The main kdb command parser only handles CR (ASCII 13 AKA '\r') today,
but not LF (ASCII 10 AKA '\n'). That means that the kdb command parser
can handle terminals that send just CR or that send CR+LF but can't
handle terminals that send just LF.
The fact that kdb didn't handle LF in the command parser tripped up a
tool I tried to use with it. Specifically, I was trying to send a
command to my device to resume it from kdb using a ChromeOS tool like:
dut-control cpu_uart_cmd:"g"
That tool only terminates lines with LF, not CR+LF.
Arguably the ChromeOS tool should be fixed. After all, officially kdb
seems to be designed such that CR+LF is the official line ending
transmitted over the wire and that internally a line ending is just
'\n' (LF). Some evidence:
* uart_poll_put_char(), which is used by kdb, notices a '\n' and
converts it to '\r\n'.
* kdb functions specifically use '\r' to get a carriage return without
a newline. You can see this in the pager where kdb will write a '\r'
and then write over the pager prompt.
However, all that being said there's no real harm in accepting LF as a
command terminator in the kdb parser and doing so seems like it would
improve compatibility. After this, I'd expect that things would work
OK-ish with a remote terminal that used any of CR, CR+LF, or LF as a
line ending. Someone using CR as a line ending might get some ugliness
where kdb wasn't able to overwrite the last line, but basic commands
would work. Someone using just LF as a line ending would probably also
work OK.
A few other notes:
- It can be noted that "bash" running on an "agetty" handles LF as a
line termination with no complaints.
- Historically, kdb's "pager" actually handled either CR or LF fine. A
very quick inspection would make one think that kdb's pager actually
could have paged down two lines instead of one for anyone using
CR+LF, but this is generally avoided because of kdb_input_flush().
- Conceivably one could argue that some of this special case logic
belongs in uart_poll_get_char() since uart_poll_put_char() handles
the '\n' => '\r\n' conversion. I would argue that perhaps we should
eventually do the opposite and move the '\n' => '\r\n' out of
uart_poll_put_char(). Having that conversion at such a low level
could interfere if we ever want to transfer binary data. In
addition, if we truly made uart_poll_get_char() the inverse of
uart_poll_put_char() it would convert back to '\n' and (ironically)
kdb's parser currently only looks for '\r' to find the end of a
command.

As promised, for v5.19 I queued up quite a bit of work for modules, but
still with a pretty conservative eye. These changes have been soaking on
modules-next (and so linux-next) for quite some time, the code shift was
merged onto modules-next on March 22, and the last patch was queued on May
5th.
The following are the highlights of what bells and whistles we will get for
v5.19:
1) It was time to tidy up kernel/module.c and one way of starting with
that effort was to split it up into files. At my request Aaron Tomlin
spearheaded that effort with the goal to not introduce any
functional at all during that endeavour. The penalty for the split
is +1322 bytes total, +112 bytes in data, +1210 bytes in text while
bss is unchanged. One of the benefits of this other than helping
make the code easier to read and review is summoning more help on review
for changes with livepatching so kernel/module/livepatch.c is now
pegged as maintained by the live patching folks.
The before and after with just the move on a defconfig on x86-64:
$ size kernel/module.o
text data bss dec hex filename
38434 4540 104 43078 a846 kernel/module.o
$ size -t kernel/module/*.o
text data bss dec hex filename
4785 120 0 4905 1329 kernel/module/kallsyms.o
28577 4416 104 33097 8149 kernel/module/main.o
1158 8 0 1166 48e kernel/module/procfs.o
902 108 0 1010 3f2 kernel/module/strict_rwx.o
3390 0 0 3390 d3e kernel/module/sysfs.o
832 0 0 832 340 kernel/module/tree_lookup.o
39644 4652 104 44400 ad70 (TOTALS)
2) Aaron added module unload taint tracking (MODULE_UNLOAD_TAINT_TRACKING),
so to enable tracking unloaded modules which did taint the kernel.
3) Christophe Leroy added CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_MODULES_DATA_IN_VMALLOC
which lets architectures to request having modules data in vmalloc
area instead of module area. There are three reasons why an
architecture might want this:
a) On some architectures (like book3s/32) it is not possible to protect
against execution on a page basis. The exec stuff can be mapped by
different arch segment sizes (on book3s/32 that is 256M segments). By
default the module area is in an Exec segment while vmalloc area is in
a NoExec segment. Using vmalloc lets you muck with module data as
NoExec on those architectures whereas before you could not.
b) By pushing more module data to vmalloc you also increase the
probability of module text to remain within a closer distance
from kernel core text and this reduces trampolines, this has been
reported on arm first and powerpc folks are following that lead.
c) Free'ing module_alloc() (Exec by default) area leaves this
exposed as Exec by default, some architectures have some
security enhancements to set this as NoExec on free, and splitting
module data with text let's future generic special allocators
be added to the kernel without having developers try to grok
the tribal knowledge per arch. Work like Rick Edgecombe's
permission vmalloc interface [0] becomes easier to address over
time.

KGDB and KDB allow read and write access to kernel memory, and thus
should be restricted during lockdown. An attacker with access to a
serial port (for example, via a hypervisor console, which some cloud
vendors provide over the network) could trigger the debugger so it is
important that the debugger respect the lockdown mode when/if it is
triggered.
Fix this by integrating lockdown into kdb's existing permissions
mechanism. Unfortunately kgdb does not have any permissions mechanism
(although it certainly could be added later) so, for now, kgdb is simply
and brutally disabled by immediately exiting the gdb stub without taking
any action.
For lockdowns established early in the boot (e.g. the normal case) then
this should be fine but on systems where kgdb has set breakpoints before
the lockdown is enacted than "bad things" will happen.

Currently kdb_putarea_size() uses copy_from_kernel_nofault() to write *to*
arbitrary kernel memory. This is obviously wrong and means the memory
modify ('mm') command is a serious risk to debugger stability: if we poke
to a bad address we'll double-fault and lose our debug session.
Fix this the (very) obvious way.
Note that there are two Fixes: tags because the API was renamed and this
patch will only trivially backport as far as the rename (and this is
probably enough). Nevertheless Christoph's rename did not introduce this
problem so I wanted to record that!

Currently kdb contains some open-coded routines to generate a summary
character for each task. This code currently issues warnings, is
almost certainly broken and won't make sense to any kernel dev who
has ever used /proc to examine task states.
Fix both the warning and the potential for confusion by adopting the
scheduler's task classification. Whilst doing this we also simplify the
filtering by using mask strings directly (which means we don't have to
guess all the characters the scheduler might give us).
Unfortunately we can't quite match the scheduler classification completely.
We add four extra states: - for idle loops and i, m and s for sleeping
system daemons (which means kthreads in one of the I, M and S states).
These extra states are used to manage the filters for tools to make the
output of ps and bta less noisy.
Note: The Fixes below is the last point the original dubious code was
moved; it was not introduced by that patch. However it gives us
the last point to which this patch can be easily backported.
Happily that should be enough to cover the introduction of
CONFIG_WERROR!

Commit e4f291b3f7 ("kdb: Simplify kdb commands registration")
allowed registration of pre-allocated kdb commands with pointer to
struct kdbtab_t. Lets switch other users as well to register pre-
allocated kdb commands via:
- Changing prototype for kdb_register() to pass a pointer to struct
kdbtab_t instead.
- Embed kdbtab_t structure in kdb_macro_t rather than individual params.
With these changes kdb_register_flags() becomes redundant and hence
removed. Also, since we have switched all users to register
pre-allocated commands, "is_dynamic" flag in struct kdbtab_t becomes
redundant and hence removed as well.

Currently the only user for debug heap is kdbnearsym() which can be
modified to rather use statically allocated buffer for symbol name as
per it's current usage. So do that and hence remove custom debug heap
allocator.
Note that this change puts a restriction on kdbnearsym() callers to
carefully use shared namebuf such that a caller should consume the symbol
returned immediately prior to another call to fetch a different symbol.
Also, this change uses standard KSYM_NAME_LEN macro for namebuf
allocation instead of local variable: knt1_size which should avoid any
conflicts caused by changes to KSYM_NAME_LEN macro value.
This change has been tested using kgdbtest on arm64 which doesn't show
any regressions.

result, the access to the buffer is fully lockless now.
Note that printk() itself still uses locks because it tries to flush

buffers are still there because they prevent infinite recursion and

Rather than storing the iterator information in the registered

kmsg_dump_iter structure can reside on the stack of the caller, thus
allowing lockless use of the kmsg_dump functions.
Update code that accesses the kernel logs using the kmsg_dumper

this also means adding a call to kmsg_dump_rewind() to initialize

To the very best of my knowledge there has never been any in-tree
code that calls this function. It exists largely to support an
out-of-tree driver that provides kgdb-over-ethernet using the
netpoll API.
kgdboe has been out-of-tree for more than 10 years and I don't
recall any serious attempt to upstream it at any point in the last
five. At this stage it looks better to stop carrying this code in
the kernel and integrate the code into the out-of-tree driver
instead.
The long term trajectory for the kernel looks likely to include
effort to remove or reduce the use of tasklets (something that has
also been true for the last 10 years). Thus the main real reason
for this patch is to make explicit that the in-tree kgdb features
do not require tasklets.

Currently kdb uses in_interrupt() to determine whether its library
code has been called from the kgdb trap handler or from a saner calling
context such as driver init. This approach is broken because
in_interrupt() alone isn't able to determine kgdb trap handler entry from
normal task context. This can happen during normal use of basic features
such as breakpoints and can also be trivially reproduced using:
echo g > /proc/sysrq-trigger
We can improve this by adding check for in_dbg_master() instead which
explicitly determines if we are running in debugger context.

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.

During debug trap execution we expect dbg_deactivate_sw_breakpoints()
to be paired with an dbg_activate_sw_breakpoint(). Currently although
the calls are paired correctly they are needlessly smeared across three
different functions. Worse this also results in code to drive polled I/O
being called with breakpoints activated which, in turn, needlessly
increases the set of functions that will recursively trap if breakpointed.
Fix this by moving the activation of breakpoints into the debug core.

Currently kgdb honours the kprobe blocklist but doesn't place its own
trap handling code on the list. Add labels to discourage attempting to
use kgdb to debug itself.
Not every functions that executes from the trap handler needs to be
marked up: relatively early in the trap handler execution (just after
we bring the other CPUs to a halt) all breakpoints are replaced with
the original opcodes. This patch marks up code in the debug_core that
executes between trap entry and the breakpoints being deactivated
and, also, code that executes between breakpoint activation and trap
exit.
To be clear these changes are not sufficient to make recursive trapping
impossible since they do not include library calls made during kgdb's
entry/exit logic. However going much further whilst we are sharing the
kprobe blocklist risks reducing the capabilities of kprobe and this
would be a bad trade off (especially so given kgdb's users are currently
conditioned to avoid recursive traps).

default implementation of kgdb_validate_break_address() so that we use

if the config symbol is set. The config symbol dependencies are set to
ensure that the blocklist will be enabled by default if we enable KGDB

On my system the kernel processes the "kgdb_earlycon" parameter before
the "kgdbcon" parameter. When we setup "kgdb_earlycon" we'll end up
in kgdb_register_callbacks() and "kgdb_use_con" won't have been set
yet so we'll never get around to starting "kgdbcon". Let's remedy
this by detecting that the IO module was already registered when
setting "kgdb_use_con" and registering the console then.
As part of this, to avoid pre-declaring things, move the handling of
the "kgdbcon" further down in the file.
