This typo is quite common. Fix it and add it to the spelling file so that checkpatch catches it earlier.

2015-10-03ARM: 8428/1: kgdb: Fix registers on sleeping tasksDoug Anderson1-19/+12
Dumping registers from other sleeping tasks in KGDB was totally failing for me. All registers were reported as 0 in many cases. The code was using task_pt_regs(task) to try to get other thread registers. This doesn't appear to be the right place to look. From my tests, I saw non-zero values in this structure when we were looking at a kernel thread that had a userspace task associated with it, but it contained the register values from the userspace task. So even in the cases where registers weren't reported as 0 we were still not showing the right thing. Instead of using task_pt_regs(task) let's use task_thread_info(task). This is the same place that is referred to when doing a dump of all sleeping task stacks (kdb_show_stack() -> show_stack() -> dump_backtrace() -> unwind_backtrace() -> thread_saved_sp()). As further evidence that this is the right thing to do, you can find the following comment in "gdbstub.c" right before it calls sleeping_thread_to_gdb_regs(): Pull stuff saved during switch_to; nothing else is accessible (or even particularly relevant). This should be enough for a stack trace. ...and if you look at switch_to() it only saves r4-r11, sp and lr. Those are the same registers that I'm getting out of the task_thread_info(). With this change you can use "info thread" to see all tasks in the kernel and you can switch to other tasks and examine them in gdb.

2015-09-16ARM: 8425/1: kgdb: Don't try to stop the machine when setting breakpointsDoug Anderson1-3/+5
In (23a4e40 arm: kgdb: Handle read-only text / modules) we moved to using patch_text() to set breakpoints so that we could handle the case when we had CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA. That patch used patch_text(). Unfortunately, patch_text() assumes that we're not in atomic context when it runs since it needs to grab a mutex and also wait for other CPUs to stop (which it does with a completion). This would result in a stack crawl if you had CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP and tried to set a breakpoint in kgdb. The crawl looked something like: BUG: scheduling while atomic: swapper/0/0/0x00010007 CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 4.2.0-rc7-00133-geb63b34 #1073 Hardware name: Rockchip (Device Tree) (unwind_backtrace) from [<c00133d4>] (show_stack+0x20/0x24) (show_stack) from [<c05400e8>] (dump_stack+0x84/0xb8) (dump_stack) from [<c004913c>] (__schedule_bug+0x54/0x6c) (__schedule_bug) from [<c054065c>] (__schedule+0x80/0x668) (__schedule) from [<c0540cfc>] (schedule+0xb8/0xd4) (schedule) from [<c0543a3c>] (schedule_timeout+0x2c/0x234) (schedule_timeout) from [<c05417c0>] (wait_for_common+0xf4/0x188) (wait_for_common) from [<c0541874>] (wait_for_completion+0x20/0x24) (wait_for_completion) from [<c00a0104>] (__stop_cpus+0x58/0x70) (__stop_cpus) from [<c00a0580>] (stop_cpus+0x3c/0x54) (stop_cpus) from [<c00a06c4>] (__stop_machine+0xcc/0xe8) (__stop_machine) from [<c00a0714>] (stop_machine+0x34/0x44) (stop_machine) from [<c00173e8>] (patch_text+0x28/0x34) (patch_text) from [<c001733c>] (kgdb_arch_set_breakpoint+0x40/0x4c) (kgdb_arch_set_breakpoint) from [<c00a0d68>] (kgdb_validate_break_address+0x2c/0x60) (kgdb_validate_break_address) from [<c00a0e90>] (dbg_set_sw_break+0x1c/0xdc) (dbg_set_sw_break) from [<c00a2e88>] (gdb_serial_stub+0x9c4/0xba4) (gdb_serial_stub) from [<c00a11cc>] (kgdb_cpu_enter+0x1f8/0x60c) (kgdb_cpu_enter) from [<c00a18cc>] (kgdb_handle_exception+0x19c/0x1d0) (kgdb_handle_exception) from [<c0016f7c>] (kgdb_compiled_brk_fn+0x30/0x3c) (kgdb_compiled_brk_fn) from [<c00091a4>] (do_undefinstr+0x1a4/0x20c) (do_undefinstr) from [<c001400c>] (__und_svc_finish+0x0/0x34) It turns out that when we're in kgdb all the CPUs are stopped anyway so there's no reason we should be calling patch_text(). We can instead directly call __patch_text() which assumes that CPUs have already been stopped.

2015-01-09ARM: probes: move all probe code to dedicate directoryWang Nan1-2/+1
In discussion on LKML (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/11/28/158), Russell King suggests to move all probe related code to arch/arm/probes. This patch does the work. Due to dependency on 'arch/arm/kernel/patch.h', this patch also moves patch.h to 'arch/arm/include/asm/patch.h', and related '#include' directives are also midified to '#include <asm/patch.h>'.

2014-08-02ARM: 8124/1: don't enter kgdb when userspace executes a kgdb break instructionOmar Sandoval1-0/+4
The kgdb breakpoint hooks (kgdb_brk_fn and kgdb_compiled_brk_fn) should only be entered when a kgdb break instruction is executed from the kernel. Otherwise, if kgdb is enabled, a userspace program can cause the kernel to drop into the debugger by executing either KGDB_BREAKINST or KGDB_COMPILED_BREAK.

2010-05-20kgdb: core changes to support kdbJason Wessel1-0/+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.

2008-09-26kgdb, x86, arm, mips, powerpc: ignore user space single steppingJason Wessel1-2/+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>

Geoff Levand <geoffrey.levand@am.sony.com>, Nicolas Pitre, Manish Lachwani, and Jason Wessel have contributed various fixups here as well.
