debug_core: disable hw_breakpoints on all cores in kgdb_cpu_enter()
The slave cpus do not have the hw breakpoints disabled upon entry to the debug_core and as a result could cause unrecoverable recursive faults on badly placed breakpoints, or get out of sync with the arch specific hw breakpoint operations. This patch addresses the problem by invoking kgdb_disable_hw_debug() earlier in kgdb_enter_cpu for each cpu that enters the debug core. The hw breakpoint dis/enable flow should be: master_debug_cpu slave_debug_cpu \ / kgdb_cpu_enter | kgdb_disable_hw_debug --> uninstall pre-enabled hw_breakpoint | do add/rm dis/enable operates to hw_breakpoints on master_debug_cpu.. | correct_hw_break --> correct/install the enabled hw_breakpoint | leave_kgdb Signed-off-by: Dongdong Deng <dongdong.deng@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>
