[ Upstream commit 162bc7f5afd75b72acbe3c5f3488ef7e64a3fe36 ]
If you have a CPU that fails to round up and then run 'btc' you'll end
up crashing in kdb becaue we dereferenced NULL. Let's add a check.
It's wise to also set the task to NULL when leaving the debugger so
that if we fail to round up on a later entry into the debugger we
won't backtrace a stale task.Signed-off-by: Douglas Anderson

commit 568fb6f42ac6851320adaea25f8f1b94de14e40a upstream.
Since commit ad67b74d2469 ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p"),
all pointers printed with %p are printed with hashed addresses
instead of real addresses in order to avoid leaking addresses in
dmesg and syslog. But this applies to kdb too, with is unfortunate:Entering kdb (current=0x(ptrval), pid 329) due to Keyboard Entry

15 sleeping system daemon (state M) processes suppressed,
use 'ps A' to see all.

need to be known. In addition, data displayed by kdb doesn't go into
dmesg.This patch replaces all %p by %px in kdb in order to display real
addresses.Fixes: ad67b74d2469 ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p")

commit dded2e159208a9edc21dd5c5f583afa28d378d39 upstream.
On a powerpc 8xx, 'btc' fails as follows:
Entering kdb (current=0x(ptrval), pid 282) due to Keyboard Entry
kdb> btc
btc: cpu status: Currently on cpu 0
Available cpus: 0
kdb_getarea: Bad address 0x0when booting the kernel with 'debug_boot_weak_hash', it fails as well
Entering kdb (current=0xba99ad80, pid 284) due to Keyboard Entry
kdb> btc
btc: cpu status: Currently on cpu 0
Available cpus: 0
kdb_getarea: Bad address 0xba99ad80On other platforms, Oopses have been observed too, see
https://github.com/linuxppc/linux/issues/139This is due to btc calling 'btt' with %p pointer as an argument.
This patch replaces %p by %px to get the real pointer value as
expected by 'btt'Fixes: ad67b74d2469 ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p")

The kzalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kcalloc(). This
patch replaces cases of:kzalloc(a * b, gfp)
with:
kcalloc(a * b, gfp)as well as handling cases of:
kzalloc(a * b * c, gfp)
with:
kzalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp)
as it's slightly less ugly than:
kzalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp)
This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:
kzalloc(4 * 1024, gfp)
though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.
Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
dropped, since they're redundant.The Coccinelle script used for this was:

we should really use memmove(), which is defined to handle that correctly:In function 'memcpy',

The kdb code will print the monotonic time by ktime_get_ts(), but
the ktime_get_ts() will be protected by a sequence lock, that will
introduce one deadlock risk if the lock was already held in the
context from which we entered the debugger.Thus we can use the ktime_get_mono_fast_ns() to get the monotonic
time, which is NMI safe access to clock monotonic. Moreover we can
remove the 'struct timespec', which is not y2038 safe.Signed-off-by: Baolin Wang

When an unknown command is entered, kdb prints "Unknown kdb command:"
and then the unknown text, including the newline character. This
causes the ending single-quote mark to be printed on the next line
by itself, so just change the ending newline character to a null

kdb is the only user of the __current_kernel_time() interface, which is
not y2038 safe and should be removed at some point.The kdb code also goes to great lengths to print the time in a
human-readable format from 'struct timespec', again using a non-y2038-safe
re-implementation of the generic time_to_tm() code.Using __current_kernel_time() here is necessary since the regular
accessors that require a sequence lock might hang when called during the
xtime update. However, this is safe in the particular case since kdb is
only interested in the tv_sec field that is updated atomically.In order to make this y2038-safe, I'm converting the code to the generic
time64_to_tm helper, but that introduces the problem that we have no
interface like __current_kernel_time() that provides a 64-bit timestamp
in a lockless, safe and architecture-independent way. I have multiple
ideas for how to solve that:- __ktime_get_real_seconds() is lockless, but can return
incorrect results on 32-bit architectures in the special case that
we are in the process of changing the time across the epoch, either
during the timer tick that overflows the seconds in 2038, or while
calling settimeofday.- ktime_get_real_fast_ns() would work in this context, but does
require a call into the clocksource driver to return a high-resolution
timestamp. This may have undesired side-effects in the debugger,
since we want to limit the interactions with the rest of the kernel.- Adding a ktime_get_real_fast_seconds() based on tk_fast_mono
plus tkr->base_real without the tk_clock_read() delta. Not sure about
the value of adding yet another interface here.- Changing the existing ktime_get_real_seconds() to use
tk_fast_mono on 32-bit architectures rather than xtime_sec. I think
this could work, but am not entirely sure if this is an improvement.I picked the first of those for simplicity here. It's technically
not correct but probably good enough as the time is only used for the
debugging output and the race will likely never be hit in practice.
Another downside is having to move the declaration into a public header
file.Let me know if anyone has a different preference.

- Rename from kdb_send_sig_info to kdb_send_sig
As there is no meaningful siginfo sent- Use SEND_SIG_PRIV instead of generating a siginfo for a kdb
signal. The generated siginfo had a bogus rationale and was
not correct in the face of pid namespaces. SEND_SIG_PRIV
is simpler and actually correct.- As the code grabs siglock just send the signal with siglock
held instead of dropping siglock and attempting to grab it again.- Move the sig_valid test into kdb_kill where it can generate
a good error message.Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman

kallsyms_symbol_next() returns a boolean (true on success). Currently
kdb_read() tests the return value with an inequality that
unconditionally evaluates to true.This is fixed in the obvious way and, since the conditional branch is
supposed to be unreachable, we also add a WARN_ON().Reported-by: Dan Carpenter

kdb_trap_printk allows to pass normal printk() messages to kdb via
vkdb_printk(). For example, it is used to get backtrace using the
classic show_stack(), see kdb_show_stack().vkdb_printf() tries to avoid a potential infinite loop by disabling the
trap. But this approach is racy, for example:CPU1 CPU2
vkdb_printf()
// assume that kdb_trap_printk == 0
saved_trap_printk = kdb_trap_printk;
kdb_trap_printk = 0;kdb_show_stack()
kdb_trap_printk++;Problem1: Now, a nested printk() on CPU0 calls vkdb_printf()
even when it should have been disabled. It will not
cause a deadlock but...// using the outdated saved value: 0
kdb_trap_printk = saved_trap_printk;kdb_trap_printk--;
Problem2: Now, kdb_trap_printk == -1 and will stay like this.
It means that all messages will get passed to kdb from
now on.This patch removes the racy saved_trap_printk handling. Instead, the
recursion is prevented by a check for the locked CPU.The solution is still kind of racy. A non-related printk(), from
another process, might get trapped by vkdb_printf(). And the wanted
printk() might not get trapped because kdb_printf_cpu is assigned. But
this problem existed even with the original code.A proper solution would be to get_cpu() before setting kdb_trap_printk
and trap messages only from this CPU. I am not sure if it is worth the
effort, though.In fact, the race is very theoretical. When kdb is running any of the
commands that use kdb_trap_printk there is a single active CPU and the
other CPUs should be in a holding pen inside kgdb_cpu_enter().The only time this is violated is when there is a timeout waiting for
the other CPUs to report to the holding pen.Finally, note that the situation is a bit schizophrenic. vkdb_printf()
explicitly allows recursion but only from KDB code that calls
kdb_printf() directly. On the other hand, the generic printk()
recursion is not allowed because it might cause an infinite loop. This
is why we could not hide the decision inside vkdb_printf() easily.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1480412276-16690-4-git-send-email-pmladek@suse.com

kdb_printf_lock does not prevent other CPUs from entering the critical
section because it is ignored when KDB_STATE_PRINTF_LOCK is set.The problematic situation might look like:
CPU0 CPU1
vkdb_printf()
if (!KDB_STATE(PRINTF_LOCK))
KDB_STATE_SET(PRINTF_LOCK);
spin_lock_irqsave(&kdb_printf_lock, flags);vkdb_printf()
if (!KDB_STATE(PRINTF_LOCK))BANG: The PRINTF_LOCK state is set and CPU1 is entering the critical
section without spinning on the lock.The problem is that the code tries to implement locking using two state
variables that are not handled atomically. Well, we need a custom
locking because we want to allow reentering the critical section on the
very same CPU.Let's use solution from Petr Zijlstra that was proposed for a similar
scenario, see
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20161018171513.734367391@infradead.orgThis patch uses the same trick with cmpxchg(). The only difference is
that we want to handle only recursion from the same context and
therefore we disable interrupts.In addition, KDB_STATE_PRINTF_LOCK is removed. In fact, we are not able
to set it a non-racy way.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1480412276-16690-3-git-send-email-pmladek@suse.com

kdb_event state variable is only set but never checked in the kernel
code.http://www.spinics.net/lists/kdb/msg01733.html suggests that this
variable affected WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED() in the original
implementation. But this check never went upstream.The semantic is unclear and racy. The value is updated after the
kdb_printf_lock is acquired and after it is released. It should be
symmetric at minimum. The value should be manipulated either inside or
outside the locked area.Fortunately, it seems that the original function is gone and we could
simply remove the state variable.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1480412276-16690-2-git-send-email-pmladek@suse.com

We've got a delay loop waiting for secondary CPUs. That loop uses
loops_per_jiffy. However, loops_per_jiffy doesn't actually mean how
many tight loops make up a jiffy on all architectures. It is quite
common to see things like this in the boot log:Calibrating delay loop (skipped), value calculated using timer
frequency.. 48.00 BogoMIPS (lpj=24000)In my case I was seeing lots of cases where other CPUs timed out
entering the debugger only to print their stack crawls shortly after the
kdb> prompt was written.Elsewhere in kgdb we already use udelay(), so that should be safe enough
to use to implement our timeout. We'll delay 1 ms for 1000 times, which
should give us a full second of delay (just like the old code wanted)
but allow us to notice that we're done every 1 ms.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: simplifications, per Daniel]

Commit 4bcc595ccd80 ("printk: reinstate KERN_CONT for printing
continuation lines") allows to define more message headers for a single
message. The motivation is that continuous lines might get mixed.
Therefore it make sense to define the right log level for every piece of
a cont line.This patch introduces printk_skip_headers() that will skip all headers
and uses it in the kdb code instead of printk_skip_level().This approach helps to fix other printk_skip_level() users
independently.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1478695291-12169-3-git-send-email-pmladek@suse.com

It may be useful to debug writes to the readonly sections of memory,
so provide a cmdline "rodata=off" to allow for this. This can be
expanded in the future to support "log" and "write" modes, but that
will need to be architecture-specific.This also makes KDB software breakpoints more usable, as read-only
mappings can now be disabled on any kernel.Suggested-by: H. Peter Anvin

On non-developer devices, kgdb prevents the device from rebooting
after a panic.Incase of panics and exceptions, to allow the device to reboot, prevent
entering debug mode to avoid getting stuck waiting for the user to
interact with debugger.To avoid entering the debugger on panic/exception without any extra
configuration, panic_timeout is being used which can be set via
/proc/sys/kernel/panic at run time and CONFIG_PANIC_TIMEOUT sets the
default value.Setting panic_timeout indicates that the user requested machine to
perform unattended reboot after panic. We dont want to get stuck waiting
for the user input incase of panic.Cc: Andrew Morton

Currently kdb allows the output of comamnds to be filtered using the
| grep feature. This is useful but does not permit the output emitted
shortly after a string match to be examined without wading through the
entire unfiltered output of the command. Such a feature is particularly
useful to navigate function traces because these traces often have a
useful trigger string *before* the point of interest.This patch reuses the existing filtering logic to introduce a simple
forward search to kdb that can be triggered from the more prompt.Signed-off-by: Daniel Thompson

Currently when the "| grep" feature is used to filter the output of a
command then the prompt is not displayed for the subsequent command.
Likewise any characters typed by the user are also not echoed to the
display. This rather disconcerting problem eventually corrects itself
when the user presses Enter and the kdb_grepping_flag is cleared as
kdb_parse() tries to make sense of whatever they typed.This patch resolves the problem by moving the clearing of this flag
from the middle of command processing to the beginning.Signed-off-by: Daniel Thompson

Issuing a stack dump feels ergonomically wrong when entering due to NMI.
Entering due to NMI is normally a reaction to a user request, either the
NMI button on a server or a "magic knock" on a UART. Therefore the
backtrace behaviour on entry due to NMI should be like SysRq-g (no stack
dump) rather than like oops.Note also that the stack dump does not offer any information that
cannot be trivial retrieved using the 'bt' command.Signed-off-by: Daniel Thompson

Currently when kdb traps printk messages then the raw log level prefix
(consisting of '\001' followed by a numeral) does not get stripped off
before the message is issued to the various I/O handlers supported by
kdb. This causes annoying visual noise as well as causing problems
grepping for ^. It is also a change of behaviour compared to normal usage
of printk() usage. For example -h ends up with different output to
that of kdb's "sr h".This patch addresses the problem by stripping log levels from messages
before they are issued to the I/O handlers. printk() which can also
act as an i/o handler in some cases is special cased; if the caller
provided a log level then the prefix will be preserved when sent to
printk().The addition of non-printable characters to the output of kdb commands is a
regression, albeit and extremely elderly one, introduced by commit
04d2c8c83d0e ("printk: convert the format for KERN_ to a 2 byte
pattern"). Note also that this patch does *not* restore the original
behaviour from v3.5. Instead it makes printk() from within a kdb command
display the message without any prefix (i.e. like printk() normally does).Signed-off-by: Daniel Thompson
