Subject: [git pull] kgdb-light -v10


this is kgdb-light, version -v10 (against Linus-latest), and can be 
pulled from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mingo/linux-2.6-kgdb.git

shortlog, diffstat and full patch can be found further below.

in -v10 i have depleted Andi Kleen's (known ;) pool of last-minute 
objections against kgdb. In order of seriosity:

> > +		machine_restart(NULL);
> 
> It's still likely to deadlock on MP I think

correct (just like SysRq-B can hang) - in -v10 i've fixed this by 
changing it to machine_emergency_restart().

it's a sensible check, it validates a remote-provided "tid" against the 
range we accept. (It's a bit superfluous as find_task_by_pid() is safe 
enough.)

Anyway, this point is moot because this check is gone in -v10.

yes, i thought about that too yesterday, but was unsure how the rest of 
the code would code with that. It's no big issue and i have no strong 
feelings either way.

I changed this in -v10 to map idle tasks to negative tids.

GDB wants to track threads, but on the Linux side each idle task has PID 
0, so GDB cannot track them. The shadow PID is this remapped space.

> [...] Seems like a weird concept.

GDB simply needs an ID it can work with - there's nothing weird about 
that.

> > +	/* Disable hardware debugging while we are in kgdb: */

as Roland explained it, the simplicity and of this code intentional.

Anyway, no strong feelings and it's now fixed in -v10.

That's wrong: in-source documentation is never useless. If it happens to 
meet DocBook style that's an added bonus. If the DocBook template is 
added later on that's double bonus.

no, not all architectures have it. This is a weak alias that is 
otherwise not linked into the kernel.

this code is just being a tad over-cautious.

The currently submitted code does not try to support user mode 
debugging. It might be a nice add-on later, if done cleanly and 
correctly enough. If you are interested we welcome patches from you!

yes, this means if the user has configured kcrash as well then that will 
have priority over kgdb. This is the intended behavior.

i disagree that a kernel debugger should necessarily be a kernel module. 
It might be nice at a future stage, but right now it would just 
introduce unnecessary complexity.

i went for correctness and simplicity first. If a system is hung, the 
debugging CPU might hang too at any time. A timeout on the other hand 
introduces the possibility of a 'dead' CPU just coming back to life 
after the 'timeout', corrupting debugger data. So for now the rule is 
very simple.

timeouts might be an optional "would be nice" feature for later on.

you are wrong, as procfs does not rely on it for a protocol stack. It 
relies on it mostly for user-space "this many bytes were processed" 
return values and those values are often wrong and user-space just 
handles it gratiously.

Anyway, the presence of a few special parsers that impact nothing else 
but kgdb is not even close to being a merge showstopper, it is something 
that can be consolidated later on. We've already got 7 instances of KGDB 
code in the upstream kernel:

  ./sparc/kernel/sparc-stub.c
  ./cris/arch-v32/kernel/kgdb.c
  ./cris/arch-v10/kernel/kgdb.c
  ./mips/kernel/gdb-stub.c
  ./frv/kernel/gdb-stub.c
  ./mn10300/kernel/gdb-stub.c
  ./ppc/kernel/ppc-stub.c

so obviously these parsers work in practice.
