Davidlohr Bueso ece4ceaf2e kdb: Use newer api for tasklist scanning
This kills using the do_each_thread/while_each_thread combo to
iterate all threads and uses for_each_process_thread() instead,
maintaining semantics. while_each_thread() is ultimately racy
and deprecated;  although in this particular case there is no
concurrency so it doesn't matter. Still lets trivially get rid
of two more users.

Dmitry Safonov 9cb8f069de kernel: rename show_stack_loglvl() => show_stack()
Now the last users of show_stack() got converted to use an explicit log
level, show_stack_loglvl() can drop it's redundant suffix and become once
again well known show_stack().

Dmitry Safonov 77819daf24 kdb: don't play with console_loglevel
Print the stack trace with KERN_EMERG - it should be always visible.

Playing with console_loglevel is a bad idea as there may be more messages
printed than wanted.  Also the stack trace might be not printed at all if
printk() was deferred and console_loglevel was raised back before the
trace got flushed.

Unfortunately, after rebasing on commit 2277b49258 ("kdb: Fix stack
crawling on 'running' CPUs that aren't the master"), kdb_show_stack() uses
now kdb_dump_stack_on_cpu(), which for now won't be converted as it uses
dump_stack() instead of show_stack().

Convert for now the branch that uses show_stack() and remove
console_loglevel exercise from that case.

Douglas Anderson 9441d5f6b7 kdb: Gid rid of implicit setting of the current task / regs
Some (but not all?) of the kdb backtrace paths would cause the
kdb_current_task and kdb_current_regs to remain changed.  As discussed
in a review of a previous patch [1], this doesn't seem intuitive, so
let's fix that.

...but, it turns out that there's actually no longer any reason to set
the current task / current regs while backtracing anymore anyway.  As
of commit 2277b49258 ("kdb: Fix stack crawling on 'running' CPUs
that aren't the master") if we're backtracing on a task running on a
CPU we ask that CPU to do the backtrace itself.  Linux can do that
without anything fancy.  If we're doing backtrace on a sleeping task
we can also do that fine without updating globals.  So this patch
mostly just turns into deleting a bunch of code.

Daniel Thompson 4f27e824bf kdb: Remove special case logic from kdb_read()
kdb_read() contains special case logic to force it exit after reading
a single character. We can remove all the special case logic by directly
calling the function to read a single character instead. This also
allows us to tidy up the function prototype which, because it now matches
getchar(), we can also rename in order to make its role clearer.

This does involve some extra code to handle btaprompt properly but we
don't mind the new lines of code here because the old code had some
interesting problems (bad newline handling, treating unexpected
characters like <cr>).

Douglas Anderson 2277b49258 kdb: Fix stack crawling on 'running' CPUs that aren't the master
In kdb when you do 'btc' (back trace on CPU) it doesn't necessarily
give you the right info.  Specifically on many architectures
(including arm64, where I tested) you can't dump the stack of a
"running" process that isn't the process running on the current CPU.
This can be seen by this:

 echo SOFTLOCKUP > /sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/DIRECT
 # wait 2 seconds
 <sysrq>g

Here's what I see now on rk3399-gru-kevin.  I see the stack crawl for
the CPU that handled the sysrq but everything else just shows me stuck
in __switch_to() which is bogus:

The problem is that 'btc' eventually boils down to
  show_stack(task_struct, NULL);

...and show_stack() doesn't work for "running" CPUs because their
registers haven't been stashed.

On x86 things might work better (I haven't tested) because kdb has a
special case for x86 in kdb_show_stack() where it passes the stack
pointer to show_stack().  This wouldn't work on arm64 where the stack
crawling function seems needs the "fp" and "pc", not the "sp" which is
presumably why arm64's show_stack() function totally ignores the "sp"
parameter.

NOTE: we _can_ get a good stack dump for all the cpus if we manually
switch each one to the kdb master and do a back trace.  AKA:
  cpu 4
  bt
...will give the expected trace.  That's because now arm64's
dump_backtrace will now see that "tsk == current" and go through a
different path.

In this patch I fix the problems by catching a request to stack crawl
a task that's running on a CPU and then I ask that CPU to do the stack
crawl.

NOTE: this will (presumably) change what stack crawls are printed for
x86 machines.  Now kdb functions will show up in the stack crawl.
Presumably this is OK but if it's not we can go back and add a special
case for x86 again.

Douglas Anderson 55a7e23f46 kdb: Fix "btc <cpu>" crash if the CPU didn't round up
I noticed that when I did "btc <cpu>" and the CPU I passed in hadn't
rounded up that I'd crash.  I was going to copy the same fix from
commit 162bc7f5af ("kdb: Don't back trace on a cpu that didn't round
up") into the "not all the CPUs" case, but decided it'd be better to
clean things up a little bit.

This consolidates the two code paths.  It is _slightly_ wasteful in in
that the checks for "cpu" being too small or being offline isn't
really needed when we're iterating over all online CPUs, but that
really shouldn't hurt.  Better to have the same code path.

While at it, eliminate at least one slightly ugly (and totally
needless) recursive use of kdb_parse().

Douglas Anderson 162bc7f5af kdb: Don't back trace on a cpu that didn't round up
If you have a CPU that fails to round up and then run 'btc' you'll end
up crashing in kdb becaue we dereferenced NULL.  Let's add a check.
It's wise to also set the task to NULL when leaving the debugger so
that if we fail to round up on a later entry into the debugger we
won't backtrace a stale task.

Christophe Leroy dded2e1592 kdb: use correct pointer when 'btc' calls 'btt'
On a powerpc 8xx, 'btc' fails as follows:

Entering kdb (current=0x(ptrval), pid 282) due to Keyboard Entry
kdb> btc
btc: cpu status: Currently on cpu 0
Available cpus: 0
kdb_getarea: Bad address 0x0

when booting the kernel with 'debug_boot_weak_hash', it fails as well

Entering kdb (current=0xba99ad80, pid 284) due to Keyboard Entry
kdb> btc
btc: cpu status: Currently on cpu 0
Available cpus: 0
kdb_getarea: Bad address 0xba99ad80

On other platforms, Oopses have been observed too, see
https://github.com/linuxppc/linux/issues/139

This is due to btc calling 'btt' with %p pointer as an argument.

This patch replaces %p by %px to get the real pointer value as
expected by 'btt'

Borislav Petkov a8fe19ebfb kernel/printk: use symbolic defines for console loglevels
... instead of naked numbers.

Stuff in sysrq.c used to set it to 8 which is supposed to mean above
default level so set it to DEBUG instead as we're terminating/killing all
tasks and we want to be verbose there.

Also, correct the check in x86_64_start_kernel which should be >= as
we're clearly issuing the string there for all debug levels, not only
the magical 10.

Jason Wessel 5d5314d679 kdb: core for kgdb back end (1 of 2)
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.
