  • Notify GDB of the machine halting, rebooting or powering off by sending it an
    exited command (remote protocol command 'W'). This is done by calling:

    void gdbstub_exit(int status)

    from the arch's machine_{halt,restart,power_off}() functions with an
    appropriate exit status to be reported to GDB.

  • The kgdb_disable_hw_debug() was an architecture specific function for
    disabling all hardware breakpoints on a per cpu basis when entering
    the debug core.

    This patch will remove the weak function kdbg_disable_hw_debug() and
    change it into a call back which lives with the rest of hw breakpoint
    call backs in struct kgdb_arch.

  • The gdbserial 'p' and 'P' packets allow gdb to individually get and
    set registers instead of querying for all the available registers.

  • 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.

  • The kernel debugger can operate well before mm_init(), but the x86
    hardware breakpoint code which uses the perf api requires that the
    kernel allocators are initialized.

    This means the kernel debug core needs to provide an optional arch
    specific call back to allow the initialization functions to run after
    the kernel has been further initialized.

    The kdb shell already had a similar restriction with an early
    initialization and late initialization. The kdb_init() was moved into
    the debug core's version of the late init which is called
    dbg_late_init();

  • Some kgdb I/O modules require the ability to create a breakpoint
    tasklet, such as kgdboc and external modules such as kgdboe. The
    breakpoint tasklet is used as an asynchronous entry point into the
    debugger which will have a different function scope than the current
    execution path where it might not be safe to have an inline
    breakpoint. This is true of some of the kgdb I/O drivers which share
    code with kgdb and rest of the kernel users.

  • The only way the debugger can handle a trap in inside rcu_lock,
    notify_die, or atomic_notifier_call_chain without a triple fault is
    to have a low level "first opportunity handler" in the int3 exception
    handler.

    Generally this will be something the vast majority of folks will not
    need, but for those who need it, it is added as a kernel .config
    option called KGDB_LOW_LEVEL_TRAP.

  • Remove all the references to the kgdb_post_primary_code. This
    function serves no useful purpose because you can obtain the same
    information from the "struct kgdb_state *ks" from with in the
    debugger, if for some reason you want the data.

    Also remove the unintentional duplicate assignment for ks->ex_vector.

  • These are the minimum changes to the kgdb core in order to enable an
    API to connect a new front end (kdb) to the debug core.

    This patch introduces the dbg_kdb_mode variable controls where the
    user level I/O is routed. It will be routed to the gdbstub (kgdb) or
    to the kdb front end which is a simple shell available over the kgdboc
    connection.

    You can switch back and forth between kdb or the gdb stub mode of
    operation dynamically. From gdb stub mode you can blindly type
    "$3#33", or from the kdb mode you can enter "kgdb" to switch to the
    gdb stub.

    The logic in the debug core depends on kdb to look for the typical gdb
    connection sequences and return immediately with KGDB_PASS_EVENT if a
    gdb serial command sequence is detected. That should allow a
    reasonably seamless transition between kdb -> gdb without leaving the
    kernel exception state. The two gdb serial queries that kdb is
    responsible for detecting are the "?" and "qSupported" packets.

  • Split the former kernel/kgdb.c into debug_core.c which contains the
    kernel debugger exception logic and to the gdbstub.c which contains
    the logic for allowing gdb to talk to the debug core.

    This also created a private include file called debug_core.h which
    contains all the definitions to glue the debug_core to any other
    debugger connections.
