[PATCH v5 0/4] AArch64: KGDB support

[vijay.kilari at gmail.com]

From: Vijaya Kumar K <Vijaya.Kumar@caviumnetworks.com>

Based on the step-handler and break-handler hooks patch from
Sandeepa (Patch 1), KGDB debugging support is added for EL1
debug in AArch64 mode. Any updates that come for Patch 1 from
Sandeepa will be rebased in next version

With second patch,register layout is updated to be inline with GDB tool.
Basic GDB connection, break point set/clear and info commands
are supported except step/next debugging

With third patch, step/next debugging support is added, where in
pc is updated to point to the instruction to be stepped and
stopped.

With fourth patch, the compile time breakpoint instruction
reordering is fixed by making kgbd_breakpoint() as noinline

Tested with ARM64 simulator

v5:
 - Updated BRK #imm16 value to 0x400 & 0x401 as per recommendation
   as per Marcus recommendataion
   http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/290801/
 - Rebased to 3.13 AArch64 kernel

v4:
 - Updated kgdb_single_step and kgdb_cpu_doing_single_step
   variables properly based on gdb state

v3:
 - Rebased to v4 version of Sandeepa Prabhu's patch (patch 1)
 - Made dynamic break point instruction encoding generic
 - Made ESR value encoding generic for dynamic and compile break point
 - Used memcpy and memset to copy register contents to gdb buffer
 - Fixed reordering of break point instruction by compiler with
   patch 3
 - Rebased against AAach64 upstream kernel

v2:
 - Moved break instruction encoding to debug-monitors.h file
 - Fixed endianess of compile break instruction encoding
 - Updated I/O buffer sizes
 - Updated register buffer size
 - Remove changes to debug_exception handler in entry.S for
 - ELR update and step debugging with update pc instead of ELR
 - Rebased against AArch64 upstream kernel

v1:
 - Initial patch-set

[PATCH v5 1/4] arm64: support single-step and breakpoint handler hooks

[vijay.kilari at gmail.com]

From: Sandeepa Prabhu <sandeepa.prabhu@linaro.org>

AArch64 Single Steping and Breakpoint debug exceptions will be
used by multiple debug framworks like kprobes & kgdb.

This patch implements the hooks for those frameworks to register
their own handlers for handling breakpoint and single step events.

Reworked the debug exception handler in entry.S: do_dbg to route
software breakpoint (BRK64) exception to do_debug_exception()

[PATCH v5 2/4] AArch64: KGDB: Add Basic KGDB support

[vijay.kilari at gmail.com]

From: Vijaya Kumar K <Vijaya.Kumar@caviumnetworks.com>

Add KGDB debug support for kernel debugging.
With this patch, basic KGDB debugging is possible.GDB register
layout is updated and GDB tool can establish connection with
target and can set/clear breakpoints.

[PATCH v5 3/4] AArch64: KGDB: Add step debugging support

[vijay.kilari at gmail.com]

From: Vijaya Kumar K <Vijaya.Kumar@caviumnetworks.com>

Add KGDB software step debugging support for EL1 debug
in AArch64 mode.

KGDB registers step debug handler with debug monitor.
On receiving 'step' command from GDB tool, target enables
software step debugging and step address is updated in ELR.

Software Step debugging is disabled when 'continue' command
is received

[PATCH v5 4/4] KGDB: make kgdb_breakpoint() as noinline

[vijay.kilari at gmail.com]

From: Vijaya Kumar K <Vijaya.Kumar@caviumnetworks.com>

The function kgdb_breakpoint() sets up break point at
compile time by calling arch_kgdb_breakpoint();
Though this call is surrounded by wmb() barrier,
the compile can still re-order the break point,
because this scheduling barrier is not a code motion
barrier in gcc.

Making kgdb_breakpoint() as noinline solves this problem
of code reording around break point instruction and also
avoids problem of being called as inline function from
other places

More details about discussion on this can be found here
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/269732

[PATCH v5 1/4] arm64: support single-step and breakpoint handler hooks

[Sandeepa Prabhu]

Hi Will,

If you have no further issues or objections with this patch, please
can you Ack this patch and consider for queuing it on upstream branch?
(Or should it merge along with kgdb series?)

Thanks,
Sandeepa

Hi,

I think that there's a slight problem with this on BE systems.

As pt_regs::pstate is a u64, we're only describing half of the field
here (to match GDB's expectations). While we happen to get the half
we're interested in on an LE system, on a BE system this will point at
the zeroed half.

So here we'll read zeroes rather than the bits we're interested in.

And here we'll write to bits which should be zero, not the bits we're
interested in.

On an unrelated note, is there a reason this isn't INT_MIN? This is
one-off.

Thanks,

I reviewed it here:

Yup, I think you're right. It's almost as if this hasn't been tested on a BE
system.

Given that a large proportion of this CC list *do* actually care about BE,
I'd like to see a tested-by from one of them before this gets merged. I'm
pretty sure GDB has a testsuite which might be of some use.

Having said that, our ptrace interface (built around regsets) treats pstate
as 64-bit, so we should do the same thing for kgdb and let GDB work out
which bits it's interested in.

So: make pstate 8 bytes and test/fix GDB to deal with that (like it should
do for userspace already).

I have tested with BE & LE. it works fine except displaying 'pstate' contents
in BE is wrong

If I change pstate offset as below, it works

#ifdef __AARCH64EB__
        { "pstate", 4, offsetof(struct pt_regs, pstate) + 4},
#else
        { "pstate", 4, offsetof(struct pt_regs, pstate)},
#endif

I am checking with tool chain guy to patch GDB to make pstate as 8 bytes.
After that, I will re-send the patch series

    Thanks to Andrew, GDB tool was patched here to interpret pstate as 8 bytes
