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.

No functional change.
This patch migrates the kdb 'lsmod' command support out of main
kdb code into its own file under kernel/module. In addition to
the above, a minor style warning i.e. missing a blank line after
declarations, was resolved too. The new file was added to
MAINTAINERS. Finally we remove linux/module.h as it is entirely
redundant.

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.

`kdb_msg_write` operates on a global `struct kgdb_io *` called
`dbg_io_ops`.
It's initialized in `debug_core.c` and checked throughout the debug
flow.
There's a null check in `kdb_msg_write` which triggers static analyzers
and gives the (almost entirely wrong) impression that it can be null.
Coverity scanner caught this as CID 1465042.
I have removed the unnecessary null check and eliminated false-positive
forward null dereference warning.

Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1]

either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes.

In kgdb context, calling console handlers aren't safe due to locks used
in those handlers which could in turn lead to a deadlock. Although, using
oops_in_progress increases the chance to bypass locks in most console
handlers but it might not be sufficient enough in case a console uses
more locks (VT/TTY is good example).
Currently when a driver provides both polling I/O and a console then kdb
will output using the console. We can increase robustness by using the
currently active polling I/O driver (which should be lockless) instead
of the corresponding console. For several common cases (e.g. an
embedded system with a single serial port that is used both for console
output and debugger I/O) this will result in no console handler being
used.
In order to achieve this we need to reverse the order of preference to
use dbg_io_ops (uses polling I/O mode) over console APIs. So we just
store "struct console" that represents debugger I/O in dbg_io_ops and
while emitting kdb messages, skip console that matches dbg_io_ops
console in order to avoid duplicate messages. After this change,
"is_console" param becomes redundant and hence removed.

While rounding up CPUs via NMIs, its possible that a rounded up CPU
maybe holding a console port lock leading to kgdb master CPU stuck in
a deadlock during invocation of console write operations. A similar
deadlock could also be possible while using synchronous breakpoints.
So in order to avoid such a deadlock, set oops_in_progress to encourage
the console drivers to disregard their internal spin locks: in the
current calling context the risk of deadlock is a bigger problem than
risks due to re-entering the console driver. We operate directly on
oops_in_progress rather than using bust_spinlocks() because the calls
bust_spinlocks() makes on exit are not appropriate for this calling
context.

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 if an escape timer is interrupted by a character from a
different input source then the new character is discarded and the
function returns '\e' (which will be discarded by the level above).
It is hard to see why this would ever be the desired behaviour.
Fix this to return the new character rather than the '\e'.
This is a bigger refactor than might be expected because the new
character needs to go through escape sequence detection.

kdb_read() contains special case logic to force it exit after reading
a single character. We can remove all the special case logic by directly
calling the function to read a single character instead. This also
allows us to tidy up the function prototype which, because it now matches
getchar(), we can also rename in order to make its role clearer.
This does involve some extra code to handle btaprompt properly but we
don't mind the new lines of code here because the old code had some
interesting problems (bad newline handling, treating unexpected
characters like <cr>).

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

kdb_read_get_key() has extremely complex break/continue control flow
managed by state variables and is very hard to review or modify. In
particular the way the escape sequence handling interacts with the
general control flow is hard to follow. Separate out the escape key
handling, without changing the control flow. This makes the main body of
the code easier to review.

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.

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.org
This 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 <SysRq>-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_<LEVEL> 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).

It is possible to miss data when using the kdb pager. The kdb pager
does not pay attention to the maximum column constraint of the screen
or serial terminal. This result is not incrementing the shown lines
correctly and the pager will print more lines that fit on the screen.
Obviously that is less than useful when using a VGA console where you
cannot scroll back.
The pager will now look at the kdb_buffer string to see how many
characters are printed. It might not be perfect considering you can
output ASCII that might move the cursor position, but it is a
substantially better approximation for viewing dmesg and trace logs.
This also means that the vt screen needs to set the kdb COLUMNS
variable.

Having the CPU in the more prompt is completely redundent vs the
standard kdb prompt, and it also wastes 32 bytes on the stack.

The Smatch tool warned that the change from commit b8adde8dd
(kdb: Avoid using dbg_io_ops until it is initialized) should
add another null check later in the kdb_printf().
It is worth noting that the second use of dbg_io_ops->is_console
is protected by the KDB_PAGER state variable which would only
get set when kdb is fully active and initialized. If we
ever encounter changes or defects in the KDB_PAGER state
we do not want to crash the kernel in a kdb_printf/printk.

This fixes a bug with setting a breakpoint during kdb initialization
(from kdb_cmds). Any call to kdb_printf() before the initialization
of the kgdboc serial console driver (which happens much later during
bootup than kdb_init), results in kernel panic due to the use of
dbg_io_ops before it is initialized.

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.

The DOING_KGDB2 was originally a state variable for one of the two
ways to automatically transition from kdb to kgdb. Purge all these
variables and just use one single state for the transition.

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.

In order to allow kernel modules to dynamically add a command to the
kdb shell the kdb_register, kdb_register_repeat, kdb_unregister, and
kdb_printf need to be exported as GPL symbols.
Any kernel module that adds a dynamic kdb shell function should only
need to include linux/kdb.h.

Certain calls from the kdb shell will call out to printk(), and any of
these calls should get vectored back to the kdb_printf() so that the
kdb pager and processing can be used, as well as to properly channel
I/O to the polled I/O devices.

One of the driving forces behind integrating another front end (kdb)
to the debug core is to allow front end commands to be accessible via
gdb's monitor command. It is true that you could write gdb macros to
get certain data, but you may want to just use gdb to access the
commands that are available in the kdb front end.
This patch implements the Rcmd gdb stub packet. In gdb you access
this with the "monitor" command. For instance you could type "monitor
help", "monitor lsmod" or "monitor ps A" etc...
There is no error checking or command restrictions on what you can and
cannot access at this point. Doing something like trying to set
breakpoints with the monitor command is going to cause nothing but
problems. Perhaps in the future only the commands that are actually
known to work with the gdb monitor command will be available.

This patch contains only the kdb core. Because the change set was
large, it was split. The next patch in the series includes the
instrumentation into the core kernel which are mainly helper functions
for kdb.
This work is directly derived from kdb v4.4 found at:
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/kdb/download/v4.4/
The kdb internals have been re-organized to make them mostly platform
independent and to connect everything to the debug core which is used by
gdbstub (which has long been known as kgdb).
The original version of kdb was 58,000 lines worth of changes to
support x86. From that implementation only the kdb shell, and basic
commands for memory access, runcontrol, lsmod, and dmesg where carried
forward.
This is a generic implementation which aims to cover all the current
architectures using the kgdb core: ppc, arm, x86, mips, sparc, sh and
blackfin. More archictectures can be added by implementing the
architecture specific kgdb functions.
