* powerpc/kgdb: Restore current_thread_info properlyTiejun Chen2012-08-241-2/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | For powerpc BooKE and e200, singlestep is handled on the critical/dbg exception stack. This causes current_thread_info() to fail for kgdb internal, so previously We work around this issue by copying the thread_info from the kernel stack before calling kgdb_handle_exception, and copying it back afterwards. But actually we don't do this properly. We should backup current_thread_info then restore that when exit.

* powerpc/kgdb: Do not set kgdb_single_step on ppcTiejun Chen2012-08-241-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The kgdb_single_step flag has the possibility to indefinitely hang the system on an SMP system. The x86 arch have the same problem, and that problem was fixed by commit 8097551d9ab9b9e3630(kgdb,x86: do not set kgdb_single_step on x86). This patch does the same behaviors as x86's patch.

* | powerpc: Remove call sites of MSG_ALL_BUT_SELFMilton Miller2011-05-191-1/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The only user of MSG_ALL_BUT_SELF in the whole kernel tree is powerpc, and it only uses it to start the debugger. Both debuggers always call smp_send_debugger_break with MSG_ALL_BUT_SELF, and only mpic can do anything more optimal than a loop over all online cpus, but all message passing implementations have to code for this special delivery target. Convert smp_send_debugger_break to take void and loop calling the smp_ops message_pass function for each of the other cpus in the online cpumask. Use raw_smp_processor_id() because we are either entering the debugger or trying to start kdump and the additional warning it not useful were it to trigger.

* powerpc,kgdb: Introduce low level trap catchingJason Wessel2010-05-211-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 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.

* kgdb: core changes to support kdbJason Wessel2010-05-211-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* powerpc/booke: Introduce new CONFIG options for advanced debug registersDave Kleikamp2010-02-171-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | powerpc/booke: Introduce new CONFIG options for advanced debug registers From: Dave Kleikamp <shaggy@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Introduce new config options to simplify the ifdefs pertaining to the advanced debug registers for booke and 40x processors: CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_REGS - boolean: true for dac-based processors CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_IACS - number of IAC registers CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_DACS - number of DAC registers CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_DVCS - number of DVC registers CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_DAC_RANGE - DAC ranges supported Beginning conservatively, since I only have the facilities to test 440 hardware. I believe all 40x and booke platforms support at least 2 IAC and 2 DAC registers. For 440, 4 IAC and 2 DVC registers are enabled, as well as the DAC ranges.

* kgdb, x86, arm, mips, powerpc: ignore user space single steppingJason Wessel2008-09-261-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On the x86 arch, user space single step exceptions should be ignored if they occur in the kernel space, such as ptrace stepping through a system call. First check if it is kgdb that is executing a single step, then ensure it is not an accidental traversal into the user space, while in kgdb, any other time the TIF_SINGLESTEP is set, kgdb should ignore the exception. On x86, arm, mips and powerpc, the kgdb_contthread usage was inconsistent with the way single stepping is implemented in the kgdb core. The arch specific stub should always set the kgdb_cpu_doing_single_step correctly if it is single stepping. This allows kgdb to correctly process an instruction steps if ptrace happens to be requesting an instruction step over a system call. Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>
* kgdb, powerpc: arch specific powerpc kgdb supportJason Wessel2008-07-231-0/+410
This patch removes the old kgdb reminants from ARCH=powerpc and implements the new style arch specific stub for the common kgdb core interface. It is possible to have xmon and kgdb in the same kernel, but you cannot use both at the same time because there is only one set of debug hooks. The arch specific kgdb implementation saves the previous state of the debug hooks and restores them if you unconfigure the kgdb I/O driver. Kgdb should have no impact on a kernel that has no kgdb I/O driver configured. Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>
