2011-01-07x86, NMI: Remove DIE_NMI_IPIDon Zickus
With priorities in place and no one really understanding the difference between DIE_NMI and DIE_NMI_IPI, just remove DIE_NMI_IPI and convert everyone to DIE_NMI. This also simplifies default_do_nmi() a little bit. Instead of calling the die_notifier in both the if and else part, just pull it out and call it before the if-statement. This has the side benefit of avoiding a call to the ioport to see if there is an external NMI sitting around until after the (more frequent) internal NMIs are dealt with.

2011-01-07x86, NMI: Add priorities to handlersDon Zickus
In order to consolidate the NMI die_chain events, we need to setup the priorities for the die notifiers. I started by defining a bunch of common priorities that can be used by the notifier blocks. Then I modified the notifier blocks to use the newly created priorities. Now that the priorities are straightened out, it should be easier to remove the event DIE_NMI_IPI.

2010-11-17kgdb,x86: fix regression in detach handlingJason Wessel
The fix from ba773f7c510c0b252145933926c636c439889207 (x86,kgdb: Fix hw breakpoint regression) was not entirely complete. The kgdb_remove_all_hw_break() function also needs to call the hw_break_release_slot() or else a breakpoint can get activated again after the debugger has detached. The kgdb test suite exposes the behavior in the form of either a hang or repetitive failure. The kernel config that exposes the problem contains all of the following: CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=y CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS=y CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS_ON_BOOT=y CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS_BOOT_STRING="V1F100" Reported-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com> Tested-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>

2010-10-22x86,kgdb: fix debugger hw breakpoint test regression in 2.6.35Jason Wessel
HW breakpoints events stopped working correctly with kgdb as a result of commit: 018cbffe6819f6f8db20a0a3acd9bab9bfd667e4 (Merge commit 'v2.6.33' into perf/core), later commit: ba773f7c510c0b252145933926c636c439889207 (x86,kgdb: Fix hw breakpoint regression) allowed breakpoints to propagate to the debugger core but did not completely address the original regression in functionality found in 2.6.35. When the DR_STEP flag is set in dr6 along with any of the DR_TRAP bits, the kgdb exception handler will enter once from the hw_breakpoint API call back and again from the die notifier for do_debug(), which causes the debugger to stop twice and also for the kgdb regression tests to fail running under kvm with: echo V2I1 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts To address the problem, the kgdb overflow handler needs to implement the same logic as the ptrace overflow handler call back with respect to updating the virtual copy of dr6. This will allow the kgdb do_debug() die notifier to properly handle the exception and the attached debugger, or kgdb test suite, will only receive a single notification.

2010-07-28x86,kgdb: Fix hw breakpoint regressionJason Wessel
HW breakpoints events stopped working correctly with kgdb as a result of commit: 018cbffe6819f6f8db20a0a3acd9bab9bfd667e4 (Merge commit 'v2.6.33' into perf/core). The regression occurred because the behavior changed for setting NOTIFY_STOP as the return value to the die notifier if the breakpoint was known to the HW breakpoint API. Because kgdb is using the HW breakpoint API to register HW breakpoints slots, it must also now implement the overflow_handler call back else kgdb does not get to see the events from the die notifier. The kgdb_ll_trap function will be changed to be general purpose code which can allow an easy way to implement the hw_breakpoint API overflow call back.

2010-05-20x86,kgdb: Implement early hardware breakpoint debuggingJason Wessel
It is not possible to use the hw_breakpoint.c API prior to mm_init(), but it is possible to use hardware breakpoints with the kernel debugger. Prior to smp_init() it is possible to simply write to the dr registers of the boot cpu directly. This can be used up until the kgdb_arch_late() is invoked, at which point the standard hw_breakpoint.c API will get used.

2010-05-20x86, kgdb, init: Add early and late debug statesJason Wessel
The kernel debugger can operate well before mm_init(), but the x86 hardware breakpoint code which uses the perf api requires that the kernel allocators are initialized. This means the kernel debug core needs to provide an optional arch specific call back to allow the initialization functions to run after the kernel has been further initialized. The kdb shell already had a similar restriction with an early initialization and late initialization. The kdb_init() was moved into the debug core's version of the late init which is called dbg_late_init(); CC: kgdb-bugreport@lists.sourceforge.net Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>
2010-05-20x86,kgdb: Add low level debug hookJason Wessel
The only way the debugger can handle a trap in inside rcu_lock, notify_die, or atomic_notifier_call_chain without a triple fault is to have a low level "first opportunity handler" in the int3 exception handler. Generally this will be something the vast majority of folks will not need, but for those who need it, it is added as a kernel .config option called KGDB_LOW_LEVEL_TRAP.

2010-05-20kgdb: core changes to support kdbJason Wessel
These are the minimum changes to the kgdb core in order to enable an API to connect a new front end (kdb) to the debug core. This patch introduces the dbg_kdb_mode variable controls where the user level I/O is routed. It will be routed to the gdbstub (kgdb) or to the kdb front end which is a simple shell available over the kgdboc connection. You can switch back and forth between kdb or the gdb stub mode of operation dynamically. From gdb stub mode you can blindly type "$3#33", or from the kdb mode you can enter "kgdb" to switch to the gdb stub. The logic in the debug core depends on kdb to look for the typical gdb connection sequences and return immediately with KGDB_PASS_EVENT if a gdb serial command sequence is detected. That should allow a reasonably seamless transition between kdb -> gdb without leaving the kernel exception state. The two gdb serial queries that kdb is responsible for detecting are the "?" and "qSupported" packets.

2010-01-30perf, hw_breakpoint, kgdb: Do not take mutex for kernel debuggerJason Wessel
This patch fixes the regression in functionality where the kernel debugger and the perf API do not nicely share hw breakpoint reservations. The kernel debugger cannot use any mutex_lock() calls because it can start the kernel running from an invalid context. A mutex free version of the reservation API needed to get created for the kernel debugger to safely update hw breakpoint reservations. The possibility for a breakpoint reservation to be concurrently processed at the time that kgdb interrupts the system is improbable. Should this corner case occur the end user is warned, and the kernel debugger will prohibit updating the hardware breakpoint reservations. Any time the kernel debugger reserves a hardware breakpoint it will be a system wide reservation.

2010-01-30x86, hw_breakpoints, kgdb: Fix kgdb to use hw_breakpoint APIJason Wessel
In the 2.6.33 kernel, the hw_breakpoint API is now used for the performance event counters. The hw_breakpoint_handler() now consumes the hw breakpoints that were previously set by kgdb arch specific code. In order for kgdb to work in conjunction with this core API change, kgdb must use some of the low level functions of the hw_breakpoint API to install, uninstall, and deal with hw breakpoint reservations. The kgdb core required a change to call kgdb_disable_hw_debug anytime a slave cpu enters kgdb_wait() in order to keep all the hw breakpoints in sync as well as to prevent hitting a hw breakpoint while kgdb is active. During the architecture specific initialization of kgdb, it will pre-allocate 4 disabled (struct perf event **) structures. Kgdb will use these to manage the capabilities for the 4 hw breakpoint registers, per cpu. Right now the hw_breakpoint API does not have a way to ask how many breakpoints are available, on each CPU so it is possible that the install of a breakpoint might fail when kgdb restores the system to the run state. The intent of this patch is to first get the basic functionality of hw breakpoints working and leave it to the person debugging the kernel to understand what hw breakpoints are in use and what restrictions have been imposed as a result. Breakpoint constraints will be dealt with in a future patch. While atomic, the x86 specific kgdb code will call arch_uninstall_hw_breakpoint() and arch_install_hw_breakpoint() to manage the cpu specific hw breakpoints. The net result of these changes allow kgdb to use the same pool of hw_breakpoints that are used by the perf event API, but neither knows about future reservations for the available hw breakpoint slots.

2009-12-11kgdb,x86: do not set kgdb_single_step on x86Jason Wessel
On an SMP system the kgdb_single_step flag has the possibility to indefinitely hang the system in the case. Consider the case where, CPU 1 has the schedule lock and CPU 0 is set to single step, there is no way for CPU 0 to run another task. The easy way to observe the problem is to make 2 cpus busy, and run the kgdb test suite. You will see that it hangs the system very quickly. while [ 1 ] ; do find /proc > /dev/null 2>&1 ; done & while [ 1 ] ; do find /proc > /dev/null 2>&1 ; done & echo V1 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts The side effect of this patch is that there is the possibility to miss a breakpoint in the case that a single step operation was executed to step over a breakpoint in common code. The trade off of the missed breakpoint is preferred to hanging the kernel. This can be fixed in the future by using kprobes or another strategy to step over planted breakpoints with out of line execution.

2008-09-26kgdb, x86, arm, mips, powerpc: ignore user space single steppingJason Wessel
On the x86 arch, user space single step exceptions should be ignored if they occur in the kernel space, such as ptrace stepping through a system call. First check if it is kgdb that is executing a single step, then ensure it is not an accidental traversal into the user space, while in kgdb, any other time the TIF_SINGLESTEP is set, kgdb should ignore the exception. On x86, arm, mips and powerpc, the kgdb_contthread usage was inconsistent with the way single stepping is implemented in the kgdb core. The arch specific stub should always set the kgdb_cpu_doing_single_step correctly if it is single stepping. This allows kgdb to correctly process an instruction steps if ptrace happens to be requesting an instruction step over a system call. Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>

2008-04-17kgdb: add x86 HW breakpointsJason Wessel
Add HW breakpoints into the arch specific portion of x86 kgdb. In the current x86 kernel.org kernels HW breakpoints are changed out in lazy fashion because there is no infrastructure around changing them when changing to a kernel task or entering the kernel mode via a system call. This lazy approach means that if a user process uses HW breakpoints the kgdb will loose out. This is an acceptable trade off because the developer debugging the kernel is assumed to know what is going on system wide and would be aware of this trade off. There is a minor bug fix to the kgdb core so as to correctly call the hw breakpoint functions with a valid value from the enum. There is also a minor change to the x86_64 startup code when using early HW breakpoints. When the debugger is connected, the cpu startup code must not zero out the HW breakpoint registers or you cannot hit the breakpoints you are interested in, in the first place.

2008-04-17kgdb: fix NMI hangsJason Wessel
This patch fixes the hang regression with kgdb when the NMI interrupt comes in while the master core is returning from an exception. Adjust the NMI logic such that KGDB will not stop NMI exceptions from occurring by in general returning NOTIFY_DONE. It is not possible to distinguish the debug NMI sync vs the normal NMI apic interrupt so kgdb needs to catch the unknown NMI if it the debugger was previously active on one of the cpus.
