result, the access to the buffer is fully lockless now.
Note that printk() itself still uses locks because it tries to flush

buffers are still there because they prevent infinite recursion and

Rather than storing the iterator information in the registered
kmsg_dumper structure, create a separate iterator structure. The
kmsg_dump_iter structure can reside on the stack of the caller, thus
allowing lockless use of the kmsg_dump functions.
Update code that accesses the kernel logs using the kmsg_dumper
structure to use the new kmsg_dump_iter structure. For kmsg_dumpers,
this also means adding a call to kmsg_dump_rewind() to initialize
the iterator.

To the very best of my knowledge there has never been any in-tree
code that calls this function. It exists largely to support an
out-of-tree driver that provides kgdb-over-ethernet using the
netpoll API.
kgdboe has been out-of-tree for more than 10 years and I don't
recall any serious attempt to upstream it at any point in the last
five. At this stage it looks better to stop carrying this code in
the kernel and integrate the code into the out-of-tree driver
instead.
The long term trajectory for the kernel looks likely to include
effort to remove or reduce the use of tasklets (something that has
also been true for the last 10 years). Thus the main real reason
for this patch is to make explicit that the in-tree kgdb features
do not require tasklets.

Currently kdb uses in_interrupt() to determine whether its library
code has been called from the kgdb trap handler or from a saner calling
context such as driver init. This approach is broken because
in_interrupt() alone isn't able to determine kgdb trap handler entry from
normal task context. This can happen during normal use of basic features
such as breakpoints and can also be trivially reproduced using:
echo g > /proc/sysrq-trigger
We can improve this by adding check for in_dbg_master() instead which
explicitly determines if we are running in debugger context.

Currently using forward search doesn't handle multi-line strings correctly.
The search routine replaces line breaks with \0 during the search and, for
regular searches ("help | grep Common\n"), there is code after the line
has been discarded or printed to replace the break character.
However during a pager search ("help\n" followed by "/Common\n") when the
string is matched we will immediately return to normal output and the code
that should restore the \n becomes unreachable. Fix this by restoring the
replaced character when we disable the search mode and update the comment
accordingly.

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).

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.

There's a null check in `kdb_msg_write` which triggers static analyzers

Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1]

either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes.

In kgdb context, calling console handlers aren't safe due to locks used
in those handlers which could in turn lead to a deadlock. Although, using
oops_in_progress increases the chance to bypass locks in most console
handlers but it might not be sufficient enough in case a console uses
more locks (VT/TTY is good example).
Currently when a driver provides both polling I/O and a console then kdb
will output using the console. We can increase robustness by using the
currently active polling I/O driver (which should be lockless) instead
of the corresponding console. For several common cases (e.g. an
embedded system with a single serial port that is used both for console
output and debugger I/O) this will result in no console handler being
used.
In order to achieve this we need to reverse the order of preference to
use dbg_io_ops (uses polling I/O mode) over console APIs. So we just
store "struct console" that represents debugger I/O in dbg_io_ops and
while emitting kdb messages, skip console that matches dbg_io_ops
console in order to avoid duplicate messages. After this change,
"is_console" param becomes redundant and hence removed.

While rounding up CPUs via NMIs, its possible that a rounded up CPU
maybe holding a console port lock leading to kgdb master CPU stuck in
a deadlock during invocation of console write operations. A similar
deadlock could also be possible while using synchronous breakpoints.
So in order to avoid such a deadlock, set oops_in_progress to encourage
the console drivers to disregard their internal spin locks: in the
current calling context the risk of deadlock is a bigger problem than
risks due to re-entering the console driver. We operate directly on
oops_in_progress rather than using bust_spinlocks() because the calls
bust_spinlocks() makes on exit are not appropriate for this calling
context.

Print the stack trace with KERN_EMERG - it should be always visible.
Playing with console_loglevel is a bad idea as there may be more messages
printed than wanted. Also the stack trace might be not printed at all if
printk() was deferred and console_loglevel was raised back before the
trace got flushed.
Unfortunately, after rebasing on commit 2277b49258 ("kdb: Fix stack
crawling on 'running' CPUs that aren't the master"), kdb_show_stack() uses
now kdb_dump_stack_on_cpu(), which for now won't be converted as it uses
dump_stack() instead of show_stack().
Convert for now the branch that uses show_stack() and remove
console_loglevel exercise from that case.

Currently, 'KDBFLAGS' is an internal variable of kdb, it is combined
by 'KDBDEBUG' and state flags. It will be shown only when 'KDBDEBUG'
is set, and the user can define an environment variable named 'KDBFLAGS'
too. These are puzzling indeed.
After communication with Daniel, it seems that 'KDBFLAGS' is a misfeature.
So let's replace 'KDBFLAGS' with 'KDBDEBUG' to just show the value we
wrote into. After this modification, we can use `md4c1 kdb_flags` instead,
to observe the state flags.

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.
