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.

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();

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.

The only way the debugger can handle a trap in inside rcu_lock,
notify_die, or atomic_notifier_call_chain without a recursive fault is
to have a low level "first opportunity handler" do_trap_or_bp() 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.
Also added was a die notification for oops such that kdb can catch an
oops for analysis.
There appeared to be no obvious way to pass the struct pt_regs from
the original exception back to the stack back tracer, so a special
case was added to show_stack() for when kdb is active because you
generally desire to generally look at the back trace of the original
exception.

The only way the debugger can handle a trap in inside rcu_lock,

to allow the kernel debugger to handle the exception first in
program_check_exception().
The other change here is to make sure that kgdb_handle_exception() is
called with correct parameters when catching an oops, because kdb
needs to know if the entry was an oops, single step, or breakpoint
exception.

This patch adds in the kdb PS/2 keyboard driver. This was mostly a
direct port from the original kdb where I cleaned up the code against
checkpatch.pl and added the glue to stitch it into kgdb.
This patch also enables early kdb debug via kgdbwait and the keyboard.
All the access to configure kdb using either a serial console or the
keyboard is done via kgdboc.
If you want to use only the keyboard and want to break in early you
would add to your kernel command arguments:
kgdboc=kbd kgdbwait
If you wanted serial and or the keyboard access you could use:
kgdboc=kbd,ttyS0
You can also configure kgdboc as a kernel module or at run time with
the sysfs where you can activate and deactivate kgdb.
Turn it on:
echo kbd,ttyS0 > /sys/module/kgdboc/parameters/kgdboc
Turn it off:
echo "" > /sys/module/kgdboc/parameters/kgdboc

One of the driving forces behind integrating another front end (kdb)
to the debug core is to allow front end commands to be accessible via
gdb's monitor command. It is true that you could write gdb macros to
get certain data, but you may want to just use gdb to access the
commands that are available in the kdb front end.
This patch implements the Rcmd gdb stub packet. In gdb you access
this with the "monitor" command. For instance you could type "monitor
help", "monitor lsmod" or "monitor ps A" etc...
There is no error checking or command restrictions on what you can and
cannot access at this point. Doing something like trying to set
breakpoints with the monitor command is going to cause nothing but
problems. Perhaps in the future only the commands that are actually
known to work with the gdb monitor command will be available.

The design of the kdb shell requires that every device that can
provide input to kdb have a polling routine that exits immediately if
there is no character available. This is required in order to get the
page scrolling mechanism working.
Changing the kernel debugger I/O API to require all polling character
routines to exit immediately if there is no data allows the kernel
debugger to process multiple input channels.
NO_POLL_CHAR will be the return code to the polling routine when ever
there is no character available.

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 contains only the kdb core. Because the change set was
large, it was split. The next patch in the series includes the
instrumentation into the core kernel which are mainly helper functions
for kdb.
This work is directly derived from kdb v4.4 found at:
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/kdb/download/v4.4/
The kdb internals have been re-organized to make them mostly platform
independent and to connect everything to the debug core which is used by
gdbstub (which has long been known as kgdb).
The original version of kdb was 58,000 lines worth of changes to
support x86. From that implementation only the kdb shell, and basic
commands for memory access, runcontrol, lsmod, and dmesg where carried
forward.
This is a generic implementation which aims to cover all the current
architectures using the kgdb core: ppc, arm, x86, mips, sparc, sh and
blackfin. More archictectures can be added by implementing the
architecture specific kgdb functions.
