBUG(AR)) kdb_printf("%s "...,__func__,...); We could improve '2' to this : #define kdb_dbg_printf(mask, format, args...) \ do { \ if (KDB_DEBUG(mask)) \ kdb_func_printf(format, ## args); \ } while (0) In addition, we changed the format code of size_t to %zu.

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: Add NOKPROBE labels on the trap handler functions

2020-10-01T13:23:21Z

Currently kgdb honours the kprobe blocklist but doesn't place its own trap handling code on the list. Add labels to discourage attempting to use kgdb to debug itself. Not every functions that executes from the trap handler needs to be marked up: relatively early in the trap handler execution (just after we bring the other CPUs to a halt) all breakpoints are replaced with the original opcodes. This patch marks up code in the debug_core that executes between trap entry and the breakpoints being deactivated and, also, code that executes between breakpoint activation and trap exit. To be clear these changes are not sufficient to make recursive trapping impossible since they do not include library calls made during kgdb's entry/exit logic. However going much further whilst we are sharing the kprobe blocklist risks reducing the capabilities of kprobe and this would be a bad trade off (especially so given kgdb's users are currently conditioned to avoid recursive traps).
