Using kgdb requires at least some level of architecture-level initialization. If nothing else, it relies on the architecture to pass breakpoints / crashes onto kgdb. On some architectures this all works super early, specifically it starts working at some point in time before Linux parses early_params's. On other architectures it doesn't. A survey of a few platforms: a) x86: Presumably it all works early since "ekgdboc" is documented to work here. b) arm64: Catching crashes works; with a simple patch breakpoints can also be made to work. c) arm: Nothing in kgdb works until paging_init() -> devicemaps_init() -> early_trap_init() Let's be conservative and, by default, process "kgdbwait" (which tells the kernel to drop into the debugger ASAP at boot) a bit later at dbg_late_init() time. If an architecture has tested it and wants to re-enable super early debugging, they can select the ARCH_HAS_EARLY_DEBUG KConfig option. We'll do this for x86 to start. It should be noted that dbg_late_init() is still called quite early in the system. Note that this patch doesn't affect when kgdb runs its init. If kgdb is set to initialize early it will still initialize when parsing early_param's. This patch _only_ inhibits the initial breakpoint from "kgdbwait". This means: * Without any extra patches arm64 platforms will at least catch crashes after kgdb inits. * arm platforms will catch crashes (and could handle a hardcoded kgdb_breakpoint()) any time after early_trap_init() runs, even before dbg_late_init().

If an architecture can definitely handle entering the debugger
|
|
when early_param's are parsed then it select this config.
|
|
Otherwise, if "kgdbwait" is passed on the kernel command line it
|
|
won't actually be processed until dbg_late_init() just after the
|
|
call to kgdb_arch_late() is made.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Even if this isn't selected by an architecture we will
|
|
still try to register kgdb to handle breakpoints and crashes
|
|
when early_param's are parsed, we just won't act on the
|
|
"kgdbwait" parameter until dbg_late_init(). If you get a
|
|
crash and try to drop into kgdb somewhere between these two
|
|
places you might or might not end up being able to use kgdb
|
|
depending on exactly how far along the architecture has initted.
