* KGDB: Notify GDB of machine halt, reboot or power offDavid Howells2011-03-181-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* debug_core,x86,blackfin: Clean up hw debug disable APIDongdong Deng2010-10-291-10/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* gdbstub: Implement gdbserial 'p' and 'P' packetsJason Wessel2010-08-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | The gdbserial 'p' and 'P' packets allow gdb to individually get and set registers instead of querying for all the available registers. Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>
* kgdb,kdb: individual register set and and get APIJason Wessel2010-08-051-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* x86, kgdb, init: Add early and late debug statesJason Wessel2010-05-201-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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(); CC: kgdb-bugreport@lists.sourceforge.net Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>
* kgdboc,kdb: Allow kdb to work on a non open console portJason Wessel2010-05-201-0/+3

* kgdb: Add the ability to schedule a breakpoint via a taskletJason Wessel2010-05-201-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>
* x86,kgdb: Add low level debug hookJason Wessel2010-05-201-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* kgdb: remove post_primary_code referencesJason Wessel2010-05-201-14/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>

* kgdb: core changes to support kdbJason Wessel2010-05-201-2/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Separate the gdbstub from the debug coreJason Wessel2010-05-201-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
