2020-01-31kdb: remove redundant assignment to pointer bpColin Ian King
The point bp is assigned a value that is never read, it is being re-assigned later to bp = &kdb_breakpoints[lowbp] in a for-loop. Remove the redundant assignment.

2018-01-25kdb: bl: don't use tab character in outputRandy Dunlap
The "bl" (list breakpoints) command prints a '\t' (tab) character in its output, but on a console (video device), that just prints some odd graphics character. Instead of printing a tab character, just align the output with spaces.

2016-02-22mm/init: Add 'rodata=off' boot cmdline parameter to disable read-only kernel ↵Kees Cook
mappings It may be useful to debug writes to the readonly sections of memory, so provide a cmdline "rodata=off" to allow for this. This can be expanded in the future to support "log" and "write" modes, but that will need to be architecture-specific. This also makes KDB software breakpoints more usable, as read-only mappings can now be disabled on any kernel. Suggested-by: H.

2014-11-11kdb: Categorize kdb commands (similar to SysRq categorization)Daniel Thompson
This patch introduces several new flags to collect kdb commands into groups (later allowing them to be optionally disabled). This follows similar prior art to enable/disable magic sysrq commands. The commands have been categorized as follows: Always on: go (w/o args), env, set, help, ?, cpu (w/o args), sr, dmesg, disable_nmi, defcmd, summary, grephelp Mem read: md, mdr, mdp, mds, ef, bt (with args), per_cpu Mem write: mm Reg read: rd Reg write: go (with args), rm Inspect: bt (w/o args), btp, bta, btc, btt, ps, pid, lsmod Flow ctrl: bp, bl, bph, bc, be, bd, ss Signal: kill Reboot: reboot All: cpu, kgdb, (and all of the above), nmi_console Signed-off-by: Daniel Thompson <daniel.thompson@linaro.org> Cc: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>
2014-11-11kdb: Remove KDB_REPEAT_NONE flagAnton Vorontsov
Since we now treat KDB_REPEAT_* as flags, there is no need to pass KDB_REPEAT_NONE. It's just the default behaviour when no flags are specified.

2014-11-11kdb: Rename kdb_register_repeat() to kdb_register_flags()Anton Vorontsov
We're about to add more options for commands behaviour, so let's give a more generic name to the low-level kdb command registration function. There are just various renames, no functional changes.

2014-10-14kdb: replace strnicmp with strncasecmpRasmus Villemoes
The kernel used to contain two functions for length-delimited, case-insensitive string comparison, strnicmp with correct semantics and a slightly buggy strncasecmp. The latter is the POSIX name, so strnicmp was renamed to strncasecmp, and strnicmp made into a wrapper for the new strncasecmp to avoid breaking existing users. To allow the compat wrapper strnicmp to be removed at some point in the future, and to avoid the extra indirection cost, do s/strnicmp/strncasecmp/g.

2012-03-22kdb: Add message about CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA on failure to install breakpointJason Wessel
On x86, if CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is set, one cannot set breakpoints via KDB. Apparently this is a well-known problem, as at least one distribution now ships with both KDB enabled and CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=y for security reasons. This patch adds an printk message to the breakpoint failure case, in order to provide suggestions about how to use the debugger.

2010-05-20kdb: core for kgdb back end (1 of 2)Jason Wessel
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.
