Currently kdb contains some open-coded routines to generate a summary
character for each task. This code currently issues warnings, is
almost certainly broken and won't make sense to any kernel dev who
has ever used /proc to examine task states.
Fix both the warning and the potential for confusion by adopting the
scheduler's task classification. Whilst doing this we also simplify the
filtering by using mask strings directly (which means we don't have to
guess all the characters the scheduler might give us).
Unfortunately we can't quite match the scheduler classification completely.
We add four extra states: - for idle loops and i, m and s for sleeping
system daemons (which means kthreads in one of the I, M and S states).
These extra states are used to manage the filters for tools to make the
output of ps and bta less noisy.
Note: The Fixes below is the last point the original dubious code was
moved; it was not introduced by that patch. However it gives us
the last point to which this patch can be easily backported.
Happily that should be enough to cover the introduction of
CONFIG_WERROR!

Commit e4f291b3f7 ("kdb: Simplify kdb commands registration")
allowed registration of pre-allocated kdb commands with pointer to
struct kdbtab_t. Lets switch other users as well to register pre-
allocated kdb commands via:
- Changing prototype for kdb_register() to pass a pointer to struct
kdbtab_t instead.
- Embed kdbtab_t structure in kdb_macro_t rather than individual params.
With these changes kdb_register_flags() becomes redundant and hence
removed. Also, since we have switched all users to register
pre-allocated commands, "is_dynamic" flag in struct kdbtab_t becomes
redundant and hence removed as well.

Currently the only user for debug heap is kdbnearsym() which can be
modified to rather use statically allocated buffer for symbol name as
per it's current usage. So do that and hence remove custom debug heap
allocator.
Note that this change puts a restriction on kdbnearsym() callers to
carefully use shared namebuf such that a caller should consume the symbol
returned immediately prior to another call to fetch a different symbol.
Also, this change uses standard KSYM_NAME_LEN macro for namebuf
allocation instead of local variable: knt1_size which should avoid any
conflicts caused by changes to KSYM_NAME_LEN macro value.
This change has been tested using kgdbtest on arm64 which doesn't show
any regressions.

result, the access to the buffer is fully lockless now.
Note that printk() itself still uses locks because it tries to flush

buffers are still there because they prevent infinite recursion and
serialize backtraces from NMI. All this is going to change in the
future.

removal.

Rather than storing the iterator information in the registered
kmsg_dumper structure, create a separate iterator structure. The
kmsg_dump_iter structure can reside on the stack of the caller, thus
allowing lockless use of the kmsg_dump functions.
Update code that accesses the kernel logs using the kmsg_dumper
structure to use the new kmsg_dump_iter structure. For kmsg_dumpers,
this also means adding a call to kmsg_dump_rewind() to initialize
the iterator.
All this is in preparation for removal of @logbuf_lock.

Currently kdb uses in_interrupt() to determine whether its library
code has been called from the kgdb trap handler or from a saner calling
context such as driver init. This approach is broken because
in_interrupt() alone isn't able to determine kgdb trap handler entry from
normal task context. This can happen during normal use of basic features
such as breakpoints and can also be trivially reproduced using:
echo g > /proc/sysrq-trigger
We can improve this by adding check for in_dbg_master() instead which
explicitly determines if we are running in debugger context.

We could improve '1' to this :
#define kdb_func_printf(format, args...) \
kdb_printf("%s: " format, __func__, ## args)
2:
if(KDB_DEBUG(AR))
kdb_printf("%s "...,__func__,...);

#define kdb_dbg_printf(mask, format, args...) \

Currently using forward search doesn't handle multi-line strings correctly.
The search routine replaces line breaks with \0 during the search and, for
regular searches ("help | grep Common\n"), there is code after the line
has been discarded or printed to replace the break character.
However during a pager search ("help\n" followed by "/Common\n") when the
string is matched we will immediately return to normal output and the code
that should restore the \n becomes unreachable. Fix this by restoring the
replaced character when we disable the search mode and update the comment
accordingly.

During debug trap execution we expect dbg_deactivate_sw_breakpoints()
to be paired with an dbg_activate_sw_breakpoint(). Currently although
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.

Currently kgdb has absolutely no safety rails in place to discourage or
prevent a user from placing a breakpoint in dangerous places such as
the debugger's own trap entry/exit and other places where it is not safe
to take synchronous traps.
Introduce a new config symbol KGDB_HONOUR_BLOCKLIST and modify the
default implementation of kgdb_validate_break_address() so that we use
the kprobe blocklist to prohibit instrumentation of critical functions
if the config symbol is set. The config symbol dependencies are set to
ensure that the blocklist will be enabled by default if we enable KGDB
and are compiling for an architecture where we HAVE_KPROBES.
