Subject: [PATCH 08/11] debug_core: disable hw_breakpoints on all cores in kgdb_cpu_enter()
Date: Fri, 22 Oct 2010 15:56:28 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1287780991-7476-9-git-send-email-jason.wessel@windriver.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1287780991-7476-1-git-send-email-jason.wessel@windriver.com>
From: Dongdong Deng <dongdong.deng@windriver.com>
The slave cpus do not have the hw breakpoints disabled upon entry to
the debug_core and as a result could cause unrecoverable recursive
faults on badly placed breakpoints, or get out of sync with the arch
specific hw breakpoint operations.
This patch addresses the problem by invoking kgdb_disable_hw_debug()
earlier in kgdb_enter_cpu for each cpu that enters the debug core.
The hw breakpoint dis/enable flow should be:
master_debug_cpu slave_debug_cpu
\ /
kgdb_cpu_enter
|
kgdb_disable_hw_debug --> uninstall pre-enabled hw_breakpoint
|
do add/rm dis/enable operates to hw_breakpoints on master_debug_cpu..
|
correct_hw_break --> correct/install the enabled hw_breakpoint
|
leave_kgdb
