kgdb: add HAS_IOPORT dependency

2024-04-26T04:07:05+00:00

In a future patch HAS_IOPORT=n will disable inb()/outb() and friends at compile time. We thus need to add HAS_IOPORT as dependency for those drivers using them.

vt: remove superfluous CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE

2024-01-28T03:03:51+00:00

The config HW_CONSOLE is always identical to the config VT and is not visible in the kernel's build menuconfig. So, CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE is redundant. Replace all references to CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE with CONFIG_VT and remove CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE.

parisc: Convert PDC console to an early console

2022-10-11T10:01:24+00:00

Rewrite the PDC console to become an early console. Beside the fact that now boot information is visible until another (text- or graphics) console takes over, this benefits as well machines with a yet-unsupported STI console and kgdb. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

kgdb: Honour the kprobe blocklist when setting breakpoints

2020-09-28T11:14:08+00:00

Currently kgdb has absolutely no safety rails in place to discourage or prevent a user from placing a breakpoint in dangerous places such as the debugger's own trap entry/exit and other places where it is not safe to take synchronous traps. Introduce a new config symbol KGDB_HONOUR_BLOCKLIST and modify the default implementation of kgdb_validate_break_address() so that we use the kprobe blocklist to prohibit instrumentation of critical functions if the config symbol is set. The config symbol dependencies are set to ensure that the blocklist will be enabled by default if we enable KGDB and are compiling for an architecture where we HAVE_KPROBES.

kgdb: enable arch to support XML packet.

2020-07-10T03:09:28+00:00

The XML packet could be supported by required architecture if the architecture defines CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_KGDB_QXFER_PKT and implement its own kgdb_arch_handle_qxfer_pkt(). Except for the kgdb_arch_handle_qxfer_pkt(), the architecture also needs to record the feature supported by gdb stub into the kgdb_arch_gdb_stub_feature, and these features will be reported to host gdb when gdb stub receives the qSupported packet.

kgdb: Delay "kgdbwait" to dbg_late_init() by default

2020-05-18T16:49:27+00:00

Using kgdb requires at least some level of architecture-level initialization. If nothing else, it relies on the architecture to pass breakpoints / crashes onto kgdb. On some architectures this all works super early, specifically it starts working at some point in time before Linux parses early_params's. On other architectures it doesn't. A survey of a few platforms: a) x86: Presumably it all works early since "ekgdboc" is documented to work here. b) arm64: Catching crashes works; with a simple patch breakpoints can also be made to work. c) arm: Nothing in kgdb works until paging_init() -> devicemaps_init() -> early_trap_init() Let's be conservative and, by default, process "kgdbwait" (which tells the kernel to drop into the debugger ASAP at boot) a bit later at dbg_late_init() time. If an architecture has tested it and wants to re-enable super early debugging, they can select the ARCH_HAS_EARLY_DEBUG KConfig option. We'll do this for x86 to start. It should be noted that dbg_late_init() is still called quite early in the system. Note that this patch doesn't affect when kgdb runs its init. If kgdb is set to initialize early it will still initialize when parsing early_param's. This patch _only_ inhibits the initial breakpoint from "kgdbwait". This means: * Without any extra patches arm64 platforms will at least catch crashes after kgdb inits. * arm platforms will catch crashes (and could handle a hardcoded kgdb_breakpoint()) any time after early_trap_init() runs, even before dbg_late_init().

kgdb: depends on VT

2016-05-24T00:04:14+00:00

With VT=n, the kernel build fails with: drivers/built-in.o: In function `kgdboc_pre_exp_handler': kgdboc.c:(.text+0x7b5aa): undefined reference to `fg_console' kgdboc.c:(.text+0x7b5ce): undefined reference to `vc_cons' kgdboc.c:(.text+0x7b5d5): undefined reference to `vc_cons' kgdboc.o is built when KGDB_SERIAL_CONSOLE is set. So make KGDB_SERIAL_CONSOLE depend on HW_CONSOLE which includes those symbols.
