7d92bda271 kgdb: don't use a notifier to enter kgdb at panic; call directly
Right now kgdb/kdb hooks up to debug panics by registering for the panic
notifier.  This works OK except that it means that kgdb/kdb gets called
_after_ the CPUs in the system are taken offline.  That means that if
anything important was happening on those CPUs (like something that might
have contributed to the panic) you can't debug them.

Specifically I ran into a case where I got a panic because a task was
"blocked for more than 120 seconds" which was detected on CPU 2.  I nicely
got shown stack traces in the kernel log for all CPUs including CPU 0,
which was running 'PID: 111 Comm: kworker/0:1H' and was in the middle of
__mmc_switch().

I then ended up at the kdb prompt where switched over to kgdb to try to
look at local variables of the process on CPU 0.  I found that I couldn't.
Digging more, I found that I had no info on any tasks running on CPUs
other than CPU 2 and that asking kdb for help showed me "Error: no saved
data for this cpu".  This was because all the CPUs were offline.

Let's move the entry of kdb/kgdb to a direct call from panic() and stop
using the generic notifier.  Putting a direct call in allows us to order
things more properly and it also doesn't seem like we're breaking any
abstractions by calling into the debugger from the panic function.

Daniel said:

: This patch changes the way kdump and kgdb interact with each other.
: However it would seem rather odd to have both tools simultaneously armed
: and, even if they were, the user still has the option to use panic_timeout
: to force a kdump to happen.  Thus I think the change of order is
: acceptable.

When I had lockdep turned on and dropped into kgdb I got a nice splat

  ---[ end trace adf21f830c46e638 ]---

Looking closely at it, it seems like a really bad idea to be calling
local_irq_enable() in kgdb_roundup_cpus().  If nothing else that seems
like it could violate spinlock semantics and cause a deadlock.

Instead, let's use a private csd alongside
smp_call_function_single_async() to round up the other CPUs.  Using
smp_call_function_single_async() doesn't require interrupts to be
enabled so we can remove the offending bit of code.

In order to avoid duplicating this across all the architectures that
use the default kgdb_roundup_cpus(), we'll add a "weak" implementation
to debug_core.c.

Looking at all the people who previously had copies of this code,
there were a few variants.  I've attempted to keep the variants
working like they used to.  Specifically:
* For arch/arc we passed NULL to kgdb_nmicallback() instead of
  get_irq_regs().
* For arch/mips there was a bit of extra code around
  kgdb_nmicallback()

NOTE: In this patch we will still get into trouble if we try to round
up a CPU that failed to round up before.  We'll try to round it up
again and potentially hang when we try to grab the csd lock.  That's
not new behavior but we'll still try to do better in a future patch.

9ef7fa507d kgdb: Remove irq flags from roundup
The function kgdb_roundup_cpus() was passed a parameter that was
documented as:

> the flags that will be used when restoring the interrupts. There is
> local_irq_save() call before kgdb_roundup_cpus().

Nobody used those flags.  Anyone who wanted to temporarily turn on
interrupts just did local_irq_enable() and local_irq_disable() without
looking at them.  So we can definitely remove the flags.

107bcc6d56 kgdb: Remove "weak" from kgdb_arch_pc() declaration
kernel/debug/debug_core.c provides a default kgdb_arch_pc() definition
explicitly marked "weak".  Several architectures provide their own
definitions intended to override the default, but the "weak" attribute on
the declaration applied to the arch definitions as well, so the linker
chose one based on link order (see 10629d711e ("PCI: Remove __weak
annotation from pcibios_get_phb_of_node decl")).

Remove the "weak" attribute from the declaration so we always prefer a
non-weak definition over the weak one, independent of link order.

8daaa5f826 kdb: Add support for external NMI handler to call KGDB/KDB
This patch adds a kgdb_nmicallin() interface that can be used by
external NMI handlers to call the KGDB/KDB handler.  The primary
need for this is for those types of NMI interrupts where all the
CPUs have already received the NMI signal.  Therefore no
send_IPI(NMI) is required, and in fact it will cause a 2nd
unhandled NMI to occur. This generates the "Dazed and Confuzed"
messages.

Since all the CPUs are getting the NMI at roughly the same time,
it's not guaranteed that the first CPU that hits the NMI handler
will manage to enter KGDB and set the dbg_master_lock before the
slaves start entering. The new argument "send_ready" was added
for KGDB to signal the NMI handler to release the slave CPUs for
entry into KGDB.

0c57dfcc6c tty/serial: Add kgdb_nmi driver
This special driver makes it possible to temporary use NMI debugger port
as a normal console by issuing 'nmi_console' command (assuming that the
port is attached to KGDB).

Unlike KDB's disable_nmi command, with this driver you are always able
to go back to the debugger using KGDB escape sequence ($3#33).  This is
because this console driver processes the input in NMI context, and thus
is able to intercept the magic sequence.

Note that since the console interprets input and uses polling
communication methods, for things like PPP it is still better to fully
detach debugger port from the KGDB NMI (i.e. disable_nmi), and use raw
console.

Usually, to enter the debugger one have to type the magic sequence, so
initially the kernel will print the following prompt on the NMI debugger
console:

	Type $3#33 to enter the debugger>

For convenience, there is a kgdb_fiq.knock kernel command line option,
when set to 0, this turns the special command to just a return key
press, so the kernel will be printing this:

	Hit <return> to enter the debugger>

This is more convenient for long debugging sessions, although it makes
nmi_console feature somewhat useless.

And for the cases when NMI connected to a dedicated button, the knocking
can be disabled altogether by setting kgdb_fiq.knock to -1.

5a14fead07 kernel/debug: Mask KGDB NMI upon entry
The new arch callback should manage NMIs that usually cause KGDB to
enter. That is, not all NMIs should be enabled/disabled, but only
those that issue kgdb_handle_exception().

We must mask it as serial-line interrupt can be used as an NMI, so
if the original KGDB-entry cause was say a breakpoint, then every
input to KDB console will cause KGDB to reenter, which we don't want.

3751d3e85c x86,kgdb: Fix DEBUG_RODATA limitation using text_poke()
There has long been a limitation using software breakpoints with a
kernel compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA going back to 2.6.26. For
this particular patch, it will apply cleanly and has been tested all
the way back to 2.6.36.

The kprobes code uses the text_poke() function which accommodates
writing a breakpoint into a read-only page.  The x86 kgdb code can
solve the problem similarly by overriding the default breakpoint
set/remove routines and using text_poke() directly.

The x86 kgdb code will first attempt to use the traditional
probe_kernel_write(), and next try using a the text_poke() function.
The break point install method is tracked such that the correct break
point removal routine will get called later on.

98b54aa1a2 kgdb,debug_core: pass the breakpoint struct instead of address and memory
There is extra state information that needs to be exposed in the
kgdb_bpt structure for tracking how a breakpoint was installed.  The
debug_core only uses the the probe_kernel_write() to install
breakpoints, but this is not enough for all the archs.  Some arch such
as x86 need to use text_poke() in order to install a breakpoint into a
read only page.

Passing the kgdb_bpt structure to kgdb_arch_set_breakpoint() and
kgdb_arch_remove_breakpoint() allows other archs to set the type
variable which indicates how the breakpoint was installed.

0b4b3827db x86, kgdb, init: Add early and late debug states
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();

dcc7871128 kgdb: core changes to support kdb
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.

53197fc495 Separate the gdbstub from the debug core
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.
