* kgdb,powerpc: Replace hardcoded offset by BREAK_INSTR_SIZEMichal Simek2010-08-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | kgdb_handle_breakpoint checks the first arch_kgdb_breakpoint which is not known by gdb that's why is necessary jump over it. The jump lenght is equal to BREAK_INSTR_SIZE that's why is cleaner to use defined macro instead of hardcoded non-described offset.

* powerpc,kgdb: Introduce low level trap catchingJason Wessel2010-05-201-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The only way the debugger can handle a trap in inside rcu_lock, notify_die, or atomic_notifier_call_chain without a recursive fault is to allow the kernel debugger to handle the exception first in program_check_exception(). The other change here is to make sure that kgdb_handle_exception() is called with correct parameters when catching an oops, because kdb needs to know if the entry was an oops, single step, or breakpoint exception.

* 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.

* powerpc/booke: Introduce new CONFIG options for advanced debug registersDave Kleikamp2010-02-171-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | powerpc/booke: Introduce new CONFIG options for advanced debug registers From: Dave Kleikamp <shaggy@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Introduce new config options to simplify the ifdefs pertaining to the advanced debug registers for booke and 40x processors: CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_REGS - boolean: true for dac-based processors CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_IACS - number of IAC registers CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_DACS - number of DAC registers CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_DVCS - number of DVC registers CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_DAC_RANGE - DAC ranges supported Beginning conservatively, since I only have the facilities to test 440 hardware. I believe all 40x and booke platforms support at least 2 IAC and 2 DAC registers. For 440, 4 IAC and 2 DVC registers are enabled, as well as the DAC ranges.

* kgdb, x86, arm, mips, powerpc: ignore user space single steppingJason Wessel2008-09-261-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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, powerpc: arch specific powerpc kgdb supportJason Wessel2008-07-231-0/+410
This patch removes the old kgdb reminants from ARCH=powerpc and implements the new style arch specific stub for the common kgdb core interface. It is possible to have xmon and kgdb in the same kernel, but you cannot use both at the same time because there is only one set of debug hooks. The arch specific kgdb implementation saves the previous state of the debug hooks and restores them if you unconfigure the kgdb I/O driver. Kgdb should have no impact on a kernel that has no kgdb I/O driver configured. Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>
