sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to

2017-03-02T07:42:34+00:00

We are going to split  out of , which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.

Create a trivial placeholder  file that just
maps to  to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.

Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

kdb: remove unused kdb_event handling

2016-12-15T00:04:08+00:00

kdb_event state variable is only set but never checked in the kernel
code.

http://www.spinics.net/lists/kdb/msg01733.html suggests that this
variable affected WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED() in the original
implementation.  But this check never went upstream.

The semantic is unclear and racy.  The value is updated after the
kdb_printf_lock is acquired and after it is released.  It should be
symmetric at minimum.  The value should be manipulated either inside or
outside the locked area.

Fortunately, it seems that the original function is gone and we could
simply remove the state variable.

module: use a structure to encapsulate layout.

2015-12-04T21:46:25+00:00

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).

kdb: Provide forward search at more prompt

2015-02-19T18:39:03+00:00

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.

kdb: Fix a prompt management bug when using | grep

2015-02-19T18:39:03+00:00

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.

kdb: Remove stack dump when entering kgdb due to NMI

2015-02-19T18:39:02+00:00

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.

kdb: Fix off by one error in kdb_cpu()

2015-02-19T18:39:02+00:00

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).

kdb: fix incorrect counts in KDB summary command output

2015-02-19T18:39:02+00:00

The output of KDB 'summary' command should report MemTotal, MemFree
and Buffers output in kB. Current codes report in unit of pages.

A define of K(x) as
is defined in the code, but not used.

This patch would apply the define to convert the values to kB.
