This series was originally part of the series ("serial: Finish kgdb on
qcom_geni; fix many lockdep splats w/ kgdb") but it made sense to
split it up.

It's believed that dropping into kgdb should be more robust once these
patches are applied.

Changes in v2:
- Removing irq flags separated from fixing lockdep splat.
- Don't use smp_call_function (Daniel).

  kgdb: Remove irq flags from roundup
  kgdb: Fix kgdb_roundup_cpus() for arches who used smp_call_function()

The function kgdb_roundup_cpus() was passed a parameter that was
documented as:

> the flags that will be used when restoring the interrupts. There is
> local_irq_save() call before kgdb_roundup_cpus().

Nobody used those flags.  Anyone who wanted to temporarily turn on
interrupts just did local_irq_enable() and local_irq_disable() without
looking at them.  So we can definitely remove the flags.

When I had lockdep turned on and dropped into kgdb I got a nice splat
on my system.  Specifically it hit:
  DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(current->hardirq_context)

Specifically it looked like this:
  sysrq: SysRq : DEBUG
  ------------[ cut here ]------------
  DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(current->hardirq_context)

Looking closely at it, it seems like a really bad idea to be calling
local_irq_enable() in kgdb_roundup_cpus().  If nothing else that seems
like it could violate spinlock semantics and cause a deadlock.

Instead, let's use a private csd alongside
smp_call_function_single_async() to round up the other CPUs.  Using
smp_call_function_single_async() doesn't require interrupts to be
enabled so we can remove the offending bit of code.

In order to avoid duplicating this across all the architectures that
use the default kgdb_roundup_cpus(), we'll add a "weak" implementation
to debug_core.c.

Looking at all the people who previously had copies of this code,
there were a few variants.  I've attempted to keep the variants
working like they used to.  Specifically:
* For arch/arc we passed NULL to kgdb_nmicallback() instead of
  get_irq_regs().
* For arch/mips there was a bit of extra code around
  kgdb_nmicallback()

You might want to mention that the only reason this isn't a deadlock
itself is because there is a timeout on waiting for the slaves to
check-in.

dbg_master_lock must be owned to call kgdb_roundup_cpus() so
the calls to smp_call_function_single_async() should never deadlock the
calling CPU unless there has been a previous failure to round up (e.g.
cores that cannot react to the round up signal).

When there is a failure to round up when we resume, there is a window (before
whatever locks that prevented the IPI being serviced are released) during which
the system will deadlock if the debugger is re entered.

I don't think there is any point trying to round up a CPU that did not
previously respond... it should still have an IPI pending. The deadlock
can be eliminated by getting the round up code to avoid CPUs whose csd->flags
are non-zero either by checking the flag in the kgdb code or adding something
like smp_trycall_function_single_async().

smp_call_function() automatically skips the calling CPU but this code does
not. It isn't a hard bug since kgdb_nmicallback() does a re-entrancy
check but I'd still prefer to skip the calling CPU.

As mentioned in another part of the thread we can also add robustness
by skipping a cpu where csd->flags != 0 (and adding an appropriately
large comment regarding why). Doing the check directly is abusing
internal knowledge that smp.c normally keeps to itself so an accessor
of some kind would be needed.

I can't help noticing this code is very similar to kgdb_roundup_cpus. Do
we really gain much from ahead-of-time initializing csd->func?

I'll incorporate this into the next version.

Sure.  I could add smp_async_func_finished() that just looked like:

int smp_async_func_finished(call_single_data_t *csd)
{
  return !(csd->flags & CSD_FLAG_LOCK);
}

My understanding of all the mutual exclusion / memory barrier concepts
employed by smp.c is pretty weak, though.  I'm hoping that it's safe
to just access the structure and check the bit directly.

...but do you think adding a generic accessor like this is better than
just keeping track of this in kgdb directly?  I could avoid the
accessor by adding a "rounding_up" member to "struct
debuggerinfo_struct" and doing something like this in roundup:

  /* If it didn't round up last time, don't try again */
  if (kgdb_info[cpu].rounding_up)
    continue

  kgdb_info[cpu].rounding_up = true
  smp_call_function_single_async(cpu, csd);

...and then in kgdb_nmicallback() I could just add:

  kgdb_info[cpu].rounding_up = false

In that case we're not adding a generic accessor to smp.c that most
people should never use.


I'll wait to hear back from you if you think the accessor is OK.  It
seems like it might be nice not to have to add something to smp.c just
for this one use case.

Oh!  Right...  At first I thought about just trying to put the "csd"
on the stack in kgdb_roundup_cpus() but then I realized that it needed
to persist past the end of kgdb_roundup_cpus().  ...and once I gave up
on the idea of putting it on the stack I decided I needed the init.

...but you're right that I don't really.  The only thing I'm initting
is the function pointer and it totally wouldn't hurt to just init that
over and over again every time kgdb_roundup_cpus() is called.

Whilst it is very tempting to make a sarcastic reply here ("Of course! What
kgdb really needs is yet another set of condition variables") I can't
because I actually agree with the proposal. I don't really want kgdb to
be too "special" especially when it doesn't need to be.

Only thing to note is that rounding_up will not be manipulated within a
common spin lock so you might have to invest a bit of thought to make
sure any races between the master and slave as the slave CPU clears the
flag are benign.

OK, so I've hopefully got all this thought through and posted v3.
I've put most of my thoughts in the patch descriptions themselves so
let's continue the discussion there.
