2010-10-29kdb: Fix early debugging crash regressionJason Wessel
The kdb_current legally be equal to NULL in the early boot of the x86 arch. The problem pcan be observed by booting with the kernel arguments: earlyprintk=vga ekgdboc=kbd kgdbwait The kdb shell will oops on entry and recursively fault because it cannot get past the final stage of shell initialization.

2010-10-29kdb: fix per_cpu command to remove supress maskJason Wessel
Rusty pointed out that the per_cpu command uses up lots of space on the stack and the cpu supress mask is probably not needed. This patch removes the need for the supress mask as well as fixing up the following problems with the kdb per_cpu command: * The per_cpu command should allow an address as an argument * When you have more data than can be displayed on one screen allow the user to break out of the print loop.

2010-10-22kdb,debug_core: adjust master cpu switch logic against new debug_core lockingJason Wessel
The kdb shell needs to enforce switching back to the original CPU that took the exception before restoring normal kernel execution. Resuming from a different CPU than what took the original exception will cause problems with spin locks that are freed from the a different processor than had taken the lock. The special logic in dbg_cpu_switch() can go away entirely with because the state of what cpus want to be masters or slaves will remain unchanged between entry and exit of the debug_core exception context.

2010-10-22kdb: Fix oops in kdb_unregisterJason Wessel
Nothing should try to use kdb_commands directly as sometimes it is null. Instead, use the for_each_kdbcmd() iterator. This particular problem dates back to the initial kdb merge (2.6.35), but at that point nothing was dynamically unregistering commands from the kdb shell.

2010-10-22kdb: Allow kernel loadable modules to add kdb shell functionsJason Wessel
In order to allow kernel modules to dynamically add a command to the kdb shell the kdb_register, kdb_register_repeat, kdb_unregister, and kdb_printf need to be exported as GPL symbols. Any kernel module that adds a dynamic kdb shell function should only need to include linux/kdb.h. Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>

2010-08-16kdb: fix compile error without CONFIG_KALLSYMSJason Wessel
If CONFIG_KGDB_KDB is set and CONFIG_KALLSYMS is not set the kernel will fail to build with the error: kernel/built-in.o: In function `kallsyms_symbol_next': kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_support.c:237: undefined reference to `kdb_walk_kallsyms' kernel/built-in.o: In function `kallsyms_symbol_complete': kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_support.c:193: undefined reference to `kdb_walk_kallsyms' The kdb_walk_kallsyms needs a #ifdef proper header to match the C implementation. This patch also fixes the compiler warnings in kdb_support.c when compiling without CONFIG_KALLSYMS set. The compiler warnings are a result of the kallsyms_lookup() macro not initializing the two of the pass by reference variables.

2010-08-05vt,console,kdb: automatically set kdb LINES variableJason Wessel
The kernel console interface stores the number of lines it is configured to use. The kdb debugger can greatly benefit by knowing how many lines there are on the console for the pager functionality without having the end user compile in the setting or have to repeatedly change it at run time.

2010-08-05kgdb,kdb: individual register set and and get APIJason Wessel
The kdb shell specification includes the ability to get and set architecture specific registers by name. For the time being individual register get and set will be implemented on a per architecture basis. If an architecture defines DBG_MAX_REG_NUM > 0 then kdb and the gdbstub will use the capability for individually getting and setting architecture specific registers.

2010-07-21Fix merge regression from external kdb to upstream kdbJason Wessel
In the process of merging kdb to the mainline, the kdb lsmod command stopped printing the base load address of kernel modules. This is needed for using kdb in conjunction with external tools such as gdb. Simply restore the functionality by adding a kdb_printf for the base load address of the kernel modules.

2010-05-20printk,kdb: capture printk() when in kdb shellJason Wessel
Certain calls from the kdb shell will call out to printk(), and any of these calls should get vectored back to the kdb_printf() so that the kdb pager and processing can be used, as well as to properly channel I/O to the polled I/O devices.

2010-05-20kgdboc,keyboard: Keyboard driver for kdb with kgdbJason Wessel
This patch adds in the kdb PS/2 keyboard driver. This was mostly a direct port from the original kdb where I cleaned up the code against checkpatch.pl and added the glue to stitch it into kgdb. This patch also enables early kdb debug via kgdbwait and the keyboard. All the access to configure kdb using either a serial console or the keyboard is done via kgdboc. If you want to use only the keyboard and want to break in early you would add to your kernel command arguments: kgdboc=kbd kgdbwait If you wanted serial and or the keyboard access you could use: kgdboc=kbd,ttyS0 You can also configure kgdboc as a kernel module or at run time with the sysfs where you can activate and deactivate kgdb. Turn it on: echo kbd,ttyS0 > /sys/module/kgdboc/parameters/kgdboc Turn it off: echo "" > /sys/module/kgdboc/parameters/kgdboc Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com> Reviewed-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com>
2010-05-20kgdb: gdb "monitor" -> kdb passthroughJason Wessel
One of the driving forces behind integrating another front end (kdb) to the debug core is to allow front end commands to be accessible via gdb's monitor command. It is true that you could write gdb macros to get certain data, but you may want to just use gdb to access the commands that are available in the kdb front end. This patch implements the Rcmd gdb stub packet. In gdb you access this with the "monitor" command. For instance you could type "monitor help", "monitor lsmod" or "monitor ps A" etc... There is no error checking or command restrictions on what you can and cannot access at this point. Doing something like trying to set breakpoints with the monitor command is going to cause nothing but problems. Perhaps in the future only the commands that are actually known to work with the gdb monitor command will be available. Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>
2010-05-20kgdb,8250,pl011: Return immediately from console pollJason Wessel
The design of the kdb shell requires that every device that can provide input to kdb have a polling routine that exits immediately if there is no character available. This is required in order to get the page scrolling mechanism working. Changing the kernel debugger I/O API to require all polling character routines to exit immediately if there is no data allows the kernel debugger to process multiple input channels. NO_POLL_CHAR will be the return code to the polling routine when ever there is no character available. CC: linux-serial@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>
2010-05-20kdb: core for kgdb back end (1 of 2)Jason Wessel
This patch contains only the kdb core. Because the change set was large, it was split. The next patch in the series includes the instrumentation into the core kernel which are mainly helper functions for kdb. This work is directly derived from kdb v4.4 found at: ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/kdb/download/v4.4/ The kdb internals have been re-organized to make them mostly platform independent and to connect everything to the debug core which is used by gdbstub (which has long been known as kgdb). The original version of kdb was 58,000 lines worth of changes to support x86. From that implementation only the kdb shell, and basic commands for memory access, runcontrol, lsmod, and dmesg where carried forward. This is a generic implementation which aims to cover all the current architectures using the kgdb core: ppc, arm, x86, mips, sparc, sh and blackfin. More archictectures can be added by implementing the architecture specific kgdb functions.
