kgdb: depends on VT

2016-05-24T00:04:14Z

With VT=n, the kernel build fails with: drivers/built-in.o: In function `kgdboc_pre_exp_handler': kgdboc.c:(.text+0x7b5aa): undefined reference to `fg_console' kgdboc.c:(.text+0x7b5ce): undefined reference to `vc_cons' kgdboc.c:(.text+0x7b5d5): undefined reference to `vc_cons' kgdboc.o is built when KGDB_SERIAL_CONSOLE is set. So make KGDB_SERIAL_CONSOLE depend on HW_CONSOLE which includes those symbols.

kdb: Allow access to sensitive commands to be restricted by default

2014-11-11T15:31:52Z

Currently kiosk mode must be explicitly requested by the bootloader or userspace. It is convenient to be able to change the default value in a similar manner to CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ_DEFAULT_MASK. Signed-off-by: Daniel Thompson Cc: Jason Wessel Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel

Fixed dead ifdef block by adding missing Kconfig option.

2013-03-02T14:52:18Z

Added missing Kconfig option KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC which lead to a dead ifdef block in kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_main.c:73-75. The code using KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC was originally introduced in commit '5d5314d6795f3c1c0f415348ff8c51f7de042b77' by Jason Wessel. This patchset ("kdb: core for kgdb back end (1 of 2)") added platform independent part of kdb to the linux kernel. The Kernel option however, even though it had the same options and behaviour on all supported architectures, was part of the x86 and ia64 patchset of KDB and therefore not pulled into the mainline kernel tree. I actually took the originally written Kconfig by Keith Owens (2003-06-20 according to KDB changelog) and changed it to reflect the correct behaviour, as the KDUMP patchset is not part of the kernel and the expected functionality is missing from it.

tty: Added a CONFIG_TTY option to allow removal of TTY

2013-01-19T00:15:27Z

The option allows you to remove TTY and compile without errors. This saves space on systems that won't support TTY interfaces anyway. bloat-o-meter output is below. The bulk of this patch consists of Kconfig changes adding "depends on TTY" to various serial devices and similar drivers that require the TTY layer. Ideally, these dependencies would occur on a common intermediate symbol such as SERIO, but most drivers "select SERIO" rather than "depends on SERIO", and "select" does not respect dependencies. bloat-o-meter output comparing our previous minimal to new minimal by removing TTY. The list is filtered to not show removed entries with awk '$3 != "-"' as the list was very long. add/remove: 0/226 grow/shrink: 2/14 up/down: 6/-35356 (-35350) function old new delta chr_dev_init 166 170 +4 allow_signal 80 82 +2 static.__warned 143 142 -1 disallow_signal 63 62 -1 __set_special_pids 95 94 -1 unregister_console 126 121 -5 start_kernel 546 541 -5 register_console 593 588 -5 copy_from_user 45 40 -5 sys_setsid 128 120 -8 sys_vhangup 32 19 -13 do_exit 1543 1526 -17 bitmap_zero 60 40 -20 arch_local_irq_save 137 117 -20 release_task 674 652 -22 static.spin_unlock_irqrestore 308 260 -48 Signed-off-by: Joe Millenbach Reviewed-by: Jamey Sharp Reviewed-by: Josh Triplett Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mips,kgdb: kdb low level trap catch and stack trace

2010-05-21T02:04:26Z

The only way the debugger can handle a trap in inside rcu_lock, notify_die, or atomic_notifier_call_chain without a recursive fault is to have a low level "first opportunity handler" do_trap_or_bp() handler. Generally this will be something the vast majority of folks will not need, but for those who need it, it is added as a kernel .config option called KGDB_LOW_LEVEL_TRAP. Also added was a die notification for oops such that kdb can catch an oops for analysis. There appeared to be no obvious way to pass the struct pt_regs from the original exception back to the stack back tracer, so a special case was added to show_stack() for when kdb is active because you generally desire to generally look at the back trace of the original exception.

x86,kgdb: Add low level debug hook

The only way the debugger can handle a trap in inside rcu_lock, notify_die, or atomic_notifier_call_chain without a triple fault is to have a low level "first opportunity handler" in the int3 exception handler. Generally this will be something the vast majority of folks will not need, but for those who need it, it is added as a kernel .config option called KGDB_LOW_LEVEL_TRAP.
