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.

The perf_event overflow handler does not receive any caller-derived argument, so many callers need to resort to looking up the perf_event in their local data structure. This is ugly and doesn't scale if a single callback services many perf_events. Fix by adding a context parameter to perf_event_create_kernel_counter() (and derived hardware breakpoints APIs) and storing it in the perf_event. The field can be accessed from the callback as event->overflow_handler_context. All callers are updated.

The nmi parameter indicated if we could do wakeups from the current context, if not, we would set some state and self-IPI and let the resulting interrupt do the wakeup. For the various event classes: - hardware: nmi=0; PMI is in fact an NMI or we run irq_work_run from the PMI-tail (ARM etc.) - tracepoint: nmi=0; since tracepoint could be from NMI context. - software: nmi=[0,1]; some, like the schedule thing cannot perform wakeups, and hence need 0. As one can see, there is very little nmi=1 usage, and the down-side of not using it is that on some platforms some software events can have a jiffy delay in wakeup (when arch_irq_work_raise isn't implemented). The up-side however is that we can remove the nmi parameter and save a bunch of conditionals in fast paths.

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.

HW breakpoints events stopped working correctly with kgdb as a result of commit: 018cbffe (Merge commit 'v2.6.33' into perf/core), later commit: ba773f7c (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.

HW breakpoints events stopped working correctly with kgdb as a result of commit: 018cbffe (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.

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: NJason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>

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.

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.

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.

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.

The for loop starts with a breakno of 0, and ends when it's 4. so this test is always true. Signed-off-by: NRoel Kluin <roel.kluin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NJason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>

The way to obtain a kernel-mode stack pointer from a struct pt_regs in 32-bit mode is "subtle": the stack doesn't actually contain the stack pointer, but rather the location where it would have been marks the actual previous stack frame. For clarity, use kernel_stack_pointer() instead of coding this weirdness explicitly. Signed-off-by: NH. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> Cc: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>

This patch resets the bit in dr6 after the corresponding exception is handled in code, so that we keep a clean track of the current virtual debug status register. [ Impact: keep track of breakpoints triggering completion ] Signed-off-by: NK.Prasad <prasad@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NFrederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>
