Currently, 'KDBFLAGS' is an internal variable of kdb, it is combined
by 'KDBDEBUG' and state flags. It will be shown only when 'KDBDEBUG'
is set, and the user can define an environment variable named 'KDBFLAGS'
too. These are puzzling indeed.
After communication with Daniel, it seems that 'KDBFLAGS' is a misfeature.
So let's replace 'KDBFLAGS' with 'KDBDEBUG' to just show the value we
wrote into. After this modification, we can use `md4c1 kdb_flags` instead,
to observe the state flags.

Currently the PROMPT variable could be abused to provoke the printf()
machinery to read outside the current stack frame. Normally this
doesn't matter becaues md is already a much better tool for reading
from memory.
However the md command can be disabled by not setting KDB_ENABLE_MEM_READ.
Let's also prevent PROMPT from being modified in these circumstances.
Whilst adding a comment to help future code reviewers we also remove
the #ifdef where PROMPT in consumed. There is no problem passing an
unused (0) to snprintf when !CONFIG_SMP.

Currently the code to manage the kdb history buffer uses strncpy() to
copy strings to/and from the history and exhibits the classic "but
nobody ever told me that strncpy() doesn't always terminate strings"
bug. Modern gcc compilers recognise this bug and issue a warning.
In reality these calls will only abridge the copied string if kdb_read()
has *already* overflowed the command buffer. Thus the use of counted
copies here is only used to reduce the secondary effects of a bug
elsewhere in the code.
Therefore transitioning these calls into strscpy() (without checking
the return code) is appropriate.

If you switch to a sleeping task with the "pid" command and then type
"rd", kdb tells you this:
No current kdb registers. You may need to select another task
diag: -17: Invalid register name
The first message makes sense, but not the second. Fix it by just
returning 0 after commands accessing the current registers finish if
we've already printed the "No current kdb registers" error.
While fixing kdb_rd(), change the function to use "if" rather than
"ifdef". It cleans the function up a bit and any modern compiler will
have no trouble handling still producing good code.

Some (but not all?) of the kdb backtrace paths would cause the
kdb_current_task and kdb_current_regs to remain changed. As discussed
in a review of a previous patch [1], this doesn't seem intuitive, so
let's fix that.
...but, it turns out that there's actually no longer any reason to set
the current task / current regs while backtracing anymore anyway. As
of commit 2277b49258 ("kdb: Fix stack crawling on 'running' CPUs
that aren't the master") if we're backtracing on a task running on a
CPU we ask that CPU to do the backtrace itself. Linux can do that
without anything fancy. If we're doing backtrace on a sleeping task
we can also do that fine without updating globals. So this patch
mostly just turns into deleting a bunch of code.

If you drop into kdb and type "summary", it prints out a line that
says this:
ccversion CCVERSION
...and I don't mean that it actually prints out the version of the C
compiler. It literally prints out the string "CCVERSION".
The version of the C Compiler is already printed at boot up and it
doesn't seem useful to replicate this in kdb. Let's just delete it.
We can also delete the bit of the Makefile that called the C compiler
in an attempt to pass this into kdb. This will remove one extra call
to the C compiler at Makefile parse time and (very slightly) speed up
builds.

Pull kdb updates from Jason Wessel:
- fix 2032 time access issues and new compiler warnings
- minor regression test cleanup
- formatting fixes for end user use of kdb
* tag 'for_linus-4.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jwessel/kgdb:
kdb: use memmove instead of overlapping memcpy
kdb: use ktime_get_mono_fast_ns() instead of ktime_get_ts()
kdb: bl: don't use tab character in output
kdb: drop newline in unknown command output
kdb: make "mdr" command repeat
kdb: use __ktime_get_real_seconds instead of __current_kernel_time
misc: kgdbts: Display progress of asynchronous tests
The kdb code will print the monotonic time by ktime_get_ts(), but
the ktime_get_ts() will be protected by a sequence lock, that will
introduce one deadlock risk if the lock was already held in the
context from which we entered the debugger.
Thus we can use the ktime_get_mono_fast_ns() to get the monotonic
time, which is NMI safe access to clock monotonic. Moreover we can
remove the 'struct timespec', which is not y2038 safe.

When an unknown command is entered, kdb prints "Unknown kdb command:"
and then the unknown text, including the newline character. This
causes the ending single-quote mark to be printed on the next line
by itself, so just change the ending newline character to a null

kdb is the only user of the __current_kernel_time() interface, which is
not y2038 safe and should be removed at some point.
The kdb code also goes to great lengths to print the time in a
human-readable format from 'struct timespec', again using a non-y2038-safe
re-implementation of the generic time_to_tm() code.
Using __current_kernel_time() here is necessary since the regular
accessors that require a sequence lock might hang when called during the
xtime update. However, this is safe in the particular case since kdb is
only interested in the tv_sec field that is updated atomically.
In order to make this y2038-safe, I'm converting the code to the generic
time64_to_tm helper, but that introduces the problem that we have no
interface like __current_kernel_time() that provides a 64-bit timestamp
in a lockless, safe and architecture-independent way. I have multiple
ideas for how to solve that:
- __ktime_get_real_seconds() is lockless, but can return
incorrect results on 32-bit architectures in the special case that
we are in the process of changing the time across the epoch, either
during the timer tick that overflows the seconds in 2038, or while
calling settimeofday.
- ktime_get_real_fast_ns() would work in this context, but does
require a call into the clocksource driver to return a high-resolution
timestamp. This may have undesired side-effects in the debugger,
since we want to limit the interactions with the rest of the kernel.
- Adding a ktime_get_real_fast_seconds() based on tk_fast_mono
plus tkr->base_real without the tk_clock_read() delta. Not sure about
the value of adding yet another interface here.
- Changing the existing ktime_get_real_seconds() to use
tk_fast_mono on 32-bit architectures rather than xtime_sec. I think
this could work, but am not entirely sure if this is an improvement.
I picked the first of those for simplicity here. It's technically
not correct but probably good enough as the time is only used for the
debugging output and the race will likely never be hit in practice.
Another downside is having to move the declaration into a public header
file.
Let me know if anyone has a different preference.

- Rename from kdb_send_sig_info to kdb_send_sig
As there is no meaningful siginfo sent
- Use SEND_SIG_PRIV instead of generating a siginfo for a kdb
signal. The generated siginfo had a bogus rationale and was
not correct in the face of pid namespaces. SEND_SIG_PRIV
is simpler and actually correct.
- As the code grabs siglock just send the signal with siglock
held instead of dropping siglock and attempting to grab it again.
- Move the sig_valid test into kdb_kill where it can generate
a good error message.
