Jason Wessel84c08fd2010-05-20 21:04:24 -050047 The kernel has two different debugger front ends (kdb and kgdb)
48 which interface to the debug core. It is possible to use either
49 of the debugger front ends and dynamically transition between them
50 if you configure the kernel properly at compile and runtime.
Jason Wessele3e2aaf2008-03-20 13:43:45 -050051 </para>
52 <para>
Jason Wessel84c08fd2010-05-20 21:04:24 -050053 Kdb is simplistic shell-style interface which you can use on a
54 system console with a keyboard or serial console. You can use it
55 to inspect memory, registers, process lists, dmesg, and even set
56 breakpoints to stop in a certain location. Kdb is not a source
57 level debugger, although you can set breakpoints and execute some
58 basic kernel run control. Kdb is mainly aimed at doing some
59 analysis to aid in development or diagnosing kernel problems. You
60 can access some symbols by name in kernel built-ins or in kernel
61 modules if the code was built
62 with <symbol>CONFIG_KALLSYMS</symbol>.
63 </para>
64 <para>
65 Kgdb is intended to be used as a source level debugger for the
66 Linux kernel. It is used along with gdb to debug a Linux kernel.
67 The expectation is that gdb can be used to "break in" to the
68 kernel to inspect memory, variables and look through call stack
69 information similar to the way an application developer would use
70 gdb to debug an application. It is possible to place breakpoints
71 in kernel code and perform some limited execution stepping.
72 </para>
73 <para>
74 Two machines are required for using kgdb. One of these machines is
75 a development machine and the other is the target machine. The
76 kernel to be debugged runs on the target machine. The development
77 machine runs an instance of gdb against the vmlinux file which
78 contains the symbols (not boot image such as bzImage, zImage,
79 uImage...). In gdb the developer specifies the connection
80 parameters and connects to kgdb. The type of connection a
81 developer makes with gdb depends on the availability of kgdb I/O
82 modules compiled as built-ins or loadable kernel modules in the test
83 machine's kernel.

grzegorz.chwesewicz@chilan.comf9250932008-04-24 16:57:22 -050097 To enable <symbol>CONFIG_KGDB</symbol> you should first turn on
98 "Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers"
99 (CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL) in "General setup", then under the
Jason Wessel84c08fd2010-05-20 21:04:24 -0500100 "Kernel debugging" select "KGDB: kernel debugger".
101 </para>
102 <para>
103 While it is not a hard requirement that you have symbols in your
104 vmlinux file, gdb tends not to be very useful without the symbolic
105 data, so you will want to turn
106 on <symbol>CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO</symbol> which is called "Compile the
107 kernel with debug info" in the config menu.
Jason Wessele3e2aaf2008-03-20 13:43:45 -0500108 </para>
109 <para>
Jason Wessel5f5ddfb2008-08-01 08:39:34 -0500110 It is advised, but not required that you turn on the
Jason Wessel84c08fd2010-05-20 21:04:24 -0500111 <symbol>CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER</symbol> kernel option which is called "Compile the
112 kernel with frame pointers" in the config menu. This option
113 inserts code to into the compiled executable which saves the frame
114 information in registers or on the stack at different points which
115 allows a debugger such as gdb to more accurately construct
116 stack back traces while debugging the kernel.
Jason Wessel5f5ddfb2008-08-01 08:39:34 -0500117 </para>
118 <para>
Jason Wessela9b60bf2008-08-01 08:39:34 -0500119 If the architecture that you are using supports the kernel option
120 CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA, you should consider turning it off. This
121 option will prevent the use of software breakpoints because it
122 marks certain regions of the kernel's memory space as read-only.
123 If kgdb supports it for the architecture you are using, you can
124 use hardware breakpoints if you desire to run with the
125 CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA option turned on, else you need to turn off
126 this option.
127 </para>
128 <para>
Jason Wessel84c08fd2010-05-20 21:04:24 -0500129 Next you should choose one of more I/O drivers to interconnect
130 debugging host and debugged target. Early boot debugging requires
131 a KGDB I/O driver that supports early debugging and the driver
132 must be built into the kernel directly. Kgdb I/O driver
133 configuration takes place via kernel or module parameters which
134 you can learn more about in the in the section that describes the
135 parameter "kgdboc".

148 <title>Kernel config options for kdb</title>
149 <para>Kdb is quite a bit more complex than the simple gdbstub
150 sitting on top of the kernel's debug core. Kdb must implement a
151 shell, and also adds some helper functions in other parts of the
152 kernel, responsible for printing out interesting data such as what
153 you would see if you ran "lsmod", or "ps". In order to build kdb
154 into the kernel you follow the same steps as you would for kgdb.
155 </para>
156 <para>The main config option for kdb
157 is <symbol>CONFIG_KGDB_KDB</symbol> which is called "KGDB_KDB:
158 include kdb frontend for kgdb" in the config menu. In theory you
159 would have already also selected an I/O driver such as the
160 CONFIG_KGDB_SERIAL_CONSOLE interface if you plan on using kdb on a
161 serial port, when you were configuring kgdb.
162 </para>
163 <para>If you want to use a PS/2-style keyboard with kdb, you would
164 select CONFIG_KDB_KEYBOARD which is called "KGDB_KDB: keyboard as
165 input device" in the config menu. The CONFIG_KDB_KEYBOARD option
166 is not used for anything in the gdb interface to kgdb. The
167 CONFIG_KDB_KEYBOARD option only works with kdb.

182 <title>Kernel Debugger Boot Arguments</title>
183 <para>This section describes the various runtime kernel
184 parameters that affect the configuration of the kernel debugger.
185 The following chapter covers using kdb and kgdb as well as
186 provides some examples of the configuration parameters.</para>
187 <sect1 id="kgdboc">
188 <title>Kernel parameter: kgdboc</title>
189 <para>The kgdboc driver was originally an abbreviation meant to
190 stand for "kgdb over console". Today it is the primary mechanism
191 to configure how to communicate from gdb to kgdb as well as the
192 devices you want to use to interact with the kdb shell.
Jason Wessele3e2aaf2008-03-20 13:43:45 -0500193 </para>
Jason Wessel84c08fd2010-05-20 21:04:24 -0500194 <para>For kgdb/gdb, kgdboc is designed to work with a single serial
195 port. It is intended to cover the circumstance where you want to
196 use a serial console as your primary console as well as using it to
197 perform kernel debugging. It is also possible to use kgdb on a
198 serial port which is not designated as a system console. Kgdboc
199 may be configured as a kernel built-in or a kernel loadable module.
200 You can only make use of <constant>kgdbwait</constant> and early
201 debugging if you build kgdboc into the kernel as a built-in.
Jason Wessel65b5ac12010-08-05 09:22:33 -0500202 <para>Optionally you can elect to activate kms (Kernel Mode
203 Setting) integration. When you use kms with kgdboc and you have a
204 video driver that has atomic mode setting hooks, it is possible to
205 enter the debugger on the graphics console. When the kernel
206 execution is resumed, the previous graphics mode will be restored.
207 This integration can serve as a useful tool to aid in diagnosing
208 crashes or doing analysis of memory with kdb while allowing the
209 full graphics console applications to run.

293 <para>NOTE: Kgdboc does not support interrupting the target via the
294 gdb remote protocol. You must manually send a sysrq-g unless you
295 have a proxy that splits console output to a terminal program.
296 A console proxy has a separate TCP port for the debugger and a separate
297 TCP port for the "human" console. The proxy can take care of sending
298 the sysrq-g for you.
299 </para>
300 <para>When using kgdboc with no debugger proxy, you can end up
301 connecting the debugger at one of two entry points. If an
302 exception occurs after you have loaded kgdboc, a message should
303 print on the console stating it is waiting for the debugger. In
304 this case you disconnect your terminal program and then connect the
305 debugger in its place. If you want to interrupt the target system
306 and forcibly enter a debug session you have to issue a Sysrq
307 sequence and then type the letter <constant>g</constant>. Then
308 you disconnect the terminal session and connect gdb. Your options
309 if you don't like this are to hack gdb to send the sysrq-g for you
310 as well as on the initial connect, or to use a debugger proxy that
311 allows an unmodified gdb to do the debugging.

318 The Kernel command line option <constant>kgdbwait</constant> makes
319 kgdb wait for a debugger connection during booting of a kernel. You
320 can only use this option you compiled a kgdb I/O driver into the
321 kernel and you specified the I/O driver configuration as a kernel
322 command line option. The kgdbwait parameter should always follow the

648 <para>
649 When kgdb is enabled in the kernel config you can also elect to

651 enable a special kgdb I/O module which is designed to test the
652 kgdb internal functions.

655 The kgdb tests are mainly intended for developers to test the kgdb
656 internals as well as a tool for developing a new kgdb architecture
657 specific implementation. These tests are not really for end users
658 of the Linux kernel. The primary source of documentation would be
659 to look in the drivers/misc/kgdbts.c file.
660 </para>
661 <para>
662 The kgdb test suite can also be configured at compile time to run
663 the core set of tests by setting the kernel config parameter
664 KGDB_TESTS_ON_BOOT. This particular option is aimed at automated
665 regression testing and does not require modifying the kernel boot
666 config arguments. If this is turned on, the kgdb test suite can
667 be disabled by specifying "kgdbts=" as a kernel boot argument.

758 Any given kgdb I/O driver has to operate very closely with the
759 hardware and must do it in such a way that does not enable
760 interrupts or change other parts of the system context without
761 completely restoring them. The kgdb core will repeatedly "poll"
762 a kgdb I/O driver for characters when it needs input. The I/O
763 driver is expected to return immediately if there is no data
764 available. Doing so allows for the future possibility to touch

772 If you are intent on adding kgdb architecture specific support
773 for a new architecture, the architecture should define
774 <constant>HAVE_ARCH_KGDB</constant> in the architecture specific
775 Kconfig file. This will enable kgdb for the architecture, and
776 at that point you must create an architecture specific kgdb
777 implementation.

780 There are a few flags which must be set on every architecture in
781 their &lt;asm/kgdb.h&gt; file. These are:

783 <listitem>
784 <para>
785 NUMREGBYTES: The size in bytes of all of the registers, so
786 that we can ensure they will all fit into a packet.
787 </para>
788 <para>
789 BUFMAX: The size in bytes of the buffer GDB will read into.
790 This must be larger than NUMREGBYTES.
791 </para>
792 <para>
793 CACHE_FLUSH_IS_SAFE: Set to 1 if it is always safe to call
794 flush_cache_range or flush_icache_range. On some architectures,
795 these functions may not be safe to call on SMP since we keep other
796 CPUs in a holding pattern.

802 There are also the following functions for the common backend,
803 found in kernel/kgdb.c, that must be supplied by the
804 architecture-specific backend unless marked as (optional), in
805 which case a default function maybe used if the architecture
806 does not need to provide a specific implementation.

815 The kgdboc driver is actually a very thin driver that relies on the
816 underlying low level to the hardware driver having "polling hooks"
817 which the to which the tty driver is attached. In the initial
818 implementation of kgdboc it the serial_core was changed to expose a
Jason Wessel84c08fd2010-05-20 21:04:24 -0500819 low level UART hook for doing polled mode reading and writing of a
Jason Wessel225a4422008-04-01 16:55:26 -0500820 single character while in an atomic context. When kgdb makes an I/O
Jason Wessel65b5ac12010-08-05 09:22:33 -0500821 request to the debugger, kgdboc invokes a callback in the serial
822 core which in turn uses the callback in the UART driver.</para>

Jason Wessel84c08fd2010-05-20 21:04:24 -0500824 When using kgdboc with a UART, the UART driver must implement two callbacks in the <constant>struct uart_ops</constant>. Example from drivers/8250.c:<programlisting>
Jason Wessel225a4422008-04-01 16:55:26 -0500825#ifdef CONFIG_CONSOLE_POLL
826 .poll_get_char = serial8250_get_poll_char,
827 .poll_put_char = serial8250_put_poll_char,
828#endif
829 </programlisting>
830 Any implementation specifics around creating a polling driver use the
831 <constant>#ifdef CONFIG_CONSOLE_POLL</constant>, as shown above.
832 Keep in mind that polling hooks have to be implemented in such a way
833 that they can be called from an atomic context and have to restore
Jason Wessel84c08fd2010-05-20 21:04:24 -0500834 the state of the UART chip on return such that the system can return
Jason Wessel225a4422008-04-01 16:55:26 -0500835 to normal when the debugger detaches. You need to be very careful
Jason Wessel65b5ac12010-08-05 09:22:33 -0500836 with any kind of lock you consider, because failing here is most likely
Jason Wessel225a4422008-04-01 16:55:26 -0500837 going to mean pressing the reset button.

842 <para>The kgdboc driver contains logic to configure communications

846 <para>The core polled keyboard driver driver for PS/2 type keyboards
847 is in drivers/char/kdb_keyboard.c. This driver is hooked into the
848 debug core when kgdboc populates the callback in the array

861 Every time the kernel
862 debugger is entered it calls kgdboc_pre_exp_handler() which in turn
863 calls con_debug_enter() in the virtual console layer. On resuming kernel
864 execution, the kernel debugger calls kgdboc_post_exp_handler() which
865 in turn calls con_debug_leave().</para>
866 <para>Any video driver that wants to be compatible with the kernel
867 debugger and the atomic kms callbacks must implement the
868 mode_set_base_atomic, fb_debug_enter and fb_debug_leave operations.
869 For the fb_debug_enter and fb_debug_leave the option exists to use
870 the generic drm fb helper functions or implement something custom for
871 the hardware. The following example shows the initialization of the
872 .mode_set_base_atomic operation in
873 drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c:
874 <informalexample>
875 <programlisting>

884 <para>Here is an example of how the i915 driver initializes the fb_debug_enter and fb_debug_leave functions to use the generic drm helpers in
