From: Jason Wessel <[email protected]>
Subject: [PATCH] This is the core of the KGDB stub.

This patch provides all of the common code, documentation and basic
Kconfig changes, as well as the common hooks.  With out arch changes
this code does not actually do anything to the kernel.  The idea is
that each arch can add in a minimal set of hooks to make use of the
KGDB core.

The core contains the protocol handler to talk to a debugger client
such as gdb via the gdb serial protocol.  The core also contains the
needed hooks for an arch to be SMP and preempt safe.  The weak
definitions allow an arch to override a part of the core, if it the
arch impelmentation requires it.

+    <para>
+    kgdb is a source level debugger for linux kernel. It is used along
+    with gdb to debug a linux kernel. Kernel developers can debug a kernel
+    similar to application programs with the use of kgdb. It makes it
+    possible to place breakpoints in kernel code, step through the code
+    and observe variables.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+    Two machines are required for using kgdb. One of these machines is a
+    development machine and the other is a test machine. The machines are
+    typically connected through a serial line, a null-modem cable which
+    connects their serial ports.  It is also possible however, to use an
+    ethernet connection between the machines.  The kernel to be debugged
+    runs on the test machine. gdb runs on the development machine. The
+    serial line or ethernet connection is used by gdb to communicate to
+    the kernel being debugged.
+    </para>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter id="CompilingAKernel">
+    <title>Compiling a kernel</title>
+    <para>
+    To enable <symbol>CONFIG_KGDB</symbol>, look under the "Kernel debugging"
+    and then select "KGDB: kernel debugging with remote gdb".
+    </para>
+    <para>
+    The first choice for I/O is <symbol>CONFIG_KGDB_ONLY_MODULES</symbol>.
+    This means that you will only be able to use KGDB after loading a
+    kernel module that defines how you want to be able to talk with
+    KGDB.  There are two other choices (more on some architectures) that
+    can be enabled as modules later, if not picked here.
+    </para>
+    <para>The first of these is <symbol>CONFIG_KGDB_8250_NOMODULE</symbol>.
+    This has sub-options such as <symbol>CONFIG_KGDB_SIMPLE_SERIAL</symbol>
+    which toggles choosing the serial port by ttyS number or by specifying
+    a port and IRQ number.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+    The second of these choices on most systems for I/O is
+    <symbol>CONFIG_KGDBOE</symbol>. This requires that the machine to be
+    debugged has an ethernet card which supports the netpoll API, such as
+    the cards supported by <symbol>CONFIG_E100</symbol>.  There are no
+    sub-options for this, but a kernel command line option is required.
+    </para>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter id="BootingTheKernel">
+    <title>Booting the kernel</title>
+    <para>
+    The Kernel command line option <constant>kgdbwait</constant> makes kgdb
+    wait for gdb connection during booting of a kernel.  If the
+    <symbol>CONFIG_KGDB_8250</symbol> driver is used (or if applicable,
+    another serial driver) this breakpoint will happen very early on, before
+    console output.  If you wish to change serial port information and you
+    have enabled both <symbol>CONFIG_KGDB_8250</symbol> and
+    <symbol>CONFIG_KGDB_SIMPLE_SERIAL</symbol> then you must pass the option
+    <constant>kgdb8250=&lt;io or mmio&gt;,&lt;address&gt;,&lt;baud
+    rate&gt;,&lt;irq&gt;</constant> before <constant>kgdbwait</constant>.
+    The values <constant>io</constant> or <constant>mmio</constant> refer to
+    if the address being passed next needs to be memory mapped
+    (<constant>mmio</constant>) or not. The <constant>address</constant> must
+    be passed in hex and is the hardware address and will be remapped if
+    passed as <constant>mmio</constant>. The value
+    <constant>baud rate</constant> and <constant>irq</constant> are base-10.
+    The supported values for <constant>baud rate</constant> are
+    <constant>9600</constant>, <constant>19200</constant>,
+    <constant>38400</constant>, <constant>57600</constant>, and
+    <constant>115200</constant>.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+    To have KGDB stop the kernel and wait, with the compiled values for the
+    serial driver, pass in: <constant>kgdbwait</constant>.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+    To specify the values of the serial port at boot:
+    <constant>kgdb8250=io,3f8,115200,3</constant>.
+    On IA64 this could also be:
+    <constant>kgdb8250=mmio,0xff5e0000,115200,74</constant>
+    And to have KGDB also stop the kernel and wait for GDB to connect, pass in
+    <constant>kgdbwait</constant> after this arguement.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+    To configure the <symbol>CONFIG_KGDBOE</symbol> driver, pass in
+    <constant>kgdboe=[src-port]@&lt;src-ip&gt;/[dev],[tgt-port]@&lt;tgt-ip&gt;/[tgt-macaddr]</constant>
+    where:
+    <itemizedlist>
+      <listitem><para>src-port (optional): source for UDP packets (defaults to <constant>6443</constant>)</para></listitem>
+      <listitem><para>src-ip: source IP to use (interface address)</para></listitem>

+      <listitem><para>tgt-macaddr (optional): ethernet MAC address for logging agent (default is broadcast)</para></listitem>
+    </itemizedlist>
+    </para>
+    <para>
+    The <symbol>CONFIG_KGDBOE</symbol> driver can be reconfigured at run time,
+    if <symbol>CONFIG_SYSFS</symbol> and <symbol>CONFIG_MODULES</symbol>
+    are enabled, by echo'ing a new config string to
+    <constant>/sys/module/kgdboe/parameter/kgdboe</constant>.  The
+    driver can be unconfigured with the special string

+  <chapter id="ConnectingGDB">
+  <title>Connecting gdb</title>
+    <para>
+    If you have used any of the methods to have KGDB stop and create
+    an initial breakpoint described in the previous chapter, kgdb prints
+    the message "Waiting for connection from remote gdb..." on the console
+    and waits for connection from gdb. At this point you connect gdb to kgdb.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+    Example (serial):
+    </para>
+    <programlisting>
+    % gdb ./vmlinux
+    (gdb) set remotebaud 115200
+    (gdb) target remote /dev/ttyS0
+    </programlisting>
+    <para>
+    Example (ethernet):
+    </para>
+    <programlisting>
+    % gdb ./vmlinux
+    (gdb) target remote udp:192.168.2.2:6443
+    </programlisting>
+    <para>
+    Once connected, you can debug a kernel the way you would debug an
+    application program.
+    </para>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter id="CommonBackEndReq">
+    <title>The common backend (required)</title>
+      <para>
+      There are a few flags which must be set on every architecture in
+      their &lt;asm/kgdb.h&gt; file.  These are:
+      <itemizedlist>
+        <listitem>
+	  <para>
+	  NUMREGBYTES: The size in bytes of all of the registers, so
+	  that we can ensure they will all fit into a packet.
+	  </para>
+	  <para>
+	  BUFMAX: The size in bytes of the buffer GDB will read into.
+	  This must be larger than NUMREGBYTES.
+	  </para>
+	  <para>
+	  CACHE_FLUSH_IS_SAFE: Set to one if it is always safe to call
+	  flush_cache_range or flush_icache_range.  On some architectures,
+	  these functions may not be safe to call on SMP since we keep other
+	  CPUs in a holding pattern.
+	  </para>
+	</listitem>
+      </itemizedlist>
+      </para>
+      <para>
+      There are also the following functions for the common backend,
+      found in kernel/kgdb.c, that must be supplied by the
+      architecture-specific backend.  No weak version of these is provided.
+      </para>

+  <chapter id="CommonBackEndOpt">
+    <title>The common backend (optional)</title>
+      <para>
+      These functions are part of the common backend, found in kernel/kgdb.c

+	  your ethernet card support this.  Other options may exist.
