Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/xmon: really enable xmon when a breakpoint is set
Date: Mon, 21 May 2018 15:21:08 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180521132108.7938-1-msuchanek@suse.de> (raw)
When single-stepping kernel code from xmon without a debug hook enabled
the kernel crashes. This can happen when kernel starts with xmon on
crash disabled but xmon is entered using sysrq.
Commit e1368d0c9edb ("powerpc/xmon: Setup debugger hooks when first
break-point is set") adds force_enable_xmon function that prints
"xmon: Enabling debugger hooks" but does not enable them.
Add the call to xmon_init to install the debugger hooks in
force_enable_xmon and also call force_enable_xmon when single-stepping
in xmon.
Fixes: e1368d0c9edb ("powerpc/xmon: Setup debugger hooks when first
break-point is set")
