* kgdb,arm: fix register dumpRabin Vincent2010-10-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | DBG_MAX_REG_NUM incorrectly had the number of indices in the GDB regs array rather than the number of registers, leading to an oops when the "rd" command is used in KDB.

* arm,kgdb: Add ability to trap into debugger on notify_dieJason Wessel2010-08-051-0/+34

* kgdb: core changes to support kdbJason Wessel2010-05-201-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* ARM: 5989/1: ARM: KGDB: add support for SMP platformsWill Deacon2010-03-151-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | To support SMP platforms, KGDB requires the architecture backend to implement the kgdb_roundup_cpus function. This patch, taken against 2.6.33, implements the function for ARM based on the MIPS port.

* kgdb, x86, arm, mips, powerpc: ignore user space single steppingJason Wessel2008-09-261-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On the x86 arch, user space single step exceptions should be ignored if they occur in the kernel space, such as ptrace stepping through a system call. First check if it is kgdb that is executing a single step, then ensure it is not an accidental traversal into the user space, while in kgdb, any other time the TIF_SINGLESTEP is set, kgdb should ignore the exception. On x86, arm, mips and powerpc, the kgdb_contthread usage was inconsistent with the way single stepping is implemented in the kgdb core. The arch specific stub should always set the kgdb_cpu_doing_single_step correctly if it is single stepping. This allows kgdb to correctly process an instruction steps if ptrace happens to be requesting an instruction step over a system call. Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>
* kgdb: support for ARCH=armJason Wessel2008-07-231-0/+201
This patch adds the ARCH=arm specific a kgdb backend, originally written by Deepak Saxena <dsaxena@plexity.net> and George Davis <gdavis@mvista.com>. Geoff Levand <geoffrey.levand@am.sony.com>, Nicolas Pitre, Manish Lachwani, and Jason Wessel have contributed various fixups here as well. The KGDB patch makes one change to the core ARM architecture such that the traps are initialized early for use with the debugger or other subsystems.
