During debug trap execution we expect dbg_deactivate_sw_breakpoints()
to be paired with an dbg_activate_sw_breakpoint(). Currently although
the calls are paired correctly they are needlessly smeared across three
different functions. Worse this also results in code to drive polled I/O
being called with breakpoints activated which, in turn, needlessly
increases the set of functions that will recursively trap if breakpointed.
Fix this by moving the activation of breakpoints into the debug core.

Currently kgdb honours the kprobe blocklist but doesn't place its own
trap handling code on the list. Add labels to discourage attempting to
use kgdb to debug itself.
Not every functions that executes from the trap handler needs to be
marked up: relatively early in the trap handler execution (just after
we bring the other CPUs to a halt) all breakpoints are replaced with
the original opcodes. This patch marks up code in the debug_core that
executes between trap entry and the breakpoints being deactivated
and, also, code that executes between breakpoint activation and trap
exit.
To be clear these changes are not sufficient to make recursive trapping
impossible since they do not include library calls made during kgdb's
entry/exit logic. However going much further whilst we are sharing the
kprobe blocklist risks reducing the capabilities of kprobe and this
would be a bad trade off (especially so given kgdb's users are currently
conditioned to avoid recursive traps).

Currently kgdb has absolutely no safety rails in place to discourage or
prevent a user from placing a breakpoint in dangerous places such as
the debugger's own trap entry/exit and other places where it is not safe
to take synchronous traps.
Introduce a new config symbol KGDB_HONOUR_BLOCKLIST and modify the
default implementation of kgdb_validate_break_address() so that we use
the kprobe blocklist to prohibit instrumentation of critical functions
if the config symbol is set. The config symbol dependencies are set to
ensure that the blocklist will be enabled by default if we enable KGDB
and are compiling for an architecture where we HAVE_KPROBES.

On my system the kernel processes the "kgdb_earlycon" parameter before
the "kgdbcon" parameter. When we setup "kgdb_earlycon" we'll end up
in kgdb_register_callbacks() and "kgdb_use_con" won't have been set
yet so we'll never get around to starting "kgdbcon". Let's remedy
this by detecting that the IO module was already registered when
setting "kgdb_use_con" and registering the console then.
As part of this, to avoid pre-declaring things, move the handling of
the "kgdbcon" further down in the file.

The problem was that we were holding the "kgdb_registration_lock"

Let's slightly defer when we call the deinit code so that it's not

NOTE: this does mean that the "deinit" call of the old kgdb IO module
is now made _after_ the init of the new IO module, but presumably
that's OK.

The break instruction in RISC-V does not have an immediate value field, so
the kernel cannot identify the purpose of each trap exception through the
opcode. This makes the existing identification schemes in other
architecture unsuitable for the RISC-V kernel. To solve this problem, this
patch adds kgdb_has_hit_break(), which can help RISC-V kernel identify
the KGDB trap exception.

We want to enable kgdb to debug the early parts of the kernel.
Unfortunately kgdb normally is a client of the tty API in the kernel
and serial drivers don't register to the tty layer until fairly late
in the boot process.
Serial drivers do, however, commonly register a boot console. Let's
enable the kgdboc driver to work with boot consoles to provide early
debugging.
This change co-opts the existing read() function pointer that's part
of "struct console". It's assumed that if a boot console (with the
flag CON_BOOT) has implemented read() that both the read() and write()
function are polling functions. That means they work without
interrupts and read() will return immediately (with 0 bytes read) if
there's nothing to read. This should be a safe assumption since it
appears that no current boot consoles implement read() right now and
there seems no reason to do so unless they wanted to support
"kgdboc_earlycon".
The normal/expected way to make all this work is to use
"kgdboc_earlycon" and "kgdboc" together. You should point them both
to the same physical serial connection. At boot time, as the system
transitions from the boot console to the normal console (and registers
a tty), kgdb will switch over.
One awkward part of all this, though, is that there can be a window
where the boot console goes away and we can't quite transtion over to
the main kgdboc that uses the tty layer. There are two main problems:
1. The act of registering the tty doesn't cause any call into kgdboc
so there is a window of time when the tty is there but kgdboc's
init code hasn't been called so we can't transition to it.
2. On some serial drivers the normal console inits (and replaces the
boot console) quite early in the system. Presumably these drivers
were coded up before earlycon worked as well as it does today and
probably they don't need to do this anymore, but it causes us
problems nontheless.
Problem #1 is not too big of a deal somewhat due to the luck of probe
ordering. kgdboc is last in the tty/serial/Makefile so its probe gets
right after all other tty devices. It's not fun to rely on this, but
it does work for the most part.
Problem #2 is a big deal, but only for some serial drivers. Other
serial drivers end up registering the console (which gets rid of the
boot console) and tty at nearly the same time.
The way we'll deal with the window when the system has stopped using
the boot console and the time when we're setup using the tty is to
keep using the boot console. This may sound surprising, but it has
been found to work well in practice. If it doesn't work, it shouldn't
be too hard for a given serial driver to make it keep working.
Specifically, it's expected that the read()/write() function provided
in the boot console should be the same (or nearly the same) as the
normal kgdb polling functions. That means continuing to use them
should work just fine. To make things even more likely to work work
we'll also trap the recently added exit() function in the boot console
we're using and delay any calls to it until we're all done with the
boot console.
NOTE: there could be ways to use all this in weird / unexpected ways.
If you do something like this, it's a bit of a buyer beware situation.
Specifically:
- If you specify only "kgdboc_earlycon" but not "kgdboc" then
(depending on your serial driver) things will probably work OK, but
you'll get a warning printed the first time you use kgdb after the
boot console is gone. You'd only be able to do this, of course, if
the serial driver you're running atop provided an early boot console.
- If your "kgdboc_earlycon" and "kgdboc" devices are not the same
device things should work OK, but it'll be your job to switch over
which device you're monitoring (including figuring out how to switch
over gdb in-flight if you're using it).
When trying to enable "kgdboc_earlycon" it should be noted that the
names that are registered through the boot console layer and the tty
layer are not the same for the same port. For example when debugging
on one board I'd need to pass "kgdboc_earlycon=qcom_geni
kgdboc=ttyMSM0" to enable things properly. Since digging up the boot
console name is a pain and there will rarely be more than one boot
console enabled, you can provide the "kgdboc_earlycon" parameter
without specifying the name of the boot console. In this case we'll
just pick the first boot that implements read() that we find.
This new "kgdboc_earlycon" parameter should be contrasted to the
existing "ekgdboc" parameter. While both provide a way to debug very
early, the usage and mechanisms are quite different. Specifically
"kgdboc_earlycon" is meant to be used in tandem with "kgdboc" and
there is a transition from one to the other. The "ekgdboc" parameter,
on the other hand, replaces the "kgdboc" parameter. It runs the same
logic as the "kgdboc" parameter but just relies on your TTY driver
being present super early. The only known usage of the old "ekgdboc"
parameter is documented as "ekgdboc=kbd earlyprintk=vga". It should
be noted that "kbd" has special treatment allowing it to init early as
a tty device.

Using kgdb requires at least some level of architecture-level
initialization. If nothing else, it relies on the architecture to
pass breakpoints / crashes onto kgdb.
On some architectures this all works super early, specifically it
starts working at some point in time before Linux parses
early_params's. On other architectures it doesn't. A survey of a few
platforms:
a) x86: Presumably it all works early since "ekgdboc" is documented to
work here.
b) arm64: Catching crashes works; with a simple patch breakpoints can
also be made to work.
c) arm: Nothing in kgdb works until
paging_init() -> devicemaps_init() -> early_trap_init()
Let's be conservative and, by default, process "kgdbwait" (which tells
the kernel to drop into the debugger ASAP at boot) a bit later at
dbg_late_init() time. If an architecture has tested it and wants to
re-enable super early debugging, they can select the
ARCH_HAS_EARLY_DEBUG KConfig option. We'll do this for x86 to start.
It should be noted that dbg_late_init() is still called quite early in
the system.
Note that this patch doesn't affect when kgdb runs its init. If kgdb
is set to initialize early it will still initialize when parsing
early_param's. This patch _only_ inhibits the initial breakpoint from
"kgdbwait". This means:
* Without any extra patches arm64 platforms will at least catch
crashes after kgdb inits.
* arm platforms will catch crashes (and could handle a hardcoded
kgdb_breakpoint()) any time after early_trap_init() runs, even
before dbg_late_init().

In commit 81eaadcae8 ("kgdboc: disable the console lock when in

kgdboc. That still works fine, but it turns out that we get a similar
yell when using other I/O drivers. One example is the "I/O driver"
for the kgdb test suite (kgdbts). When I enabled that I again got the
same yells.
Even though "kgdbts" doesn't actually interact with the user over the
console, using it still causes kgdb to print to the consoles. That
trips the same warning:

In kdb when you do 'btc' (back trace on CPU) it doesn't necessarily
give you the right info. Specifically on many architectures
(including arm64, where I tested) you can't dump the stack of a
"running" process that isn't the process running on the current CPU.
This can be seen by this:
echo SOFTLOCKUP > /sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/DIRECT
# wait 2 seconds
<sysrq>g
Here's what I see now on rk3399-gru-kevin. I see the stack crawl for
the CPU that handled the sysrq but everything else just shows me stuck
in __switch_to() which is bogus:

===
The problem is that 'btc' eventually boils down to
show_stack(task_struct, NULL);
...and show_stack() doesn't work for "running" CPUs because their
registers haven't been stashed.
On x86 things might work better (I haven't tested) because kdb has a
special case for x86 in kdb_show_stack() where it passes the stack
pointer to show_stack(). This wouldn't work on arm64 where the stack
crawling function seems needs the "fp" and "pc", not the "sp" which is
presumably why arm64's show_stack() function totally ignores the "sp"
parameter.
NOTE: we _can_ get a good stack dump for all the cpus if we manually
switch each one to the kdb master and do a back trace. AKA:
cpu 4
bt
...will give the expected trace. That's because now arm64's
dump_backtrace will now see that "tsk == current" and go through a
different path.
In this patch I fix the problems by catching a request to stack crawl
a task that's running on a CPU and then I ask that CPU to do the stack
crawl.
NOTE: this will (presumably) change what stack crawls are printed for
x86 machines. Now kdb functions will show up in the stack crawl.
Presumably this is OK but if it's not we can go back and add a special
case for x86 again.

Right now kgdb/kdb hooks up to debug panics by registering for the panic
notifier. This works OK except that it means that kgdb/kdb gets called
_after_ the CPUs in the system are taken offline. That means that if
anything important was happening on those CPUs (like something that might
have contributed to the panic) you can't debug them.
Specifically I ran into a case where I got a panic because a task was
"blocked for more than 120 seconds" which was detected on CPU 2. I nicely
got shown stack traces in the kernel log for all CPUs including CPU 0,
which was running 'PID: 111 Comm: kworker/0:1H' and was in the middle of
__mmc_switch().
I then ended up at the kdb prompt where switched over to kgdb to try to
look at local variables of the process on CPU 0. I found that I couldn't.
Digging more, I found that I had no info on any tasks running on CPUs
other than CPU 2 and that asking kdb for help showed me "Error: no saved
data for this cpu". This was because all the CPUs were offline.
Let's move the entry of kdb/kgdb to a direct call from panic() and stop
using the generic notifier. Putting a direct call in allows us to order
things more properly and it also doesn't seem like we're breaking any
abstractions by calling into the debugger from the panic function.

If you have a CPU that fails to round up and then run 'btc' you'll end
up crashing in kdb becaue we dereferenced NULL. Let's add a check.
It's wise to also set the task to NULL when leaving the debugger so
that if we fail to round up on a later entry into the debugger we
won't backtrace a stale task.

If we're using the default implementation of kgdb_roundup_cpus() that
uses smp_call_function_single_async() we can end up hanging
kgdb_roundup_cpus() if we try to round up a CPU that failed to round
up before.
Specifically smp_call_function_single_async() will try to wait on the
csd lock for the CPU that we're trying to round up. If the previous
round up never finished then that lock could still be held and we'll
just sit there hanging.
There's not a lot of use trying to round up a CPU that failed to round
up before. Let's keep a flag that indicates whether the CPU started
but didn't finish to round up before. If we see that flag set then
we'll skip the next round up.
In general we have a few goals here:
- We never want to end up calling smp_call_function_single_async()
when the csd is still locked. This is accomplished because
flush_smp_call_function_queue() unlocks the csd _before_ invoking
the callback. That means that when kgdb_nmicallback() runs we know
for sure the the csd is no longer locked. Thus when we set
"rounding_up = false" we know for sure that the csd is unlocked.
- If there are no timeouts rounding up we should never skip a round
up.
NOTE #1: In general trying to continue running after failing to round
up CPUs doesn't appear to be supported in the debugger. When I
simulate this I find that kdb reports "Catastrophic error detected"
when I try to continue. I can overrule and continue anyway, but it
should be noted that we may be entering the land of dragons here.
Possibly the "Catastrophic error detected" was added _because_ of the
future failure to round up, but even so this is an area of the code
that hasn't been strongly tested.
NOTE #2: I did a bit of testing before and after this change. I
introduced a 10 second hang in the kernel while holding a spinlock
that I could invoke on a certain CPU with 'taskset -c 3 cat /sys/...".
Before this change if I did:
- Invoke hang
- Enter debugger
- g (which warns about Catastrophic error, g again to go anyway)
- g
- Enter debugger
...I'd hang the rest of the 10 seconds without getting a debugger
prompt. After this change I end up in the debugger the 2nd time after
only 1 second with the standard warning about 'Timed out waiting for
secondary CPUs.'
I'll also note that once the CPU finished waiting I could actually
debug it (aka "btc" worked)
I won't promise that everything works perfectly if the errant CPU
comes back at just the wrong time (like as we're entering or exiting
the debugger) but it certainly seems like an improvement.
NOTE #3: setting 'kgdb_info[cpu].rounding_up = false' is in
kgdb_nmicallback() instead of kgdb_call_nmi_hook() because some
implementations override kgdb_call_nmi_hook(). It shouldn't hurt to
have it in kgdb_nmicallback() in any case.
NOTE #4: this logic is really only needed because there is no API call
like "smp_try_call_function_single_async()" or "smp_csd_is_locked()".
If such an API existed then we'd use it instead, but it seemed a bit
much to add an API like this just for kgdb.

Looking closely at it, it seems like a really bad idea to be calling
local_irq_enable() in kgdb_roundup_cpus(). If nothing else that seems
like it could violate spinlock semantics and cause a deadlock.
Instead, let's use a private csd alongside
smp_call_function_single_async() to round up the other CPUs. Using
smp_call_function_single_async() doesn't require interrupts to be
enabled so we can remove the offending bit of code.
In order to avoid duplicating this across all the architectures that
use the default kgdb_roundup_cpus(), we'll add a "weak" implementation
to debug_core.c.
Looking at all the people who previously had copies of this code,
there were a few variants. I've attempted to keep the variants
working like they used to. Specifically:
* For arch/arc we passed NULL to kgdb_nmicallback() instead of
get_irq_regs().
* For arch/mips there was a bit of extra code around
kgdb_nmicallback()
NOTE: In this patch we will still get into trouble if we try to round
up a CPU that failed to round up before. We'll try to round it up
again and potentially hang when we try to grab the csd lock. That's
not new behavior but we'll still try to do better in a future patch.

Nobody used those flags. Anyone who wanted to temporarily turn on
interrupts just did local_irq_enable() and local_irq_disable() without
looking at them. So we can definitely remove the flags.

We've got a delay loop waiting for secondary CPUs. That loop uses
loops_per_jiffy. However, loops_per_jiffy doesn't actually mean how
many tight loops make up a jiffy on all architectures. It is quite
common to see things like this in the boot log:
Calibrating delay loop (skipped), value calculated using timer
frequency.. 48.00 BogoMIPS (lpj=24000)
In my case I was seeing lots of cases where other CPUs timed out
entering the debugger only to print their stack crawls shortly after the
kdb> prompt was written.
Elsewhere in kgdb we already use udelay(), so that should be safe enough
to use to implement our timeout. We'll delay 1 ms for 1000 times, which
should give us a full second of delay (just like the old code wanted)
but allow us to notice that we're done every 1 ms.

On non-developer devices, kgdb prevents the device from rebooting
after a panic.
Incase of panics and exceptions, to allow the device to reboot, prevent
entering debug mode to avoid getting stuck waiting for the user to
interact with debugger.
To avoid entering the debugger on panic/exception without any extra
configuration, panic_timeout is being used which can be set via
/proc/sys/kernel/panic at run time and CONFIG_PANIC_TIMEOUT sets the
default value.
Setting panic_timeout indicates that the user requested machine to
perform unattended reboot after panic. We dont want to get stuck waiting

Currently if an active CPU fails to respond to a roundup request the CPU
that requested the roundup will become stuck. This needlessly reduces the
robustness of the debugger.
This patch introduces a timeout allowing the system state to be examined
even when the system contains unresponsive processors. It also modifies
kdb's cpu command to make it censor attempts to switch to unresponsive
processors and to report their state as (D)ead.

This patch is a continuation of efforts trying to optimize find_vma(),
avoiding potentially expensive rbtree walks to locate a vma upon faults.
The original approach (https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/11/1/410), where the
largest vma was also cached, ended up being too specific and random,
thus further comparison with other approaches were needed. There are
two things to consider when dealing with this, the cache hit rate and
the latency of find_vma(). Improving the hit-rate does not necessarily
translate in finding the vma any faster, as the overhead of any fancy
caching schemes can be too high to consider.
We currently cache the last used vma for the whole address space, which
provides a nice optimization, reducing the total cycles in find_vma() by
up to 250%, for workloads with good locality. On the other hand, this
simple scheme is pretty much useless for workloads with poor locality.
Analyzing ebizzy runs shows that, no matter how many threads are
running, the mmap_cache hit rate is less than 2%, and in many situations
below 1%.
The proposed approach is to replace this scheme with a small per-thread
cache, maximizing hit rates at a very low maintenance cost.
Invalidations are performed by simply bumping up a 32-bit sequence
number. The only expensive operation is in the rare case of a seq
number overflow, where all caches that share the same address space are
flushed. Upon a miss, the proposed replacement policy is based on the
page number that contains the virtual address in question. Concretely,
the following results are seen on an 80 core, 8 socket x86-64 box:
1) System bootup: Most programs are single threaded, so the per-thread
scheme does improve ~50% hit rate by just adding a few more slots to
the cache.
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| baseline | 50.61% | 19.90 |
| patched | 73.45% | 13.58 |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
2) Kernel build: This one is already pretty good with the current
approach as we're dealing with good locality.
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| baseline | 75.28% | 11.03 |
| patched | 88.09% | 9.31 |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
3) Oracle 11g Data Mining (4k pages): Similar to the kernel build workload.
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| baseline | 70.66% | 17.14 |
| patched | 91.15% | 12.57 |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
4) Ebizzy: There's a fair amount of variation from run to run, but this
approach always shows nearly perfect hit rates, while baseline is just
about non-existent. The amounts of cycles can fluctuate between
anywhere from ~60 to ~116 for the baseline scheme, but this approach
reduces it considerably. For instance, with 80 threads:
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| baseline | 1.06% | 91.54 |

The function kgdb_breakpoint() sets up break point at
compile time by calling arch_kgdb_breakpoint();
Though this call is surrounded by wmb() barrier,
the compile can still re-order the break point,
because this scheduling barrier is not a code motion
barrier in gcc.
Making kgdb_breakpoint() as noinline solves this problem
of code reording around break point instruction and also
avoids problem of being called as inline function from
other places

Some code added to the debug_core module had KDB dependencies
that it shouldn't have. Move the KDB dependent REASON back to
the caller to remove the dependency in the debug core code.
Update the call from the UV NMI handler to conform to the new
interface.

This patch adds a kgdb_nmicallin() interface that can be used by
external NMI handlers to call the KGDB/KDB handler. The primary
need for this is for those types of NMI interrupts where all the
CPUs have already received the NMI signal. Therefore no
send_IPI(NMI) is required, and in fact it will cause a 2nd
unhandled NMI to occur. This generates the "Dazed and Confuzed"
messages.
Since all the CPUs are getting the NMI at roughly the same time,
it's not guaranteed that the first CPU that hits the NMI handler
will manage to enter KGDB and set the dbg_master_lock before the
slaves start entering. The new argument "send_ready" was added
for KGDB to signal the NMI handler to release the slave CPUs for
entry into KGDB.

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.

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.

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.

Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells:
"Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of
separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion
dependencies.
I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can
and made sure that they don't break.
The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular
dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to
optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2().
This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in
asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h.
The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h. It holds a number of
low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg.
memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that
aren't used in many places (eg. switch_to()).
These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces:
(1) asm/barrier.h
Move memory barriers here. This already done for MIPS and Alpha.
(2) asm/switch_to.h
Move switch_to() and related stuff here.
(3) asm/exec.h
Move arch_align_stack() here. Other process execution related bits
could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h.
(4) asm/cmpxchg.h
Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and
frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg().
(5) asm/bug.h
Move die() and related bits.
(6) asm/auxvec.h
Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here.
Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."
Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code
around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat
weakened by that. We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it..

Sometimes it is desirable to stop the kernel debugger before allowing
a system to reboot either with kdb or kgdb. This patch adds the
ability to turn the reboot notifier on and off or enter the debugger
and stop kernel execution before rebooting.
It is possible to change the setting after booting the kernel with the
following:
echo 1 > /sys/module/debug_core/parameters/kgdbreboot
It is also possible to change this setting using kdb / kgdb to
manipulate the variable directly.
Using KDB:
mm kgdbreboot 1
Using gdb:
set kgdbreboot=1

The gdbstub and kdb should get detached if the system is rebooting.
Calling gdbstub_exit() will set the proper debug core state and send a
message to any debugger that is connected to correctly detach.
An attached debugger will receive the exit code from
include/linux/reboot.h based on SYS_HALT, SYS_REBOOT, etc...
