2008-05-14lib: create common ascii hex arrayHarvey Harrison
Add a common hex array in hexdump.c so everyone can use it. Add a common hi/lo helper to avoid the shifting masking that is done to get the upper and lower nibbles of a byte value. Pull the pack_hex_byte helper from kgdb as it is opencoded many places in the tree that will be consolidated.

2008-04-17kgdb: always use icache flush for sw breakpointsJason Wessel
On the ppc 4xx architecture the instruction cache must be flushed as well as the data cache. This patch just makes it generic for all architectures where CACHE_FLUSH_IS_SAFE is set to 1. Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-04-17kgdb: fix SMP NMI kgdb_handle_exception exit raceJason Wessel
Fix the problem of protecting the kgdb handle_exception exit which had an NMI race condition, while trying to restore normal system operation. There was a small window after the master processor sets cpu_in_debug to zero but before it has set kgdb_active to zero where a non-master processor in an SMP system could receive an NMI and re-enter the kgdb_wait() loop. As long as the master processor sets the cpu_in_debug before sending the cpu roundup the cpu_in_debug variable can also be used to guard against the race condition. The kgdb_wait() function no longer needs to check kgdb_active because it is done in the arch specific code and handled along with the nmi traps at the low level. This also allows kgdb_wait() to exit correctly if it was entered for some unknown reason due to a spurious NMI that could not be handled by the arch specific code.

2008-04-17kgdb: fix several kgdb regressionsJason Wessel
kgdb core fixes: - Check to see that mm->mmap_cache is not null before calling flush_cache_range(), else on arch=ARM it will cause a fatal fault. - Breakpoints should only be restored if they are in the BP_ACTIVE state. - Fix a typo in comments to "kgdb_register_io_module" x86 kgdb fixes: - Fix the x86 arch handler such that on a kill or detach that the appropriate cleanup on the single stepping flags gets run. - Add in the DIE_NMIWATCHDOG call for x86_64 - Touch the nmi watchdog before returning the system to normal operation after performing any kind of kgdb operation, else the possibility exists to trigger the watchdog.

2008-04-17kgdb: fix optional arch functions and probe_kernel_*Jason Wessel
Fix two regressions dealing with the kgdb core. 1) kgdb_skipexception and kgdb_post_primary_code are optional functions that are only required on archs that need special exception fixups. 2) The kernel address space scope must be set on any probe_kernel_* function or archs such as ARCH=arm will not allow access to the kernel memory space. As an example, it is required to allow the full kernel address space is when you the kernel debugger to inspect a system call.

2008-04-17kgdb: add x86 HW breakpointsJason Wessel
Add HW breakpoints into the arch specific portion of x86 kgdb. In the current x86 kernel.org kernels HW breakpoints are changed out in lazy fashion because there is no infrastructure around changing them when changing to a kernel task or entering the kernel mode via a system call. This lazy approach means that if a user process uses HW breakpoints the kgdb will loose out. This is an acceptable trade off because the developer debugging the kernel is assumed to know what is going on system wide and would be aware of this trade off. There is a minor bug fix to the kgdb core so as to correctly call the hw breakpoint functions with a valid value from the enum. There is also a minor change to the x86_64 startup code when using early HW breakpoints. When the debugger is connected, the cpu startup code must not zero out the HW breakpoint registers or you cannot hit the breakpoints you are interested in, in the first place.
