Currently, 'KDBFLAGS' is an internal variable of kdb, it is combined
by 'KDBDEBUG' and state flags. It will be shown only when 'KDBDEBUG'
is set, and the user can define an environment variable named 'KDBFLAGS'
too. These are puzzling indeed.
After communication with Daniel, it seems that 'KDBFLAGS' is a misfeature.
So let's replace 'KDBFLAGS' with 'KDBDEBUG' to just show the value we
wrote into. After this modification, we can use `md4c1 kdb_flags` instead,
to observe the state flags.

We want to enable kgdb to debug the early parts of the kernel.
Unfortunately kgdb normally is a client of the tty API in the kernel
and serial drivers don't register to the tty layer until fairly late
in the boot process.
Serial drivers do, however, commonly register a boot console. Let's
enable the kgdboc driver to work with boot consoles to provide early
debugging.
This change co-opts the existing read() function pointer that's part
of "struct console". It's assumed that if a boot console (with the
flag CON_BOOT) has implemented read() that both the read() and write()
function are polling functions. That means they work without
interrupts and read() will return immediately (with 0 bytes read) if
there's nothing to read. This should be a safe assumption since it
appears that no current boot consoles implement read() right now and
there seems no reason to do so unless they wanted to support
"kgdboc_earlycon".
The normal/expected way to make all this work is to use
"kgdboc_earlycon" and "kgdboc" together. You should point them both
to the same physical serial connection. At boot time, as the system
transitions from the boot console to the normal console (and registers
a tty), kgdb will switch over.
One awkward part of all this, though, is that there can be a window
where the boot console goes away and we can't quite transtion over to
the main kgdboc that uses the tty layer. There are two main problems:
1. The act of registering the tty doesn't cause any call into kgdboc
so there is a window of time when the tty is there but kgdboc's
init code hasn't been called so we can't transition to it.
2. On some serial drivers the normal console inits (and replaces the
boot console) quite early in the system. Presumably these drivers
were coded up before earlycon worked as well as it does today and
probably they don't need to do this anymore, but it causes us
problems nontheless.
Problem #1 is not too big of a deal somewhat due to the luck of probe
ordering. kgdboc is last in the tty/serial/Makefile so its probe gets
right after all other tty devices. It's not fun to rely on this, but
it does work for the most part.
Problem #2 is a big deal, but only for some serial drivers. Other
serial drivers end up registering the console (which gets rid of the
boot console) and tty at nearly the same time.
The way we'll deal with the window when the system has stopped using
the boot console and the time when we're setup using the tty is to
keep using the boot console. This may sound surprising, but it has
been found to work well in practice. If it doesn't work, it shouldn't
be too hard for a given serial driver to make it keep working.
Specifically, it's expected that the read()/write() function provided
in the boot console should be the same (or nearly the same) as the
normal kgdb polling functions. That means continuing to use them
should work just fine. To make things even more likely to work work
we'll also trap the recently added exit() function in the boot console
we're using and delay any calls to it until we're all done with the
boot console.
NOTE: there could be ways to use all this in weird / unexpected ways.
If you do something like this, it's a bit of a buyer beware situation.
Specifically:
- If you specify only "kgdboc_earlycon" but not "kgdboc" then
(depending on your serial driver) things will probably work OK, but
you'll get a warning printed the first time you use kgdb after the
boot console is gone. You'd only be able to do this, of course, if
the serial driver you're running atop provided an early boot console.
- If your "kgdboc_earlycon" and "kgdboc" devices are not the same
device things should work OK, but it'll be your job to switch over
which device you're monitoring (including figuring out how to switch
over gdb in-flight if you're using it).
When trying to enable "kgdboc_earlycon" it should be noted that the
names that are registered through the boot console layer and the tty
layer are not the same for the same port. For example when debugging
on one board I'd need to pass "kgdboc_earlycon=qcom_geni
kgdboc=ttyMSM0" to enable things properly. Since digging up the boot
console name is a pain and there will rarely be more than one boot
console enabled, you can provide the "kgdboc_earlycon" parameter
without specifying the name of the boot console. In this case we'll
just pick the first boot that implements read() that we find.
This new "kgdboc_earlycon" parameter should be contrasted to the
existing "ekgdboc" parameter. While both provide a way to debug very
early, the usage and mechanisms are quite different. Specifically
"kgdboc_earlycon" is meant to be used in tandem with "kgdboc" and
there is a transition from one to the other. The "ekgdboc" parameter,
on the other hand, replaces the "kgdboc" parameter. It runs the same
logic as the "kgdboc" parameter but just relies on your TTY driver
being present super early. The only known usage of the old "ekgdboc"
parameter is documented as "ekgdboc=kbd earlyprintk=vga". It should
be noted that "kbd" has special treatment allowing it to init early as
a tty device.

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().

Currently the code to manage the kdb history buffer uses strncpy() to
copy strings to/and from the history and exhibits the classic "but
nobody ever told me that strncpy() doesn't always terminate strings"
bug. Modern gcc compilers recognise this bug and issue a warning.
In reality these calls will only abridge the copied string if kdb_read()
has *already* overflowed the command buffer. Thus the use of counted
copies here is only used to reduce the secondary effects of a bug
elsewhere in the code.
Therefore transitioning these calls into strscpy() (without checking

let's fix that.
...but, it turns out that there's actually no longer any reason to set
the current task / current regs while backtracing anymore anyway. As
of commit 2277b49258 ("kdb: Fix stack crawling on 'running' CPUs

CPU we ask that CPU to do the backtrace itself. Linux can do that
without anything fancy. If we're doing backtrace on a sleeping task
we can also do that fine without updating globals. So this patch
mostly just turns into deleting a bunch of code.

Currently if sequences such as "\ehelp\r" are delivered to the console then
the h gets eaten by the escape handling code. Since pressing escape
becomes something of a nervous twitch for vi users (and that escape doesn't
have much effect at a shell prompt) it is more helpful to emit the 'h' than
the '\e'.
We don't simply choose to emit the final character for all escape sequences
since that will do odd things for unsupported escape sequences (in
other words we retain the existing behaviour once we see '\e[').

Currently kdb_read_get_key() contains complex control flow that, on
close inspection, turns out to be unnecessary. In particular:
1. It is impossible to enter the branch conditioned on (escape_delay == 1)
except when the loop enters with (escape_delay == 2) allowing us to
combine the branches.
2. Most of the code conditioned on (escape_delay == 2) simply modifies
local data and then breaks out of the loop causing the function to
return escape_data[0].
3. Based on #2 there is not actually any need to ever explicitly set
escape_delay to 2 because we it is much simpler to directly return
escape_data[0] instead.
4. escape_data[0] is, for all but one exit path, known to be '\e'.
Simplify the code based on these observations.
There is a subtle (and harmless) change of behaviour resulting from this
simplification: instead of letting the escape timeout after ~1998
milliseconds we now timeout after ~2000 milliseconds

The problem is that 'btc' eventually boils down to
show_stack(task_struct, NULL);
...and show_stack() doesn't work for "running" CPUs because their
registers haven't been stashed.
On x86 things might work better (I haven't tested) because kdb has a
special case for x86 in kdb_show_stack() where it passes the stack
pointer to show_stack(). This wouldn't work on arm64 where the stack
crawling function seems needs the "fp" and "pc", not the "sp" which is
presumably why arm64's show_stack() function totally ignores the "sp"
parameter.
NOTE: we _can_ get a good stack dump for all the cpus if we manually
switch each one to the kdb master and do a back trace. AKA:
cpu 4
bt
...will give the expected trace. That's because now arm64's
dump_backtrace will now see that "tsk == current" and go through a
different path.
In this patch I fix the problems by catching a request to stack crawl
a task that's running on a CPU and then I ask that CPU to do the stack
crawl.
NOTE: this will (presumably) change what stack crawls are printed for
x86 machines. Now kdb functions will show up in the stack crawl.
Presumably this is OK but if it's not we can go back and add a special
case for x86 again.

I noticed that when I did "btc <cpu>" and the CPU I passed in hadn't
rounded up that I'd crash. I was going to copy the same fix from
commit 162bc7f5af ("kdb: Don't back trace on a cpu that didn't round
up") into the "not all the CPUs" case, but decided it'd be better to
clean things up a little bit.
This consolidates the two code paths. It is _slightly_ wasteful in in
that the checks for "cpu" being too small or being offline isn't
really needed when we're iterating over all online CPUs, but that
really shouldn't hurt. Better to have the same code path.
While at it, eliminate at least one slightly ugly (and totally
needless) recursive use of kdb_parse().

Right now kgdb/kdb hooks up to debug panics by registering for the panic
notifier. This works OK except that it means that kgdb/kdb gets called
_after_ the CPUs in the system are taken offline. That means that if
anything important was happening on those CPUs (like something that might
have contributed to the panic) you can't debug them.
Specifically I ran into a case where I got a panic because a task was
"blocked for more than 120 seconds" which was detected on CPU 2. I nicely
got shown stack traces in the kernel log for all CPUs including CPU 0,
which was running 'PID: 111 Comm: kworker/0:1H' and was in the middle of
__mmc_switch().
I then ended up at the kdb prompt where switched over to kgdb to try to
look at local variables of the process on CPU 0. I found that I couldn't.
Digging more, I found that I had no info on any tasks running on CPUs
other than CPU 2 and that asking kdb for help showed me "Error: no saved
data for this cpu". This was because all the CPUs were offline.
Let's move the entry of kdb/kgdb to a direct call from panic() and stop
using the generic notifier. Putting a direct call in allows us to order
things more properly and it also doesn't seem like we're breaking any
abstractions by calling into the debugger from the panic function.
Daniel said:

If you drop into kdb and type "summary", it prints out a line that
says this:
ccversion CCVERSION
...and I don't mean that it actually prints out the version of the C
compiler. It literally prints out the string "CCVERSION".
The version of the C Compiler is already printed at boot up and it
doesn't seem useful to replicate this in kdb. Let's just delete it.
We can also delete the bit of the Makefile that called the C compiler
in an attempt to pass this into kdb. This will remove one extra call
to the C compiler at Makefile parse time and (very slightly) speed up
builds.

up crashing in kdb becaue we dereferenced NULL. Let's add a check.

If we're using the default implementation of kgdb_roundup_cpus() that
uses smp_call_function_single_async() we can end up hanging
kgdb_roundup_cpus() if we try to round up a CPU that failed to round
up before.
Specifically smp_call_function_single_async() will try to wait on the
csd lock for the CPU that we're trying to round up. If the previous
round up never finished then that lock could still be held and we'll
just sit there hanging.
There's not a lot of use trying to round up a CPU that failed to round
up before. Let's keep a flag that indicates whether the CPU started
but didn't finish to round up before. If we see that flag set then
we'll skip the next round up.
In general we have a few goals here:
- We never want to end up calling smp_call_function_single_async()
when the csd is still locked. This is accomplished because
flush_smp_call_function_queue() unlocks the csd _before_ invoking
the callback. That means that when kgdb_nmicallback() runs we know
for sure the the csd is no longer locked. Thus when we set
"rounding_up = false" we know for sure that the csd is unlocked.
- If there are no timeouts rounding up we should never skip a round
up.
NOTE #1: In general trying to continue running after failing to round
up CPUs doesn't appear to be supported in the debugger. When I
simulate this I find that kdb reports "Catastrophic error detected"
when I try to continue. I can overrule and continue anyway, but it
should be noted that we may be entering the land of dragons here.
Possibly the "Catastrophic error detected" was added _because_ of the
future failure to round up, but even so this is an area of the code
that hasn't been strongly tested.
NOTE #2: I did a bit of testing before and after this change. I
introduced a 10 second hang in the kernel while holding a spinlock
that I could invoke on a certain CPU with 'taskset -c 3 cat /sys/...".
Before this change if I did:
- Invoke hang
- Enter debugger
- g (which warns about Catastrophic error, g again to go anyway)
- g
- Enter debugger
...I'd hang the rest of the 10 seconds without getting a debugger
prompt. After this change I end up in the debugger the 2nd time after
only 1 second with the standard warning about 'Timed out waiting for
secondary CPUs.'
I'll also note that once the CPU finished waiting I could actually
debug it (aka "btc" worked)
I won't promise that everything works perfectly if the errant CPU
comes back at just the wrong time (like as we're entering or exiting
the debugger) but it certainly seems like an improvement.
NOTE #3: setting 'kgdb_info[cpu].rounding_up = false' is in
kgdb_nmicallback() instead of kgdb_call_nmi_hook() because some
implementations override kgdb_call_nmi_hook(). It shouldn't hurt to
have it in kgdb_nmicallback() in any case.
NOTE #4: this logic is really only needed because there is no API call
like "smp_try_call_function_single_async()" or "smp_csd_is_locked()".
If such an API existed then we'd use it instead, but it seemed a bit
much to add an API like this just for kgdb.

Looking closely at it, it seems like a really bad idea to be calling
local_irq_enable() in kgdb_roundup_cpus(). If nothing else that seems
like it could violate spinlock semantics and cause a deadlock.
Instead, let's use a private csd alongside
smp_call_function_single_async() to round up the other CPUs. Using
smp_call_function_single_async() doesn't require interrupts to be
enabled so we can remove the offending bit of code.
In order to avoid duplicating this across all the architectures that
use the default kgdb_roundup_cpus(), we'll add a "weak" implementation
to debug_core.c.
Looking at all the people who previously had copies of this code,
there were a few variants. I've attempted to keep the variants
working like they used to. Specifically:
* For arch/arc we passed NULL to kgdb_nmicallback() instead of
get_irq_regs().
* For arch/mips there was a bit of extra code around
kgdb_nmicallback()
NOTE: In this patch we will still get into trouble if we try to round
up a CPU that failed to round up before. We'll try to round it up
again and potentially hang when we try to grab the csd lock. That's
not new behavior but we'll still try to do better in a future patch.

looking at them. So we can definitely remove the flags.
