[PATCH v2 0/2] arm64: Fix the call trace when running kgdb test suite

[Kevin Hao]

Hi guys,

This fixes a call trace when running the kgdb test suite:
    # echo kgdbts=V1 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts

v2:
  - Add a patch to fix a typo in el1_dbg()
  - Use the method as suggested by Mark.

v1:

[PATCH 1/2] arm64: entry: Fix the typo in the comment of el1_dbg()

[Kevin Hao]

The function name should be local_daif_mask().

[PATCH 2/2] arm64: debug: Always update the IRQ tracing in debug_exception_enter()

[Kevin Hao]

When running the kgdb test suite, we get the following call trace:
  # echo kgdbts=V1 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts

The reason is that an IRQ is emitted when doing the single step debug,
but in the IRQ handler we would enable the debug exception before
updating the IRQ tracing flags. This will cause the debug exception
running in an context which the IRQ state and IRQ tracing flags are
mismatched. And the debug exception handler only update the IRQ tracing
flag to off when it thinks that the debug emit in a IRQ enabled context.
Then we would get the above call trace if any code like check_flags()
is called in the debug exception handler's path. We can't fix this issue
by just shuffling the enable_da_f in el1_irq. As indicated by
Mark Rutland, we also can run into the same issue when we set a
breakpoint in the middle of local_irq_disable(). So we should invoke the
trace_hardirqs_off() unconditionally in debug_exception_enter().
Also the reason why we conditionally invoke trace_hardirqs_off() seems
invalid since the redundant invoking of trace_hardirqs_off() would not
overwrite the last IRQ disabled address tracked by IRQ tracing.

How about patch 2 ("arm64: debug: Always update the IRQ tracing in debug_exception_enter())"?
It has been dangled in the mail list for almost 3 months without any explicitly objections.

Thanks,
Kevin

No, sorry, I really think it's the wrong direction of travel. Its adding
bodges to try to handle the fact that we disabled interrupts during the
step, and we really shouldn't be doing that (See my reply to Doug).

As I said, I would prefer some feedback on my proposal for dealing with
this properly [1] rather than more futile attempts to build on top of the
mess that we have at the moment.
