This whole pile of patches was motivated by me trying to get kgdb to
work properly on a platform where my serial driver ended up being hit
by the -EPROBE_DEFER virus (it wasn't practicing social distancing
from other drivers).  Specifically my serial driver's parent device
depended on a resource that wasn't available when its probe was first
called.  It returned -EPROBE_DEFER which meant that when "kgdboc"
tried to run its setup the serial driver wasn't there.  Unfortunately
"kgdboc" never tried again, so that meant that kgdb was disabled until
I manually enalbed it via sysfs.

While I could try to figure out how to get around the -EPROBE_DEFER
somehow, the above problems could happen to anyone and -EPROBE_DEFER
is generally considered something you just have to live with.  In any
case the current "kgdboc" setup is a bit of a race waiting to happen.
I _think_ I saw during early testing that even adding a msleep() in
the typical serial driver's probe() is enough to trigger similar
issues.

I decided that for the above race the best attitude to get kgdb to
register at boot was probably "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em".
Thus, "kgdboc" now jumps on the -EPROBE_DEFER bandwagon (now that my
driver uses it it's no longer a virus).  It does so a little awkwardly
because "kgdboc" hasn't normally had a "struct device" associated with
it, but it's really not _that_ ugly to make a platform device and
seems less ugly than alternatives.

Unfortunately now on my system the debugger is one of the last things
to register at boot.  That's OK for debugging problems that show up
significantly after boot, but isn't so hot for all the boot problems
that I end up debugging.  This motivated me to try to get something
working a little earlier.

My first attempt was to try to get the existing "ekgdboc" to work
earlier.  I tried that for a bit until I realized that it needed to
work at the tty layer and I couldn't find any serial drivers that
managed to register themselves to the tty layer super early at boot.
The only documented use of "ekgdboc" is "ekgdboc=kbd" and that's a bit
of a special snowflake.  Trying to get my serial driver and all its
dependencies to probe normally and register the tty driver super early
at boot seemed like a bad way to go.  In fact, all the complexity
needed to do something like this is why the system already has a
special concept of a "boot console" that lives only long enough to
transition to the normal console.

Leveraging the boot console seemed like a good way to go and that's
what this series does.  I found that consoles could have a read()
function, though I couldn't find anyone who implemented it.  I
implemented it for two serial drivers for the devices I had easy
access to, making the assumption that for boot consoles that we could
assume read() and write() were polling-compatible (seems sane I
think).

Now anyone who makes a small change to their serial driver can easily
enable early kgdb debugging!

The devices I had for testing were:
- arm32: rk3288-veyron-jerry
- arm64: rk3399-gru-kevin
- arm64: qcom-sc7180-trogdor (not mainline yet)

These are the devices I tested this series on.  I tried to test
various combinations of enabling/disabling various options and I
hopefully caught the corner cases, but I'd appreciate any extra
testing people can do.  Notably I didn't test on x86, but (I think) I
didn't touch much there so I shouldn't have broken anything.

When testing I found a few problems with actually dropping into the
debugger super early on arm and arm64 devices.  Patches in this series
should help with this.  For arm I just avoid dropping into the
debugger until a little later and for arm64 I actually enable
debugging super early.

I realize that bits of this series might feel a little hacky, though
I've tried to do things in the cleanest way I could without overly
interferring with the rest of the kernel.  If you hate the way I
solved a problem I would love it if you could provide guidance on how
you think I could solve the problem better.

This series (and my comments / documentation / commit messages) are
now long enough that my eyes glaze over when I try to read it all over
to double-check.  I've nontheless tried to double-check it, but I'm
pretty sure I did something stupid.  Thank you ahead of time for
pointing it out to me so I can fix it in v4.  If somehow I managed to
not do anything stupid (really?) then thank you for double-checking me
anyway.

NOTE: v3 of the patch series tacks on support for an extra serial
driver from Sumit Garg.  I've piled it onto the end of my series at
his request just to keep everything together.

Changes in v3:
- ("kgdb: Prevent infinite recursive entries to the debugger") new for v3.
- ("serial: amba-pl011: Support kgdboc_earlycon") pulled into my v3.
- Add deinit() to I/O ops to know a driver can be replaced.
- Added example in kgdb.rst
- Change boolean weak function to KConfig.
- Don't just neuter input, panic if earlycon vanishes.
- No extra param to kgdb_register_io_module().
- Removed unneeded sentence in kerenel-parameters doc.
- Renamed earlycon_kgdboc to kgdboc_earlycon.
- Simplify earlycon_kgdb deinit by using the deinit() function.
- Suggest people use kgdboc_earlycon instead of ekgdboc.
- { ; } ==> { }

Changes in v2:
- ("Revert "kgdboc: disable the console lock when in kgdb"") new for v2.
- ("kgdb: Disable WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED for all kgdb") new for v2.
- Assumes we have ("kgdb: Disable WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED for all kgdb")
- Fix kgdbts, tty/mips_ejtag_fdc, and usb/early/ehci-dbgp

In commit 81eaadcae81b ("kgdboc: disable the console lock when in
kgdb") we avoided the WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED() yell when we were in
kgdboc.  That still works fine, but it turns out that we get a similar
yell when using other I/O drivers.  One example is the "I/O driver"
for the kgdb test suite (kgdbts).  When I enabled that I again got the
same yells.

Even though "kgdbts" doesn't actually interact with the user over the
console, using it still causes kgdb to print to the consoles.  That
trips the same warning:
  con_is_visible+0x60/0x68
  con_scroll+0x110/0x1b8
  lf+0x4c/0xc8
  vt_console_print+0x1b8/0x348

  kgdb_compiled_brk_fn+0x34/0x44
  brk_handler+0x7c/0xb8
  do_debug_exception+0x1b4/0x228

Let's increment/decrement the "ignore_console_lock_warning" variable
all the time when we enter the debugger.

This will allow us to later revert commit 81eaadcae81b ("kgdboc:
disable the console lock when in kgdb").

If you build CONFIG_KGDB_SERIAL_CONSOLE into the kernel then you
should be able to have KGDB init itself at bootup by specifying the
"kgdboc=..." kernel command line parameter.  This has worked OK for me
for many years, but on a new device I switched to it stopped working.

The problem is that on this new device the serial driver gets its
probe deferred.  Now when kgdb initializes it can't find the tty
driver and when it gives up it never tries again.

We could try to find ways to move up the initialization of the serial
driver and such a thing might be worthwhile, but it's nice to be
robust against serial drivers that load late.  We could move kgdb to
init itself later but that penalizes our ability to debug early boot
code on systems where the driver inits early.  We could roll our own
system of detecting when new tty drivers get loaded and then use that
to figure out when kgdb can init, but that's ugly.

Instead, let's jump on the -EPROBE_DEFER bandwagon.  We'll create a
singleton instance of a "kgdboc" platform device.  If we can't find
our tty device when the singleton "kgdboc" probes we'll return
-EPROBE_DEFER which means that the system will call us back later to
try again when the tty device might be there.

We won't fully transition all of the kgdboc to a platform device
because early kgdb initialization (via the "ekgdboc" kernel command
line parameter) still runs before the platform device has been
created.  The kgdb platform device is merely used as a convenient way
to hook into the system's normal probe deferral mechanisms.

As part of this, we'll ever-so-slightly change how the "kgdboc=..."
kernel command line parameter works.  Previously if you booted up and
kgdb couldn't find the tty driver then later reading
'/sys/module/kgdboc/parameters/kgdboc' would return a blank string.
Now kgdb will keep track of the string that came as part of the
command line and give it back to you.  It's expected that this should
be an OK change.

Using kgdb requires at least some level of architecture-level
initialization.  If nothing else, it relies on the architecture to
pass breakpoints / crashes onto kgdb.

On some architectures this all works super early, specifically it
starts working at some point in time before Linux parses
early_params's.  On other architectures it doesn't.  A survey of a few
platforms:

a) x86: Presumably it all works early since "ekgdboc" is documented to
   work here.
b) arm64: Catching crashes works; with a simple patch breakpoints can
   also be made to work.
c) arm: Nothing in kgdb works until
   paging_init() -> devicemaps_init() -> early_trap_init()

Let's be conservative and, by default, process "kgdbwait" (which tells
the kernel to drop into the debugger ASAP at boot) a bit later at
dbg_late_init() time.  If an architecture has tested it and wants to
re-enable super early debugging, they can select the
ARCH_HAS_EARLY_DEBUG KConfig option.  We'll do this for x86 to start.
It should be noted that dbg_late_init() is still called quite early in
the system.

Note that this patch doesn't affect when kgdb runs its init.  If kgdb
is set to initialize early it will still initialize when parsing
early_param's.  This patch _only_ inhibits the initial breakpoint from
"kgdbwait".  This means:

* Without any extra patches arm64 platforms will at least catch
  crashes after kgdb inits.
* arm platforms will catch crashes (and could handle a hardcoded
  kgdb_breakpoint()) any time after early_trap_init() runs, even
  before dbg_late_init().

In order to make early kgdb work properly we need early_brk64() to be
able to call into it.  This is as easy as adding a call into
call_break_hook() just like we do later in the normal brk_handler().

Once we do this we can let kgdb know that it can break into the
debugger a little earlier (specifically when parsing early_param's).

NOTE: without this patch it turns out that arm64 can't do breakpoints
even at dbg_late_init(), so if we decide something about this patch is
wrong we might need to move dbg_late_init() a little later.

If we detect that we recursively entered the debugger we should hack
our I/O ops to NULL so that the panic() in the next line won't
actually cause another recursion into the debugger.  The first line of
kgdb_panic() will check this and return.

We want to enable kgdb to debug the early parts of the kernel.
Unfortunately kgdb normally is a client of the tty API in the kernel
and serial drivers don't register to the tty layer until fairly late
in the boot process.

Serial drivers do, however, commonly register a boot console.  Let's
enable the kgdboc driver to work with boot consoles to provide early
debugging.

This change co-opts the existing read() function pointer that's part
of "struct console".  It's assumed that if a boot console (with the
flag CON_BOOT) has implemented read() that both the read() and write()
function are polling functions.  That means they work without
interrupts and read() will return immediately (with 0 bytes read) if
there's nothing to read.  This should be a safe assumption since it
appears that no current boot consoles implement read() right now and
there seems no reason to do so unless they wanted to support
"kgdboc_earlycon".

The console API isn't really intended to have clients work with it
like we're doing.  Specifically there doesn't appear to be any way for
clients to be notified about a boot console being unregistered.  We'll
work around this by checking that our console is still valid before
using it.  We'll also try to transition off of the boot console and
onto the "tty" API as quickly as possible.

The normal/expected way to make all this work is to use
"kgdboc_earlycon" and "kgdboc" together.  You should point them both
to the same physical serial connection.  At boot time, as the system
transitions from the boot console to the normal console, kgdb will
switch over.  If you don't use things in the normal/expected way it's
a bit of a buyer-beware situation.  Things thought about:

- If you specify only "kgdboc_earlycon" but not "kgdboc" and the boot
  console vanishes at a weird time we'll panic if someone tries to
  drop into kgdb.
- If you use "keep_bootcon" (which is already a bit of a buyer-beware
  option) and specify "kgdboc_earlycon" but not "kgdboc" we'll keep
  trying to use your boot console for kgdb.
- If your "kgdboc_earlycon" and "kgdboc" devices are not the same
  device things should work OK, but it'll be your job to switch over
  which device you're monitoring (including figuring out how to switch
  over gdb in-flight if you're using it).

When trying to enable "kgdboc_earlycon" it should be noted that the
names that are registered through the boot console layer and the tty
layer are not the same for the same port.  For example when debugging
on one board I'd need to pass "kgdboc_earlycon=qcom_geni
kgdboc=ttyMSM0" to enable things properly.  Since digging up the boot
console name is a pain and there will rarely be more than one boot
console enabled, you can provide the "kgdboc_earlycon" parameter
without specifying the name of the boot console.  In this case we'll
just pick the first boot that implements read() that we find.

This new "kgdboc_earlycon" parameter should be contrasted to the
existing "ekgdboc" parameter.  While both provide a way to debug very
early, the usage and mechanisms are quite different.  Specifically
"kgdboc_earlycon" is meant to be used in tandem with "kgdboc" and
there is a transition from one to the other.  The "ekgdboc" parameter,
on the other hand, replaces the "kgdboc" parameter.  It runs the same
logic as the "kgdboc" parameter but just relies on your TTY driver
being present super early.  The only known usage of the old "ekgdboc"
parameter is documented as "ekgdboc=kbd earlyprintk=vga".  It should
be noted that "kbd" has special treatment allowing it to init early as
a tty device.

I have kept Greg's Reviewed-by and Sumit's Tested-by tags on this
commit despite changes that aren't totally trivial.  Please yell if
you disagree with this.  Reasons:
- Greg's Reviewed-by seemed more an overall acknowledgment that the
  series wasn't totally insane rather than a detailed review.  I don't
  think the changes from v2 to v3 change that.
- Sumit's Tested-by seemed useful as confirmation that someone else
  made this work on a machine that wasn't mine.  I don't believe that
  the changes from v2 to v3 should affect anything here.

Changes in v3:
- Add deinit() to I/O ops to know a driver can be replaced.
- Don't just neuter input, panic if earlycon vanishes.
- No extra param to kgdb_register_io_module().
- Renamed earlycon_kgdboc to kgdboc_earlycon.
- Simplify earlycon_kgdb deinit by using the deinit() function.

Changes in v2:
- Assumes we have ("kgdb: Disable WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED for all kgdb")
- Fix kgdbts, tty/mips_ejtag_fdc, and usb/early/ehci-dbgp

The recent patch ("kgdboc: Add kgdboc_earlycon to support early kgdb
using boot consoles") adds a new kernel command line parameter.
Document it.

Note that the patch adding the feature does some comparing/contrasting
of "kgdboc_earlycon" vs. the existing "ekgdboc".  See that patch for
more details, but briefly "ekgdboc" can be used _instead_ of "kgdboc"
and just makes "kgdboc" do its normal initialization early (only works
if your tty driver is already ready).  The new "kgdboc_earlycon" works
in combination with "kgdboc" and is backed by boot consoles.

Changes in v3:
- Added example in kgdb.rst
- Removed unneeded sentence in kerenel-parameters doc.
- Renamed earlycon_kgdboc to kgdboc_earlycon.
- Suggest people use kgdboc_earlycon instead of ekgdboc.

+Kernel parameter: ``kgdboc_earlycon``
+-------------------------------------
+
+If you specify the kernel parameter ``kgdboc_earlycon`` and your serial
+driver registers a boot console that supports polling (doesn't need
+interrupts and implements a nonblocking read() function) kgdb will attempt
+to work using the boot console until it can transition to the regular
+tty driver specified by the ``kgdboc`` parameter.
+
+Normally there is only one boot console (especially that implements the
+read() function) so just adding ``kgdboc_earlycon`` on its own is
+sufficient to make this work. If you have more than one boot console you
+can add the boot console's name to differentiate. Note that names that
+are registered through the boot console layer and the tty layer are not
+the same for the same port.
+
+For instance, on one board to be explicit you might do::
+
+   kgdboc_earlycon=qcom_geni kgdboc=ttyMSM0
+
+If the only boot console on the device was "qcom_geni", you could simplify::
+
+   kgdboc_earlycon kgdboc=ttyMSM0

Implement the read() function in the early console driver.  With
recent kgdb patches this allows you to use kgdb to debug fairly early
into the system boot.

We only bother implementing this if polling is enabled since kgdb
can't be enabled without that.

It looks like this patch is triggering some warnings from the existing
defconfigs (both x86 and arm64). It looks like this:

---
wychelm$ make defconfig
  GEN     Makefile
*** Default configuration is based on 'x86_64_defconfig'

Ah, thanks!  I hadn't noticed those.  I think it'd be easy to just
change the relevant patches to just "select ARCH_HAS_EARLY_DEBUG if
KGDB".  If you agree that's a good fix and are willing, I'd be happy
if you just added it to the relevant patches when applying.  If not, I
can post a v4.

As mentioned in other threads. If we are changing the way we manage the
lifetime of the consoles I think it would be good to squash that change
down and simplify some of these cases.

Isn't this always set for this file (see Makefile)?

I think all the instances of this check (and the diligent
#else clauses are redundant).

I know that causes no trouble for the current deinit() method does but 
I'd be more comfortable if the core printed this before calling deinit()?

Happy with the approach to fix this.

Given the follow on discussion from the end of last week I suspect there
probably needs to be a v4 anyway so perhaps the last question is
applying a fix up is moot at this point?

I think this just means we're not running debug_traps_init() early enough,
and actually the KASAN early handler is unnecessary too.

If we call debug_traps_init() directly from setup_arch() and drop the
arch_initcall(), can we then drop early_brk64 entirely?

It seems to work in my testing.  ...but the worry I have is the
comment right before trap_init().  It says:

/* This registration must happen early, before debug_traps_init(). */

By moving debug_traps_init() early we're violating that comment.  Do I
just remove that comment, or was there a good reason for it?  ...or am
I reading it wrong and I should have read it as if it said:

/* NOTE: this registration happens early, before debug_traps_init(). */

...then removing it is fine.  Maybe that's right?

I coded this up and put it on the Chrome OS gerrit at
<https://crrev.com/c/2195061>.  I'm happy to post this on the list as
a loner patch to replace this one or spin the whole series depending
on what people want.

I /think/ the reason for this is because debug_traps_init() replaces the
BRK vector, so if that runs before the break hooks have been registered
for e.g. BUG() then BUG() won't work during that window. Hmm, so dropping
early_brk64 is problematic after all. Damn.

Is trap_init() early enough for you? If so, we could call debug_traps_init()
from traps_init() after registering the break hooks.

"Early enough" is a subjective term, of course.  The earlier we can
init, the earlier we can drop into the debugger.  ...but, of course,
everyone thinks their feature is the most important and should be
first, so let's see...

Certainly if we waited until trap_init() it wouldn't be early enough
to set "ARCH_HAS_EARLY_DEBUG".  Setting that means that debugging is
ready when early params are parsed and those happen at the start of
setup_arch().  The call to trap_init() happens a bit later.

If we decide that we just don't care about getting
"ARCH_HAS_EARLY_DEBUG" to work then the earliest we'll be able to
break into the debugger (via kgdbwait) is dbg_late_init().  That
_does_ happen after trap_init() so your solution would work.

As a person who spends most of his time in driver land, it wouldn't be
the end of the world to wait for dbg_late_init().  That's still much
earlier than most code I'd ever debug.  ...and, bonus points is that
if we hit a crash any time after earlyparams we _will_ still drop into
the debugger.  It's only breakpoints that won't be available until
dbg_late_init().


tl;dr:

* If we care about "kgdbwait" and breakpoints working as early as
possible then we need my patch.

* If we are OK w/ a slightly later "kgdbwait" then I think we can move
debug_traps_init() to trap_init() and get rid of the early version.


Please let me know which way you'd like to proceed.

Let's go with the trap_init() approach for now, and we can revisit it later
if somebody has a compelling reason to initialise things earlier. However,
I don't think you can remove early_brk64(), as it's needed for BUG() to
work correctly.
