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
test.

f679c4985b kdb,kgdb: Implement switch and pass buffer from kdb -> gdb
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.

931ea24819 kdb: fix per_cpu command to remove supress mask
Rusty pointed out that the per_cpu command uses up lots of space on
the stack and the cpu supress mask is probably not needed.

This patch removes the need for the supress mask as well as fixing up
the following problems with the kdb per_cpu command:
  * The per_cpu command should allow an address as an argument
  * When you have more data than can be displayed on one screen allow
    the user to break out of the print loop.

495363d380 kdb,debug_core: adjust master cpu switch logic against new debug_core locking
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
context.

dfee3a7b92 debug_core: refactor locking for master/slave cpus
For quite some time there have been problems with memory barriers and
various races with NMI on multi processor systems using the kernel
debugger.  The algorithm for entering the kernel debug core and
resuming kernel execution was racy and had several known edge case
problems with attempting to debug something on a heavily loaded system
using breakpoints that are hit repeatedly and quickly.

The prior "locking" design entry worked as follows:

  * The atomic counter kgdb_active was used with atomic exchange in
    order to elect a master cpu out of all the cpus that may have
    taken a debug exception.
  * The master cpu increments all elements of passive_cpu_wait[].
  * The master cpu issues the round up cpus message.
  * Each "slave cpu" that enters the debug core increments its own
    element in cpu_in_kgdb[].
  * Each "slave cpu" spins on passive_cpu_wait[] until it becomes 0.
  * The master cpu debugs the system.

The new scheme removes the two arrays of atomic counters and replaces
them with 2 single counters.  One counter is used to count the number
of cpus waiting to become a master cpu (because one or more hit an
exception). The second counter is use to indicate how many cpus have
entered as slave cpus.

The new entry logic works as follows:

  * One or more cpus enters via kgdb_handle_exception() and increments
    the masters_in_kgdb. Each cpu attempts to get the spin lock called
    dbg_master_lock.
  * The master cpu sets kgdb_active to the current cpu.
  * The master cpu takes the spinlock dbg_slave_lock.
  * The master cpu asks to round up all the other cpus.
  * Each slave cpu that is not already in kgdb_handle_exception()
    will enter and increment slaves_in_kgdb.  Each slave will now spin
    try_locking on dbg_slave_lock.
  * The master cpu waits for the sum of masters_in_kgdb and slaves_in_kgdb
    to be equal to the sum of the online cpus.
  * The master cpu debugs the system.

In the new design the kgdb_active can only be changed while holding
dbg_master_lock.  Stress testing has not turned up any further
entry/exit races that existed in the prior locking design.  The prior
locking design suffered from atomic variables not being truly atomic
(in the capacity as used by kgdb) along with memory barrier races.

c1bb9a9c19 debug_core: disable hw_breakpoints on all cores in kgdb_cpu_enter()
The slave cpus do not have the hw breakpoints disabled upon entry to
the debug_core and as a result could cause unrecoverable recursive
faults on badly placed breakpoints, or get out of sync with the arch
specific hw breakpoint operations.

This patch addresses the problem by invoking kgdb_disable_hw_debug()
earlier in kgdb_enter_cpu for each cpu that enters the debug core.

The hw breakpoint dis/enable flow should be:

master_debug_cpu   slave_debug_cpu
         \              /
          kgdb_cpu_enter
                |
        kgdb_disable_hw_debug --> uninstall pre-enabled hw_breakpoint
                |
 do add/rm dis/enable operates to hw_breakpoints on master_debug_cpu..
                |
        correct_hw_break --> correct/install the enabled hw_breakpoint
                |

b590cddfa6 kdb: fix compile error without CONFIG_KALLSYMS
If CONFIG_KGDB_KDB is set and CONFIG_KALLSYMS is not set the kernel

kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_support.c:193: undefined reference to `kdb_walk_kallsyms'

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

81d4450732 vt,console,kdb: automatically set kdb LINES variable
The kernel console interface stores the number of lines it is
configured to use. The kdb debugger can greatly benefit by knowing how
many lines there are on the console for the pager functionality
without having the end user compile in the setting or have to
repeatedly change it at run time.

3fa43aba08 debug_core,kdb: fix crash when arch does not have single step
When an arch such as mips and microblaze does not implement either HW
or software single stepping the debug core should re-enter kdb.  The
kdb code will properly ignore the single step operation.  Attempting
to single step the kernel without software or hardware support causes
unpredictable kernel crashes.

6d855b1d83 gdbstub: do not directly use dbg_reg_def[] in gdb_cmd_reg_set()
Presently the usable registers definitions on x86 are not contiguous
for kgdb.  The x86 kgdb uses a case statement for the sparse register
accesses.  The array which defines the registers (dbg_reg_def) should
not be used directly in order to safely work with sparse register
definitions.

Specifically there was a problem when gdb accesses ORIG_AX, which is
accessed only through the case statement.

This patch encodes register memory using the size information provided
from the debugger which avoids the need to look up the size of the
register.  The dbg_set_reg() function always further validates the
inputs from the debugger.

534af10823 kgdb,kdb: individual register set and and get API
The kdb shell specification includes the ability to get and set
architecture specific registers by name.

For the time being individual register get and set will be implemented
on a per architecture basis.  If an architecture defines
DBG_MAX_REG_NUM > 0 then kdb and the gdbstub will use the capability
for individually getting and setting architecture specific registers.

84a0bd5b28 gdbstub: Optimize kgdb's "thread:" response for the gdb serial protocol
The gdb debugger understands how to parse short versions of the thread
reference string as long as the bytes are paired in sets of two
characters.  The kgdb implementation was always sending 8 leading
zeros which could be omitted, and further optimized in the case of
non-negative thread numbers.  The negative numbers are used to
reference a specific cpu in the case of kgdb.

An example of the previous i386 stop packet looks like:
    T05thread:00000000000003bb;

New stop packet response:
    T05thread:03bb;

The previous ThreadInfo response looks like:
    m00000000fffffffe,0000000000000001,0000000000000002,0000000000000003,0000000000000004,0000000000000005,0000000000000006,0000000000000007,000000000000000c,0000000000000088,000000000000008a,000000000000008b,000000000000008c,000000000000008d,000000000000008e,00000000000000d4,00000000000000d5,00000000000000dd

New ThreadInfo response:
    mfffffffe,01,02,03,04,05,06,07,0c,88,8a,8b,8c,8d,8e,d4,d5,dd

A few bytes saved means better response time when using kgdb over a
serial line.

b0679c63db debug_core,kdb: fix kgdb_connected bit set in the wrong place
Immediately following an exit from the kdb shell the kgdb_connected
variable should be set to zero, unless there are breakpoints planted.
If the kgdb_connected variable is not zeroed out with kdb, it is
impossible to turn off kdb.

This patch is merely a work around for now, the real fix will check
for the breakpoints.

9e8b624fca Fix merge regression from external kdb to upstream kdb
In the process of merging kdb to the mainline, the kdb lsmod command
stopped printing the base load address of kernel modules.  This is
needed for using kdb in conjunction with external tools such as gdb.

Simply restore the functionality by adding a kdb_printf for the base
load address of the kernel modules.
