2013-02-04kgdb: remove #include <linux/serial_8250.h> from kgdb.hGreg Kroah-Hartman
There's no reason kgdb.h itself needs to include the 8250 serial port header file. So push it down to the _very_ limited number of individual drivers that need the values in that file, and fix up the places where people really wanted serial_core.h and platform_device.h.

2012-09-26tty/serial: Add kgdb_nmi driverAnton Vorontsov
This special driver makes it possible to temporary use NMI debugger port as a normal console by issuing 'nmi_console' command (assuming that the port is attached to KGDB). Unlike KDB's disable_nmi command, with this driver you are always able to go back to the debugger using KGDB escape sequence ($3#33). This is because this console driver processes the input in NMI context, and thus is able to intercept the magic sequence. Note that since the console interprets input and uses polling communication methods, for things like PPP it is still better to fully detach debugger port from the KGDB NMI (i.e. disable_nmi), and use raw console. Usually, to enter the debugger one have to type the magic sequence, so initially the kernel will print the following prompt on the NMI debugger console: Type $3#33 to enter the debugger> For convenience, there is a kgdb_fiq.knock kernel command line option, when set to 0, this turns the special command to just a return key press, so the kernel will be printing this: Hit <return> to enter the debugger> This is more convenient for long debugging sessions, although it makes nmi_console feature somewhat useless. And for the cases when NMI connected to a dedicated button, the knocking can be disabled altogether by setting kgdb_fiq.knock to -1.

2012-09-26kernel/debug: Mask KGDB NMI upon entryAnton Vorontsov
The new arch callback should manage NMIs that usually cause KGDB to enter. That is, not all NMIs should be enabled/disabled, but only those that issue kgdb_handle_exception(). We must mask it as serial-line interrupt can be used as an NMI, so if the original KGDB-entry cause was say a breakpoint, then every input to KDB console will cause KGDB to reenter, which we don't want.

2012-03-29x86,kgdb: Fix DEBUG_RODATA limitation using text_poke()Jason Wessel
There has long been a limitation using software breakpoints with a kernel compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA going back to 2.6.26. For this particular patch, it will apply cleanly and has been tested all the way back to 2.6.36. The kprobes code uses the text_poke() function which accommodates writing a breakpoint into a read-only page. The x86 kgdb code can solve the problem similarly by overriding the default breakpoint set/remove routines and using text_poke() directly. The x86 kgdb code will first attempt to use the traditional probe_kernel_write(), and next try using a the text_poke() function. The break point install method is tracked such that the correct break point removal routine will get called later on.

2012-03-29kgdb,debug_core: pass the breakpoint struct instead of address and memoryJason Wessel
There is extra state information that needs to be exposed in the kgdb_bpt structure for tracking how a breakpoint was installed. The debug_core only uses the the probe_kernel_write() to install breakpoints, but this is not enough for all the archs. Some arch such as x86 need to use text_poke() in order to install a breakpoint into a read only page. Passing the kgdb_bpt structure to kgdb_arch_set_breakpoint() and kgdb_arch_remove_breakpoint() allows other archs to set the type variable which indicates how the breakpoint was installed.

2011-03-18KGDB: Notify GDB of machine halt, reboot or power offDavid Howells
Notify GDB of the machine halting, rebooting or powering off by sending it an exited command (remote protocol command 'W'). This is done by calling: void gdbstub_exit(int status) from the arch's machine_{halt,restart,power_off}() functions with an appropriate exit status to be reported to GDB.

2010-10-29debug_core,x86,blackfin: Clean up hw debug disable APIDongdong Deng
The kgdb_disable_hw_debug() was an architecture specific function for disabling all hardware breakpoints on a per cpu basis when entering the debug core. This patch will remove the weak function kdbg_disable_hw_debug() and change it into a call back which lives with the rest of hw breakpoint call backs in struct kgdb_arch.

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.

2010-05-20x86, 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>

2010-05-20kgdb: Add the ability to schedule a breakpoint via a taskletJason Wessel
Some kgdb I/O modules require the ability to create a breakpoint tasklet, such as kgdboc and external modules such as kgdboe. The breakpoint tasklet is used as an asynchronous entry point into the debugger which will have a different function scope than the current execution path where it might not be safe to have an inline breakpoint. This is true of some of the kgdb I/O drivers which share code with kgdb and rest of the kernel users. 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.

Remove all the references to the kgdb_post_primary_code.

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.

2010-05-20Separate the gdbstub from the debug coreJason Wessel
Split the former kernel/kgdb.c into debug_core.c which contains the kernel debugger exception logic and to the gdbstub.c which contains the logic for allowing gdb to talk to the debug core. This also created a private include file called debug_core.h which contains all the definitions to glue the debug_core to any other debugger connections.
