kgdb: Flush console before entering kgdb on panic

[ Upstream commit dd712d3d45807db9fcae28a522deee85c1f2fde6 ]

When entering kdb/kgdb on a kernel panic, it was be observed that the
console isn't flushed before the `kdb` prompt came up. Specifically,
when using the buddy lockup detector on arm64 and running:
echo HARDLOCKUP > /sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/DIRECT

I could see:
[ 26.161099] lkdtm: Performing direct entry HARDLOCKUP
[ 32.499881] watchdog: Watchdog detected hard LOCKUP on cpu 6
[ 32.552865] Sending NMI from CPU 5 to CPUs 6:

[ 32.867471] Sending NMI from CPU 5 to CPUs 0-4,7:
[ 32.872321] NMI backtrace forP cpuANC: Hard LOCKUP

Entering kdb (current=..., pid 0) on processor 5 due to Keyboard Entry
[5]kdb>

As you can see, backtraces for the other CPUs start printing and get
interleaved with the kdb PANIC print.

Let's replicate the commands to flush the console in the kdb panic
entry point to avoid this.

tty: sysrq: switch sysrq handlers from int to u8

The passed parameter to sysrq handlers is a key (a character). So change
the type from 'int' to 'u8'. Let it specifically be 'u8' for two
reasons:
* unsigned: unsigned values come from the upper layers (devices) and the
tty layer assumes unsigned on most places, and
* 8-bit: as that what's supposed to be one day in all the layers built
on the top of tty. (Currently, we use mostly 'unsigned char' and
somewhere still only 'char'. (But that also translates to the former
thanks to -funsigned-char.))

lockdown: also lock down previous kgdb use

KGDB and KDB allow read and write access to kernel memory, and thus
should be restricted during lockdown. An attacker with access to a
serial port (for example, via a hypervisor console, which some cloud
vendors provide over the network) could trigger the debugger so it is
important that the debugger respect the lockdown mode when/if it is
triggered.

Fix this by integrating lockdown into kdb's existing permissions
mechanism. Unfortunately kgdb does not have any permissions mechanism
(although it certainly could be added later) so, for now, kgdb is simply
and brutally disabled by immediately exiting the gdb stub without taking
any action.

For lockdowns established early in the boot (e.g. the normal case) then
this should be fine but on systems where kgdb has set breakpoints before
the lockdown is enacted than "bad things" will happen.

kgdb: Remove kgdb_schedule_breakpoint()

To the very best of my knowledge there has never been any in-tree
code that calls this function. It exists largely to support an
out-of-tree driver that provides kgdb-over-ethernet using the
netpoll API.

kgdboe has been out-of-tree for more than 10 years and I don't
recall any serious attempt to upstream it at any point in the last
five. At this stage it looks better to stop carrying this code in
the kernel and integrate the code into the out-of-tree driver
instead.

The long term trajectory for the kernel looks likely to include
effort to remove or reduce the use of tasklets (something that has
also been true for the last 10 years). Thus the main real reason
for this patch is to make explicit that the in-tree kgdb features
do not require tasklets.

the calls are paired correctly they are needlessly smeared across three
different functions. Worse this also results in code to drive polled I/O
being called with breakpoints activated which, in turn, needlessly
increases the set of functions that will recursively trap if breakpointed.

Fix this by moving the activation of breakpoints into the debug core.

kgdb: Add NOKPROBE labels on the trap handler functions

Currently kgdb honours the kprobe blocklist but doesn't place its own
trap handling code on the list. Add labels to discourage attempting to
use kgdb to debug itself.

Not every functions that executes from the trap handler needs to be
marked up: relatively early in the trap handler execution (just after
we bring the other CPUs to a halt) all breakpoints are replaced with
the original opcodes. This patch marks up code in the debug_core that
executes between trap entry and the breakpoints being deactivated
and, also, code that executes between breakpoint activation and trap
exit.

To be clear these changes are not sufficient to make recursive trapping
impossible since they do not include library calls made during kgdb's
entry/exit logic. However going much further whilst we are sharing the
kprobe blocklist risks reducing the capabilities of kprobe and this
would be a bad trade off (especially so given kgdb's users are currently
conditioned to avoid recursive traps).

in kgdb_register_callbacks() and "kgdb_use_con" won't have been set
yet so we'll never get around to starting "kgdbcon". Let's remedy
this by detecting that the IO module was already registered when
setting "kgdb_use_con" and registering the console then.

As part of this, to avoid pre-declaring things, move the handling of
the "kgdbcon" further down in the file.

The problem was that we were holding the "kgdb_registration_lock"
while calling into code that didn't expect to be called in spinlock
context.

Let's slightly defer when we call the deinit code so that it's not
done under spinlock.

NOTE: this does mean that the "deinit" call of the old kgdb IO module
is now made _after_ the init of the new IO module, but presumably
that's OK.

kgdboc: Add kgdboc_earlycon to support early kgdb using boot consoles

We want to enable kgdb to debug the early parts of the kernel.
Unfortunately kgdb normally is a client of the tty API in the kernel
and serial drivers don't register to the tty layer until fairly late
in the boot process.

Serial drivers do, however, commonly register a boot console. Let's
enable the kgdboc driver to work with boot consoles to provide early
debugging.

This change co-opts the existing read() function pointer that's part
of "struct console". It's assumed that if a boot console (with the
flag CON_BOOT) has implemented read() that both the read() and write()
function are polling functions. That means they work without
interrupts and read() will return immediately (with 0 bytes read) if
there's nothing to read. This should be a safe assumption since it
appears that no current boot consoles implement read() right now and
there seems no reason to do so unless they wanted to support
"kgdboc_earlycon".

The normal/expected way to make all this work is to use
"kgdboc_earlycon" and "kgdboc" together. You should point them both
to the same physical serial connection. At boot time, as the system
transitions from the boot console to the normal console (and registers
a tty), kgdb will switch over.

One awkward part of all this, though, is that there can be a window
where the boot console goes away and we can't quite transtion over to
the main kgdboc that uses the tty layer. There are two main problems:

1. The act of registering the tty doesn't cause any call into kgdboc
so there is a window of time when the tty is there but kgdboc's
init code hasn't been called so we can't transition to it.

2. On some serial drivers the normal console inits (and replaces the
boot console) quite early in the system. Presumably these drivers
were coded up before earlycon worked as well as it does today and
probably they don't need to do this anymore, but it causes us
problems nontheless.

Problem #1 is not too big of a deal somewhat due to the luck of probe
ordering. kgdboc is last in the tty/serial/Makefile so its probe gets
right after all other tty devices. It's not fun to rely on this, but
it does work for the most part.

Problem #2 is a big deal, but only for some serial drivers. Other
serial drivers end up registering the console (which gets rid of the
boot console) and tty at nearly the same time.

The way we'll deal with the window when the system has stopped using
the boot console and the time when we're setup using the tty is to
keep using the boot console. This may sound surprising, but it has
been found to work well in practice. If it doesn't work, it shouldn't
be too hard for a given serial driver to make it keep working.
Specifically, it's expected that the read()/write() function provided
in the boot console should be the same (or nearly the same) as the
normal kgdb polling functions. That means continuing to use them
should work just fine. To make things even more likely to work work
we'll also trap the recently added exit() function in the boot console
we're using and delay any calls to it until we're all done with the
boot console.

NOTE: there could be ways to use all this in weird / unexpected ways.
If you do something like this, it's a bit of a buyer beware situation.
Specifically:
- If you specify only "kgdboc_earlycon" but not "kgdboc" then
(depending on your serial driver) things will probably work OK, but
you'll get a warning printed the first time you use kgdb after the
boot console is gone. You'd only be able to do this, of course, if
the serial driver you're running atop provided an early boot console.
- If your "kgdboc_earlycon" and "kgdboc" devices are not the same
device things should work OK, but it'll be your job to switch over
which device you're monitoring (including figuring out how to switch
over gdb in-flight if you're using it).

When trying to enable "kgdboc_earlycon" it should be noted that the
names that are registered through the boot console layer and the tty
layer are not the same for the same port. For example when debugging
on one board I'd need to pass "kgdboc_earlycon=qcom_geni
kgdboc=ttyMSM0" to enable things properly. Since digging up the boot
console name is a pain and there will rarely be more than one boot
console enabled, you can provide the "kgdboc_earlycon" parameter
without specifying the name of the boot console. In this case we'll
just pick the first boot that implements read() that we find.

This new "kgdboc_earlycon" parameter should be contrasted to the
existing "ekgdboc" parameter. While both provide a way to debug very
early, the usage and mechanisms are quite different. Specifically
"kgdboc_earlycon" is meant to be used in tandem with "kgdboc" and
there is a transition from one to the other. The "ekgdboc" parameter,
on the other hand, replaces the "kgdboc" parameter. It runs the same
logic as the "kgdboc" parameter but just relies on your TTY driver
being present super early. The only known usage of the old "ekgdboc"
parameter is documented as "ekgdboc=kbd earlyprintk=vga". It should
be noted that "kbd" has special treatment allowing it to init early as
a tty device.
