2013-01-12module: add new state MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED.Rusty Russell
You should never look at such a module, so it's excised from all paths which traverse the modules list. We add the state at the end, to avoid gratuitous ABI break (ksplice). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

2012-10-12kdb,vt_console: Fix missed data due to pager overrunsJason Wessel
It is possible to miss data when using the kdb pager. The kdb pager does not pay attention to the maximum column constraint of the screen or serial terminal. This result is not incrementing the shown lines correctly and the pager will print more lines that fit on the screen. Obviously that is less than useful when using a VGA console where you cannot scroll back. The pager will now look at the kdb_buffer string to see how many characters are printed. It might not be perfect considering you can output ASCII that might move the cursor position, but it is a substantially better approximation for viewing dmesg and trace logs. This also means that the vt screen needs to set the kdb COLUMNS variable. Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>
2012-10-12kdb: Fix dmesg/bta scroll to quit with 'q'Jason Wessel
If you press 'q' the pager should exit instead of printing everything from dmesg which can really bog down a 9600 baud serial link. The same is true for the bta command. Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>
2012-10-12kgdb: Add module event hooksJason Wessel

2012-09-26kdb: Implement disable_nmi commandAnton Vorontsov
This command disables NMI-entry. If NMI source has been previously shared with a serial console ("debug port"), this effectively releases the port from KDB exclusive use, and makes the console available for normal use.

2012-09-26kernel/debug: Mask KGDB NMI upon entryAnton Vorontsov
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.

2012-03-29kgdb,debug_core: pass the breakpoint struct instead of address and memoryJason Wessel
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.

The Smatch tool warned that the change from commit b8adde8dd (kdb: Avoid using dbg_io_ops until it is initialized) should add another null check later in the kdb_printf(). It is worth noting that the second use of dbg_io_ops->is_console is protected by the KDB_PAGER state variable which would only get set when kdb is fully active and initialized. If we ever encounter changes or defects in the KDB_PAGER state we do not want to crash the kernel in a kdb_printf/printk.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-asm_system 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.

On x86, if CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is set, one cannot set breakpoints via KDB.

This fixes a bug with setting a breakpoint during kdb initialization (from kdb_cmds).

Sometimes it is desirable to stop the kernel debugger before allowing a system to reboot either with kdb or kgdb.

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.

2012-03-22KDB: Fix usability issues relating to the 'enter' key.Andrei Warkentin
This fixes the following problems: 1) Typematic-repeat of 'enter' gives warning message and leaks make/break if KDB exits. Repeats look something like 0x1c 0x1c .... 0x9c 2) Use of 'keypad enter' gives warning message and leaks the ENTER break/make code out if KDB exits. KP ENTER repeats look someting like 0xe0 0x1c 0xe0 0x1c ... 0xe0 0x9c. 3) Lag on the order of seconds between "break" and "make" when expecting the enter "break" code. Seen under virtualized environments such as VMware ESX. The existing special enter handler tries to glob the enter break code, but this fails if the other (KP) enter was used, or if there was a key repeat. It also fails if you mashed some keys along with enter, and you ended up with a non-enter make or non-enter break code coming after the enter make code. So first, we modify the handler to handle these cases. But performing these actions on every enter is annoying since now you can't hold ENTER down to scroll <more>d messages in KDB. Since this special behaviour is only necessary to handle the exiting KDB ('g' + ENTER) without leaking scancodes to the OS. This cleanup needs to get executed anytime the kdb_main loop exits. Tested on QEMU. Set a bp on atkbd.c to verify no scan code was leaked.

This patch will remove the weak function kdbg_disable_hw_debug() and change it into a call back which lives with the rest of hw breakpoint call backs in struct kgdb_arch.

2010-10-29kdb: Fix early debugging crash regressionJason Wessel
The kdb_current legally be equal to NULL in the early boot of the x86 arch. The problem pcan be observed by booting with the kernel arguments: earlyprintk=vga ekgdboc=kbd kgdbwait The kdb shell will oops on entry and recursively fault because it cannot get past the final stage of shell initialization.

2010-10-29kdb: fix per_cpu command to remove supress maskJason Wessel
Rusty pointed out that the per_cpu command uses up lots of space on the stack and the cpu supress mask is probably not needed. This patch removes the need for the supress mask as well as fixing up the following problems with the kdb per_cpu command: * The per_cpu command should allow an address as an argument * When you have more data than can be displayed on one screen allow the user to break out of the print loop.

2010-10-22kdb,debug_core: adjust master cpu switch logic against new debug_core lockingJason Wessel
The kdb shell needs to enforce switching back to the original CPU that took the exception before restoring normal kernel execution. Resuming from a different CPU than what took the original exception will cause problems with spin locks that are freed from the a different processor than had taken the lock. The special logic in dbg_cpu_switch() can go away entirely with because the state of what cpus want to be masters or slaves will remain unchanged between entry and exit of the debug_core exception context.
