kgdb: Make "kgdbcon" work properly with "kgdb_earlycon"

2020-11-05T10:51:20Z

[ Upstream commit b18b099e04f450cdc77bec72acefcde7042bd1f3 ] On my system the kernel processes the "kgdb_earlycon" parameter before the "kgdbcon" parameter. When we setup "kgdb_earlycon" we'll end up in kgdb_register_callbacks() and "kgdb_use_con" won't have been set yet so we'll never get around to starting "kgdbcon". Let's remedy this by detecting that the IO module was already registered when setting "kgdb_use_con" and registering the console then. As part of this, to avoid pre-declaring things, move the handling of the "kgdbcon" further down in the file.

kdb: Fix pager search for multi-line strings

2020-10-29T09:11:47Z

[ Upstream commit d081a6e353168f15e63eb9e9334757f20343319f ] 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.

treewide: Remove uninitialized_var() usage

2020-07-16T19:35:15Z

Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1] (or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings (e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized, either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes. In preparation for removing[2] the[3] macro[4], remove all remaining needless uses with the following script: git grep '\buninitialized_var\b' | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u | \ xargs perl -pi -e \ 's/\buninitialized_var$([^$]+)\)/\1/g; s:\s*/\* (GCC be quiet|to make compiler happy) \*/$::g;' drivers/video/fbdev/riva/riva_hw.c was manually tweaked to avoid pathological white-space.

kgdb: enable arch to support XML packet.

2020-07-10T03:09:28Z

The XML packet could be supported by required architecture if the architecture defines CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_KGDB_QXFER_PKT and implement its own kgdb_arch_handle_qxfer_pkt(). Except for the kgdb_arch_handle_qxfer_pkt(), the architecture also needs to record the feature supported by gdb stub into the kgdb_arch_gdb_stub_feature, and these features will be reported to host gdb when gdb stub receives the qSupported packet.

kgdb: Avoid suspicious RCU usage warning

At times when I'm using kgdb I see a splat on my console about suspicious RCU usage. I managed to come up with a case that could reproduce this that looked like this: WARNING: suspicious RCU usage 5.7.0-rc4+ #609 Not tainted ----------------------------- kernel/pid.c:395 find_task_by_pid_ns() needs rcu_read_lock() protection! other info that might help us debug this: rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1 3 locks held by swapper/0/1: #0: ffffff81b6b8e988 (&dev->mutex){....}-{3:3}, at: __device_attach+0x40/0x13c #1: ffffffd01109e9e8 (dbg_master_lock){....}-{2:2}, at: kgdb_cpu_enter+0x20c/0x7ac #2: ffffffd01109ea90 (dbg_slave_lock){....}-{2:2}, at: kgdb_cpu_enter+0x3ec/0x7ac stack backtrace: CPU: 7 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 5.7.0-rc4+ #609 Hardware name: Google Cheza (rev3+) (DT) Call trace: dump_backtrace+0x0/0x1b8 show_stack+0x1c/0x24 dump_stack+0xd4/0x134 lockdep_rcu_suspicious+0xf0/0x100 find_task_by_pid_ns+0x5c/0x80 getthread+0x8c/0xb0 gdb_serial_stub+0x9d4/0xd04 kgdb_cpu_enter+0x284/0x7ac kgdb_handle_exception+0x174/0x20c kgdb_brk_fn+0x24/0x30 call_break_hook+0x6c/0x7c brk_handler+0x20/0x5c do_debug_exception+0x1c8/0x22c el1_sync_handler+0x3c/0xe4 el1_sync+0x7c/0x100 rpmh_rsc_probe+0x38/0x420 platform_drv_probe+0x94/0xb4 really_probe+0x134/0x300 driver_probe_device+0x68/0x100 __device_attach_driver+0x90/0xa8 bus_for_each_drv+0x84/0xcc __device_attach+0xb4/0x13c device_initial_probe+0x18/0x20 bus_probe_device+0x38/0x98 device_add+0x38c/0x420 If I understand properly we should just be able to blanket kgdb under one big RCU read lock and the problem should go away.

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.
