497957576c printk/kdb: handle more message headers
Commit 4bcc595ccd ("printk: reinstate KERN_CONT for printing
continuation lines") allows to define more message headers for a single
message.  The motivation is that continuous lines might get mixed.
Therefore it make sense to define the right log level for every piece of
a cont line.

This patch introduces printk_skip_headers() that will skip all headers
and uses it in the kdb code instead of printk_skip_level().

This approach helps to fix other printk_skip_level() users
independently.

d2aa1acad2 mm/init: Add 'rodata=off' boot cmdline parameter to disable read-only kernel mappings
It may be useful to debug writes to the readonly sections of memory,
so provide a cmdline "rodata=off" to allow for this. This can be
expanded in the future to support "log" and "write" modes, but that
will need to be architecture-specific.

This also makes KDB software breakpoints more usable, as read-only
mappings can now be disabled on any kernel.

7523e4dc50 module: use a structure to encapsulate layout.
Makes it easier to handle init vs core cleanly, though the change is
fairly invasive across random architectures.

It simplifies the rbtree code immediately, however, while keeping the
core data together in the same cachline (now iff the rbtree code is
enabled).

fb6daa7520 kdb: Provide forward search at more prompt
Currently kdb allows the output of comamnds to be filtered using the
| grep feature. This is useful but does not permit the output emitted
shortly after a string match to be examined without wading through the
entire unfiltered output of the command. Such a feature is particularly
useful to navigate function traces because these traces often have a
useful trigger string *before* the point of interest.

This patch reuses the existing filtering logic to introduce a simple
forward search to kdb that can be triggered from the more prompt.

ab08e464a2 kdb: Fix a prompt management bug when using | grep
Currently when the "| grep" feature is used to filter the output of a
command then the prompt is not displayed for the subsequent command.
Likewise any characters typed by the user are also not echoed to the
display. This rather disconcerting problem eventually corrects itself
when the user presses Enter and the kdb_grepping_flag is cleared as
kdb_parse() tries to make sense of whatever they typed.

This patch resolves the problem by moving the clearing of this flag
from the middle of command processing to the beginning.

5454388113 kdb: Remove stack dump when entering kgdb due to NMI
Issuing a stack dump feels ergonomically wrong when entering due to NMI.

Entering due to NMI is normally a reaction to a user request, either the
NMI button on a server or a "magic knock" on a UART. Therefore the
backtrace behaviour on entry due to NMI should be like SysRq-g (no stack
dump) rather than like oops.

Note also that the stack dump does not offer any information that
cannot be trivial retrieved using the 'bt' command.

f7d4ca8bbf kdb: Avoid printing KERN_ levels to consoles
Currently when kdb traps printk messages then the raw log level prefix
(consisting of '\001' followed by a numeral) does not get stripped off
before the message is issued to the various I/O handlers supported by
kdb. This causes annoying visual noise as well as causing problems
grepping for ^. It is also a change of behaviour compared to normal usage
of printk() usage. For example <SysRq>-h ends up with different output to
that of kdb's "sr h".

This patch addresses the problem by stripping log levels from messages
before they are issued to the I/O handlers. printk() which can also
act as an i/o handler in some cases is special cased; if the caller
provided a log level then the prefix will be preserved when sent to
printk().

The addition of non-printable characters to the output of kdb commands is a
regression, albeit and extremely elderly one, introduced by commit
04d2c8c83d ("printk: convert the format for KERN_<LEVEL> to a 2 byte
pattern"). Note also that this patch does *not* restore the original
behaviour from v3.5. Instead it makes printk() from within a kdb command
display the message without any prefix (i.e. like printk() normally does).

"kgdb: Timeout if secondary CPUs ignore the roundup".

See: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/1/7/442

This patch is the delta vs the patch that was committed upstream:
  * Fix an off-by-one error in kdb_cpu().
  * Replace NR_CPUS with CONFIG_NR_CPUS to tell checkpatch that we
    really want a static limit.
  * Removed the "KGDB: " prefix from the pr_crit() in debug_core.c
    (kgdb-next contains a patch which introduced pr_fmt() to this file
    to the tag will now be applied automatically).

a1465d2f39 kgdb: timeout if secondary CPUs ignore the roundup
Currently if an active CPU fails to respond to a roundup request the CPU
that requested the roundup will become stuck.  This needlessly reduces the
robustness of the debugger.

This patch introduces a timeout allowing the system state to be examined
even when the system contains unresponsive processors.  It also modifies
kdb's cpu command to make it censor attempts to switch to unresponsive
processors and to report their state as (D)ead.

420c2b1b0d kdb: Add enable mask for groups of commands
Currently all kdb commands are enabled whenever kdb is deployed. This
makes it difficult to deploy kdb to help debug certain types of
systems.

Android phones provide one example; the FIQ debugger found on some
Android devices has a deliberately weak set of commands to allow the
debugger to enabled very late in the production cycle.

Certain kiosk environments offer another interesting case where an
engineer might wish to probe the system state using passive inspection
commands without providing sufficient power for a passer by to root it.

Without any restrictions, obtaining the root rights via KDB is a matter of
a few commands, and works everywhere. For example, log in as a normal
user:

cbou:~$ id
uid=1001(cbou) gid=1001(cbou) groups=1001(cbou)

Now enter KDB (for example via sysrq):

Entering kdb (current=0xffff8800065bc740, pid 920) due to Keyboard Entry
kdb> ps
23 sleeping system daemon (state M) processes suppressed,
use 'ps A' to see all.
Task Addr               Pid   Parent [*] cpu State Thread             Command
0xffff8800065bc740      920      919  1    0   R  0xffff8800065bca20 *bash

0xffff880007078000        1        0  0    0   S  0xffff8800070782e0  init
[...snip...]
0xffff8800065be3c0      918        1  0    0   S  0xffff8800065be6a0  getty
0xffff8800065b9c80      919        1  0    0   S  0xffff8800065b9f60  login
0xffff8800065bc740      920      919  1    0   R  0xffff8800065bca20 *bash

All we need is the offset of cred pointers. We can look up the offset in
the distro's kernel source, but it is unnecessary. We can just start
dumping init's task_struct, until we see the process name:

kdb> md 0xffff880007078000
0xffff880007078000 0000000000000001 ffff88000703c000   ................
0xffff880007078010 0040210000000002 0000000000000000   .....!@.........
[...snip...]
0xffff8800070782b0 ffff8800073e0580 ffff8800073e0580   ..>.......>.....
0xffff8800070782c0 0000000074696e69 0000000000000000   init............

^ Here, 'init'. Creds are just above it, so the offset is 0x02b0.

Now we set up init's creds for our non-privileged shell:

kdb> mm 0xffff8800065bc740+0x02b0 0xffff8800073e0580
0xffff8800065bc9f0 = 0xffff8800073e0580
kdb> mm 0xffff8800065bc740+0x02b8 0xffff8800073e0580
0xffff8800065bc9f8 = 0xffff8800073e0580

And thus gaining the root:

kdb> go
cbou:~$ id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
cbou:~$ bash
root:~#

p.s. No distro enables kdb by default (although, with a nice KDB-over-KMS
feature availability, I would expect at least some would enable it), so
it's not actually some kind of a major issue.

f9f2bac27c kdb: replace strnicmp with strncasecmp
The kernel used to contain two functions for length-delimited,
case-insensitive string comparison, strnicmp with correct semantics and
a slightly buggy strncasecmp.  The latter is the POSIX name, so strnicmp
was renamed to strncasecmp, and strnicmp made into a wrapper for the new
strncasecmp to avoid breaking existing users.

To allow the compat wrapper strnicmp to be removed at some point in the
future, and to avoid the extra indirection cost, do
s/strnicmp/strncasecmp/g.

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.

a37372f6c3 kdb: Prevent kernel oops with kdb_defcmd
The kdb_defcmd can only be used to display the available command aliases
while using the kernel debug shell.  If you try to define a new macro
while the kernel debugger is active it will oops.  The debug shell
macros must use pre-allocated memory set aside at the time kdb_init()
is run, and the kdb_defcmd is restricted to only working at the time
that the kdb_init sequence is being run, which only occurs if you
actually activate the kernel debugger.

1b2caa2dcb kdb: Remove the ll command
Recently some code inspection was done after fixing a problem with
kmalloc used while in the kernel debugger context (which is not
legal), and it turned up the fact that kdb ll command will oops the
kernel.

Given that there have been zero bug reports on the command combined
with the fact it will oops the kernel it is clearly not being used.
Instead of fixing it, it will be removed.

074604af21 kdb_main: fix help print
The help command was chopping all the usage instructions such that
they were not readable.

Example:

per_cpu         <sym> [<bytes>] [<c Display per_cpu variables

Where as it should look like:

bta             [D|R|S|T|C|Z|E|U|I|M|A]
                                    Backtrace all processes matching state flag

                                    Display per_cpu variables

All that is needed is to check the how long the cmd_usage is and jump

f7c82d5a3c kdb: A fix for kdb command table expansion
When locally adding in some additional kdb commands, I stumbled
across an issue with the dynamic expansion of the kdb command table.
When the number of kdb commands exceeds the size of the statically
allocated kdb_base_commands[] array, additional space is allocated in
the kdb_register_repeat() routine.

The unused portion of the newly allocated array was not being initialized
to zero properly and this would result in segfaults when help '?' was
executed or when a search for a non-existing command would traverse the
command table beyond the end of valid command entries and then attempt
to use the non-zeroed area as actual command entries.

17b572e820 kdb,vt_console: Fix missed data due to pager overruns
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.

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.  We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it..

1ba0c1720e kdb: Add message about CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA on failure to install breakpoint
On x86, if CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is set, one cannot set breakpoints
via KDB.  Apparently this is a well-known problem, as at least one distribution
now ships with both KDB enabled and CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=y for security reasons.

This patch adds an printk message to the breakpoint failure case,
in order to provide suggestions about how to use the debugger.

b8adde8dde kdb: Avoid using dbg_io_ops until it is initialized
This fixes a bug with setting a breakpoint during kdb initialization
(from kdb_cmds).  Any call to kdb_printf() before the initialization
of the kgdboc serial console driver (which happens much later during
bootup than kdb_init), results in kernel panic due to the use of
dbg_io_ops before it is initialized.

8f30d41176 KDB: Fix usability issues relating to the 'enter' key.
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.

37f86b469d kdb,kgdb: Allow arbitrary kgdb magic knock sequences
The first packet that gdb sends when the kernel is in kdb mode seems
to change with every release of gdb.  Instead of continuing to add
many different gdb packets, change kdb to automatically look for any
thing that looks like a gdb packet.

Example 1 cold start test:
echo g > /proc/sysrq-trigger
$D#44+

Example 2 cold start test:
echo g > /proc/sysrq-trigger
$3#33

The second one should re-enter kdb's shell right away and is purely a

When switching from kdb mode to kgdb mode packets were getting lost
depending on the size of the fifo queue of the serial chip.  When gdb
initially connects if it is in kdb mode it should entirely send any
character buffer over to the gdbstub when switching connections.

Previously kdb was zero'ing out the character buffer and this could
lead to gdb failing to connect at all, or a lengthy pause could occur
on the initial connect.

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

The kdb_walk_kallsyms needs a #ifdef proper header to match the C
implementation.  This patch also fixes the compiler warnings in
kdb_support.c when compiling without CONFIG_KALLSYMS set.  The
compiler warnings are a result of the kallsyms_lookup() macro not

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

a0de055cf6 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.

f5316b4aea kgdb,8250,pl011: Return immediately from console poll
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.

5d5314d679 kdb: core for kgdb back end (1 of 2)
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.
