Separate the gdbstub from the debug core 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.

kdb: Add support for external NMI handler to call KGDB/KDB 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.

kgdb: core changes to support kdb 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.

debug_core: refactor locking for master/slave cpus For quite some time there have been problems with memory barriers and various races with NMI on multi processor systems using the kernel debugger. The algorithm for entering the kernel debug core and resuming kernel execution was racy and had several known edge case problems with attempting to debug something on a heavily loaded system using breakpoints that are hit repeatedly and quickly. The prior "locking" design entry worked as follows: * The atomic counter kgdb_active was used with atomic exchange in order to elect a master cpu out of all the cpus that may have taken a debug exception. * The master cpu increments all elements of passive_cpu_wait[]. * The master cpu issues the round up cpus message. * Each "slave cpu" that enters the debug core increments its own element in cpu_in_kgdb[]. * Each "slave cpu" spins on passive_cpu_wait[] until it becomes 0. * The master cpu debugs the system. The new scheme removes the two arrays of atomic counters and replaces them with 2 single counters. One counter is used to count the number of cpus waiting to become a master cpu (because one or more hit an exception). The second counter is use to indicate how many cpus have entered as slave cpus. The new entry logic works as follows: * One or more cpus enters via kgdb_handle_exception() and increments the masters_in_kgdb. Each cpu attempts to get the spin lock called dbg_master_lock. * The master cpu sets kgdb_active to the current cpu. * The master cpu takes the spinlock dbg_slave_lock. * The master cpu asks to round up all the other cpus. * Each slave cpu that is not already in kgdb_handle_exception() will enter and increment slaves_in_kgdb. Each slave will now spin try_locking on dbg_slave_lock. * The master cpu waits for the sum of masters_in_kgdb and slaves_in_kgdb to be equal to the sum of the online cpus. * The master cpu debugs the system. In the new design the kgdb_active can only be changed while holding dbg_master_lock. Stress testing has not turned up any further entry/exit races that existed in the prior locking design. The prior locking design suffered from atomic variables not being truly atomic (in the capacity as used by kgdb) along with memory barrier races.

kgdb: gdb "monitor" -> kdb passthrough 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. Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>
