kdb: Fix pager search for multi-line strings

2020-10-29T09:08:00+00:00

[ Upstream commit d081a6e353168f15e63eb9e9334757f20343319f ]

Currently using forward search doesn't handle multi-line strings correctly.
The search routine replaces line breaks with \0 during the search and, for
regular searches ("help | grep Common\n"), there is code after the line
has been discarded or printed to replace the break character.

However during a pager search ("help\n" followed by "/Common\n") when the
string is matched we will immediately return to normal output and the code
that should restore the \n becomes unreachable. Fix this by restoring the
replaced character when we disable the search mode and update the comment
accordingly.

Fixes: fb6daa7520f9d ("kdb: Provide forward search at more prompt")

kgdb: enable arch to support XML packet.

2020-07-10T03:09:28+00:00

The XML packet could be supported by required architecture if the
architecture defines CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_KGDB_QXFER_PKT and implement its own
kgdb_arch_handle_qxfer_pkt(). Except for the kgdb_arch_handle_qxfer_pkt(),
the architecture also needs to record the feature supported by gdb stub
into the kgdb_arch_gdb_stub_feature, and these features will be reported
to host gdb when gdb stub receives the qSupported packet.

kgdb: Avoid suspicious RCU usage warning

2020-06-26T14:41:40+00:00

At times when I'm using kgdb I see a splat on my console about
suspicious RCU usage.  I managed to come up with a case that could
reproduce this that looked like this:

  WARNING: suspicious RCU usage

  -----------------------------
  kernel/pid.c:395 find_task_by_pid_ns() needs rcu_read_lock() protection!

If I understand properly we should just be able to blanket kgdb under
one big RCU read lock and the problem should go away.  We'll add it to
the beast-of-a-function known as kgdb_cpu_enter().

With this I no longer get any splats and things seem to work fine.

kdb: Switch to use safer dbg_io_ops over console APIs

2020-06-26T14:40:16+00:00

In kgdb context, calling console handlers aren't safe due to locks used
in those handlers which could in turn lead to a deadlock. Although, using
oops_in_progress increases the chance to bypass locks in most console
handlers but it might not be sufficient enough in case a console uses
more locks (VT/TTY is good example).

Currently when a driver provides both polling I/O and a console then kdb
will output using the console. We can increase robustness by using the
currently active polling I/O driver (which should be lockless) instead
of the corresponding console. For several common cases (e.g. an
embedded system with a single serial port that is used both for console
output and debugger I/O) this will result in no console handler being
used.

In order to achieve this we need to reverse the order of preference to
use dbg_io_ops (uses polling I/O mode) over console APIs. So we just
store "struct console" that represents debugger I/O in dbg_io_ops and
while emitting kdb messages, skip console that matches dbg_io_ops
console in order to avoid duplicate messages. After this change,
"is_console" param becomes redundant and hence removed.

kdb: Make kdb_printf() console handling more robust

2020-06-25T11:04:30+00:00

While rounding up CPUs via NMIs, its possible that a rounded up CPU
maybe holding a console port lock leading to kgdb master CPU stuck in
a deadlock during invocation of console write operations. A similar
deadlock could also be possible while using synchronous breakpoints.

So in order to avoid such a deadlock, set oops_in_progress to encourage
the console drivers to disregard their internal spin locks: in the
current calling context the risk of deadlock is a bigger problem than
risks due to re-entering the console driver. We operate directly on
oops_in_progress rather than using bust_spinlocks() because the calls
bust_spinlocks() makes on exit are not appropriate for this calling
context.

kdb: don't play with console_loglevel

2020-06-09T16:39:12+00:00

Print the stack trace with KERN_EMERG - it should be always visible.

Playing with console_loglevel is a bad idea as there may be more messages
printed than wanted.  Also the stack trace might be not printed at all if
printk() was deferred and console_loglevel was raised back before the
trace got flushed.

Unfortunately, after rebasing on commit 2277b492582d ("kdb: Fix stack
crawling on 'running' CPUs that aren't the master"), kdb_show_stack() uses
now kdb_dump_stack_on_cpu(), which for now won't be converted as it uses
dump_stack() instead of show_stack().

Convert for now the branch that uses show_stack() and remove
console_loglevel exercise from that case.
