The kdb shell needs to enforce switching back to the original CPU that took the exception before restoring normal kernel execution. Resuming from a different CPU than what took the original exception will cause problems with spin locks that are freed from the a different processor than had taken the lock. The special logic in dbg_cpu_switch() can go away entirely with because the state of what cpus want to be masters or slaves will remain unchanged between entry and exit of the debug_core exception context.

For quite some time there have been problems with memory barriers and various races with NMI on multi processor systems using the kernel debugger. The algorithm for entering the kernel debug core and resuming kernel execution was racy and had several known edge case problems with attempting to debug something on a heavily loaded system using breakpoints that are hit repeatedly and quickly. The prior "locking" design entry worked as follows: * The atomic counter kgdb_active was used with atomic exchange in order to elect a master cpu out of all the cpus that may have taken a debug exception. * The master cpu increments all elements of passive_cpu_wait[]. * The master cpu issues the round up cpus message. * Each "slave cpu" that enters the debug core increments its own element in cpu_in_kgdb[]. * Each "slave cpu" spins on passive_cpu_wait[] until it becomes 0. * The master cpu debugs the system. The new scheme removes the two arrays of atomic counters and replaces them with 2 single counters. One counter is used to count the number of cpus waiting to become a master cpu (because one or more hit an exception). The second counter is use to indicate how many cpus have entered as slave cpus. The new entry logic works as follows: * One or more cpus enters via kgdb_handle_exception() and increments the masters_in_kgdb. Each cpu attempts to get the spin lock called dbg_master_lock. * The master cpu sets kgdb_active to the current cpu. * The master cpu takes the spinlock dbg_slave_lock. * The master cpu asks to round up all the other cpus. * Each slave cpu that is not already in kgdb_handle_exception() will enter and increment slaves_in_kgdb. Each slave will now spin try_locking on dbg_slave_lock. * The master cpu waits for the sum of masters_in_kgdb and slaves_in_kgdb to be equal to the sum of the online cpus. * The master cpu debugs the system. In the new design the kgdb_active can only be changed while holding dbg_master_lock. Stress testing has not turned up any further entry/exit races that existed in the prior locking design. The prior locking design suffered from atomic variables not being truly atomic (in the capacity as used by kgdb) along with memory barrier races.

The kernel debug_core invokes hw breakpoint install and removal via call backs. The architecture specific kgdb stubs only need to implement the call backs and not actually call the functions.

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>

Nothing should try to use kdb_commands directly as sometimes it is null. Instead, use the for_each_kdbcmd() iterator. This particular problem dates back to the initial kdb merge (2.6.35), but at that point nothing was dynamically unregistering commands from the kdb shell.

In order to allow kernel modules to dynamically add a command to the kdb shell the kdb_register, kdb_register_repeat, kdb_unregister, and kdb_printf need to be exported as GPL symbols. Any kernel module that adds a dynamic kdb shell function should only need to include linux/kdb.h. Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>

HW breakpoints events stopped working correctly with kgdb as a result of commit: 018cbffe (Merge commit 'v2.6.33' into perf/core), later commit: ba773f7c (x86,kgdb: Fix hw breakpoint regression) allowed breakpoints to propagate to the debugger core but did not completely address the original regression in functionality found in 2.6.35. When the DR_STEP flag is set in dr6 along with any of the DR_TRAP bits, the kgdb exception handler will enter once from the hw_breakpoint API call back and again from the die notifier for do_debug(), which causes the debugger to stop twice and also for the kgdb regression tests to fail running under kvm with: echo V2I1 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts To address the problem, the kgdb overflow handler needs to implement the same logic as the ptrace overflow handler call back with respect to updating the virtual copy of dr6. This will allow the kgdb do_debug() die notifier to properly handle the exception and the attached debugger, or kgdb test suite, will only receive a single notification.

ATA devices don't send D2H Reg FIS after an successful ATA PIO data-in command. The host is supposed to take the TF and E_Status of the preceding PIO Setup FIS. Update ahci_qc_fill_rtf() such that it takes TF + E_Status from PIO Setup FIS after a successful ATA PIO data-in command. Without this patch, result_tf for such a command is filled with the content of the previous D2H Reg FIS which belongs to a previous command, which can make the command incorrectly seen as failed. * Patch updated to grab the whole TF + E_Status from PIO Setup FIS instead of just E_Status as suggested by Robert Hancock.
