* x86, kgdb, init: Add early and late debug statesJason Wessel2010-05-201-0/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>
* kdb,debug_core: Allow the debug core to receive a panic notificationJason Wessel2010-05-201-0/+19
| | | | | | | | | | It is highly desirable to trap into kdb on panic. The debug core will attempt to register as the first in line for the panic notifier.

* printk,kdb: capture printk() when in kdb shellJason Wessel2010-05-204-4/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | Certain calls from the kdb shell will call out to printk(), and any of these calls should get vectored back to the kdb_printf() so that the kdb pager and processing can be used, as well as to properly channel I/O to the polled I/O devices.

* kgdb: Add the ability to schedule a breakpoint via a taskletJason Wessel2010-05-201-0/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Wessel2010-05-201-1/+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 Wessel2010-05-201-8/+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>
* kgdboc,keyboard: Keyboard driver for kdb with kgdbJason Wessel2010-05-202-0/+213
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds in the kdb PS/2 keyboard driver. This was mostly a direct port from the original kdb where I cleaned up the code against checkpatch.pl and added the glue to stitch it into kgdb. This patch also enables early kdb debug via kgdbwait and the keyboard. All the access to configure kdb using either a serial console or the keyboard is done via kgdboc. If you want to use only the keyboard and want to break in early you would add to your kernel command arguments: kgdboc=kbd kgdbwait If you wanted serial and or the keyboard access you could use: kgdboc=kbd,ttyS0 You can also configure kgdboc as a kernel module or at run time with the sysfs where you can activate and deactivate kgdb. Turn it on: echo kbd,ttyS0 > /sys/module/kgdboc/parameters/kgdboc Turn it off: echo "" > /sys/module/kgdboc/parameters/kgdboc Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com> Reviewed-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com>
* kgdb: gdb "monitor" -> kdb passthroughJason Wessel2010-05-205-6/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One of the driving forces behind integrating another front end (kdb) to the debug core is to allow front end commands to be accessible via gdb's monitor command. It is true that you could write gdb macros to get certain data, but you may want to just use gdb to access the commands that are available in the kdb front end. This patch implements the Rcmd gdb stub packet. In gdb you access this with the "monitor" command. For instance you could type "monitor help", "monitor lsmod" or "monitor ps A" etc... There is no error checking or command restrictions on what you can and cannot access at this point. Doing something like trying to set breakpoints with the monitor command is going to cause nothing but problems. Perhaps in the future only the commands that are actually known to work with the gdb monitor command will be available. Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>
* kgdb,8250,pl011: Return immediately from console pollJason Wessel2010-05-203-6/+43
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The design of the kdb shell requires that every device that can provide input to kdb have a polling routine that exits immediately if there is no character available. This is required in order to get the page scrolling mechanism working. Changing the kernel debugger I/O API to require all polling character routines to exit immediately if there is no data allows the kernel debugger to process multiple input channels. NO_POLL_CHAR will be the return code to the polling routine when ever there is no character available. CC: linux-serial@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>
* kgdb: core changes to support kdbJason Wessel2010-05-203-17/+150
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* kdb: core for kgdb back end (1 of 2)Jason Wessel2010-05-2011-0/+5854
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch contains only the kdb core. Because the change set was large, it was split. The next patch in the series includes the instrumentation into the core kernel which are mainly helper functions for kdb. This work is directly derived from kdb v4.4 found at: ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/kdb/download/v4.4/ The kdb internals have been re-organized to make them mostly platform independent and to connect everything to the debug core which is used by gdbstub (which has long been known as kgdb). The original version of kdb was 58,000 lines worth of changes to support x86. From that implementation only the kdb shell, and basic commands for memory access, runcontrol, lsmod, and dmesg where carried forward. This is a generic implementation which aims to cover all the current architectures using the kgdb core: ppc, arm, x86, mips, sparc, sh and blackfin. More archictectures can be added by implementing the architecture specific kgdb functions.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of keeping SysRq support inside of legacy keyboard driver split it out into a separate input handler (filter).

When cancel_work_sync(work) succeeds, we know that this work can't be queued or running, and since we own WORK_STRUCT_PENDING nobody can change the bits in work->data under us. This means we can also clear the "cwq" part along with _PENDING bit lockless before return, unless the work is queued nobody can assume get_wq_data() is stable even under cwq->lock. This change can speedup the subsequent cancel/flush requests, and as Dmitry pointed out this simplifies the usage of work_struct's which can be queued on different workqueues. Consider this pseudo code from the input subsystem: struct workqueue_struct *WQ; struct work_struct *WORK; for (;;) { WQ = create_workqueue(); ... if (condition()) queue_work(WQ, WORK); ... cancel_work_sync(WORK); destroy_workqueue(WQ); } If condition() returns T and then F, cancel_work_sync() will crash the kernel because WORK->data still points to the already destroyed workqueue. With this patch the code like above becomes correct. Suggested-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

Now, with the clocks_calc_mult_shift function, its much easier. However, not many clocksources have converted to using that function, and there is still the issue of the max interval length assumption being made by each clocksource driver independently. So this patch simplifies the registration process by having clocksources be registered with a hz/khz value and the registration function taking care of setting mult/shift. This should take most of the confusion out of writing a clocksource driver. Additionally it also keeps the shift size tradeoff (more accuracy vs longer possible nohz times) centralized so the timekeeping core can keep track of the assumptions being made.

This removes the need for the xtime_cache value, which always stored the time at the last interrupt, so this patch cleans that up removing the xtime_cache related code. This patch also addresses an issue with an earlier version of this change, where xtime_cache was normalizing xtime, which could in some cases be not valid (ie: tv_nsec == NSEC_PER_SEC). This is fixed by handling the edge case in update_wall_time().

Some system calls such as mq_timedsend() and mq_timedreceive(), however, require the use of the wall clock due to the definition of the system call. This patch provides the infrastructure to use schedule_hrtimeout() with a CLOCK_REALTIME timer.

Timer slack is important for power management; grouping timers reduces the number of wakeups which in turn reduces power consumption. This patch introduces timer slack to the legacy timers using the following pieces: * A slack field in the timer struct * An api (set_timer_slack) that callers can use to set explicit timer slack * A default slack of 0.4% of the requested delay for callers that do not set any explicit slack * Rounding code that is part of mod_timer() that tries to group timers around jiffies values every 'power of two' (so quick timers will group around every 2, but longer timers will group around every 4, 8, 16, 32 etc) Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: johnstul@us.ibm.com Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
