2016-12-15kdb: call vkdb_printf() from vprintk_default() only when wantedPetr Mladek1-0/+1
kdb_trap_printk allows to pass normal printk() messages to kdb via vkdb_printk(). For example, it is used to get backtrace using the classic show_stack(), see kdb_show_stack(). vkdb_printf() tries to avoid a potential infinite loop by disabling the trap. But this approach is racy, for example: CPU1 CPU2 vkdb_printf() // assume that kdb_trap_printk == 0 saved_trap_printk = kdb_trap_printk; kdb_trap_printk = 0; kdb_show_stack() kdb_trap_printk++; Problem1: Now, a nested printk() on CPU0 calls vkdb_printf() even when it should have been disabled. It will not cause a deadlock but... // using the outdated saved value: 0 kdb_trap_printk = saved_trap_printk; kdb_trap_printk--; Problem2: Now, kdb_trap_printk == -1 and will stay like this. It means that all messages will get passed to kdb from now on. This patch removes the racy saved_trap_printk handling. Instead, the recursion is prevented by a check for the locked CPU. The solution is still kind of racy. A non-related printk(), from another process, might get trapped by vkdb_printf(). And the wanted printk() might not get trapped because kdb_printf_cpu is assigned. But this problem existed even with the original code. A proper solution would be to get_cpu() before setting kdb_trap_printk and trap messages only from this CPU. I am not sure if it is worth the effort, though. In fact, the race is very theoretical. When kdb is running any of the commands that use kdb_trap_printk there is a single active CPU and the other CPUs should be in a holding pen inside kgdb_cpu_enter(). The only time this is violated is when there is a timeout waiting for the other CPUs to report to the holding pen. Finally, note that the situation is a bit schizophrenic. vkdb_printf() explicitly allows recursion but only from KDB code that calls kdb_printf() directly. On the other hand, the generic printk() recursion is not allowed because it might cause an infinite loop. This is why we could not hide the decision inside vkdb_printf() easily.

2016-12-15kdb: remove unused kdb_event handlingPetr Mladek1-1/+0
kdb_event state variable is only set but never checked in the kernel code. http://www.spinics.net/lists/kdb/msg01733.html suggests that this variable affected WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED() in the original implementation. But this check never went upstream. The semantic is unclear and racy. The value is updated after the kdb_printf_lock is acquired and after it is released. It should be symmetric at minimum. The value should be manipulated either inside or outside the locked area. Fortunately, it seems that the original function is gone and we could simply remove the state variable.

2015-02-19kdb: Avoid printing KERN_ levels to consolesDaniel Thompson1-1/+7
Currently when kdb traps printk messages then the raw log level prefix (consisting of '\001' followed by a numeral) does not get stripped off before the message is issued to the various I/O handlers supported by kdb. This causes annoying visual noise as well as causing problems grepping for ^. It is also a change of behaviour compared to normal usage of printk() usage. For example <SysRq>-h ends up with different output to that of kdb's "sr h". This patch addresses the problem by stripping log levels from messages before they are issued to the I/O handlers. printk() which can also act as an i/o handler in some cases is special cased; if the caller provided a log level then the prefix will be preserved when sent to printk(). The addition of non-printable characters to the output of kdb commands is a regression, albeit and extremely elderly one, introduced by commit 04d2c8c83d0e ("printk: convert the format for KERN_<LEVEL> to a 2 byte pattern"). Note also that this patch does *not* restore the original behaviour from v3.5. Instead it makes printk() from within a kdb command display the message without any prefix (i.e. like printk() normally does).

2014-11-11kdb: Add enable mask for groups of commandsAnton Vorontsov1-0/+1
Currently all kdb commands are enabled whenever kdb is deployed. This makes it difficult to deploy kdb to help debug certain types of systems. Android phones provide one example; the FIQ debugger found on some Android devices has a deliberately weak set of commands to allow the debugger to enabled very late in the production cycle. Certain kiosk environments offer another interesting case where an engineer might wish to probe the system state using passive inspection commands without providing sufficient power for a passer by to root it. Without any restrictions, obtaining the root rights via KDB is a matter of a few commands, and works everywhere. For example, log in as a normal user: cbou:~$ id uid=1001(cbou) gid=1001(cbou) groups=1001(cbou) Now enter KDB (for example via sysrq): Entering kdb (current=0xffff8800065bc740, pid 920) due to Keyboard Entry kdb> ps 23 sleeping system daemon (state M) processes suppressed, use 'ps A' to see all. Task Addr Pid Parent [*] cpu State Thread Command 0xffff8800065bc740 920 919 1 0 R 0xffff8800065bca20 *bash 0xffff880007078000 1 0 0 0 S 0xffff8800070782e0 init [...snip...] 0xffff8800065be3c0 918 1 0 0 S 0xffff8800065be6a0 getty 0xffff8800065b9c80 919 1 0 0 S 0xffff8800065b9f60 login 0xffff8800065bc740 920 919 1 0 R 0xffff8800065bca20 *bash All we need is the offset of cred pointers. We can look up the offset in the distro's kernel source, but it is unnecessary. We can just start dumping init's task_struct, until we see the process name: kdb> md 0xffff880007078000 0xffff880007078000 0000000000000001 ffff88000703c000 ................ 0xffff880007078010 0040210000000002 0000000000000000 .....!@.........

Creds are just above it, so the offset is 0x02b0. Now we set up init's creds for our non-privileged shell: kdb> mm 0xffff8800065bc740+0x02b0 0xffff8800073e0580 0xffff8800065bc9f0 = 0xffff8800073e0580 kdb> mm 0xffff8800065bc740+0x02b8 0xffff8800073e0580 0xffff8800065bc9f8 = 0xffff8800073e0580 And thus gaining the root: kdb> go cbou:~$ id uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root) cbou:~$ bash root:~# p.s. No distro enables kdb by default (although, with a nice KDB-over-KMS feature availability, I would expect at least some would enable it), so it's not actually some kind of a major issue.

2013-10-03kdb: Add support for external NMI handler to call KGDB/KDBMike Travis1-0/+1
This patch adds a kgdb_nmicallin() interface that can be used by external NMI handlers to call the KGDB/KDB handler. The primary need for this is for those types of NMI interrupts where all the CPUs have already received the NMI signal. Therefore no send_IPI(NMI) is required, and in fact it will cause a 2nd unhandled NMI to occur. This generates the "Dazed and Confuzed" messages. Since all the CPUs are getting the NMI at roughly the same time, it's not guaranteed that the first CPU that hits the NMI handler will manage to enter KGDB and set the dbg_master_lock before the slaves start entering. The new argument "send_ready" was added for KGDB to signal the NMI handler to release the slave CPUs for entry into KGDB.

This is required in order to get the page scrolling mechanism working.

2010-05-21kdb: core for kgdb back end (1 of 2)Jason Wessel1-0/+113
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.
