Kexin SunandDaniel Thompson 256e5254ef kgdb: update outdated references to kgdb_wait()
The function kgdb_wait() was folded into the static function
kgdb_cpu_enter() by commit 62fae31219 ("kgdb: eliminate
kgdb_wait(), all cpus enter the same way").  Update the four stale
references accordingly:

 - include/linux/kgdb.h and arch/x86/kernel/kgdb.c: the
   kgdb_roundup_cpus() kdoc describes what other CPUs are rounded up
   to call.  Because kgdb_cpu_enter() is static, the correct public
   entry point is kgdb_handle_exception(); also fix a pre-existing
   grammar error ("get them be" -> "get them into") and reflow the
   text.

 - kernel/debug/debug_core.c: replace with the generic description
   "the debug trap handler", since the actual entry path is
   architecture-specific.

 - kernel/debug/gdbstub.c: kgdb_cpu_enter() is correct here (it
   describes internal state, not a call target); add the missing
   parentheses.

Randy DunlapandAndrew Morton 24c776355f kernel.h: drop hex.h and update all hex.h users
Remove <linux/hex.h> from <linux/kernel.h> and update all users/callers of
hex.h interfaces to directly #include <linux/hex.h> as part of the process
of putting kernel.h on a diet.

Removing hex.h from kernel.h means that 36K C source files don't have to
pay the price of parsing hex.h for the roughly 120 C source files that
need it.

This change has been build-tested with allmodconfig on most ARCHes.  Also,
all users/callers of <linux/hex.h> in the entire source tree have been
updated if needed (if not already #included).

Daniel Thompson 771910f719 kernel: debug: Centralize dbg_[de]activate_sw_breakpoints
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.

Davidlohr BuesoandDaniel Thompson ece4ceaf2e kdb: Use newer api for tasklist scanning
This kills using the do_each_thread/while_each_thread combo to
iterate all threads and uses for_each_process_thread() instead,
maintaining semantics. while_each_thread() is ultimately racy
and deprecated;  although in this particular case there is no
concurrency so it doesn't matter. Still lets trivially get rid
of two more users.

architecture defines CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_KGDB_QXFER_PKT and implement its own
kgdb_arch_handle_qxfer_pkt(). Except for the kgdb_arch_handle_qxfer_pkt(),

to host gdb when gdb stub receives the qSupported packet.

kernel/debug/gdbstub.c: In function ‘gdb_serial_stub’:
kernel/debug/gdbstub.c:1031:7: warning: this statement may fall through [-Wimplicit-fallthrough=]
    if (remcom_in_buffer[1] == '\0') {

Warning level 3 was used: -Wimplicit-fallthrough=3

Create a trivial placeholder <linux/sched/signal.h> file that just

bisectable.

Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

Pull KGDB/KDB fixes and cleanups from Jason Wessel:
 "For a change we removed more code than we added.  If people aren't
  using it we shouldn't be carrying it.  :-)

  Cleanups:
   - Remove kdb ssb command - there is no in kernel disassembler to
     support it

   - Remove kdb ll command - Always caused a kernel oops and there were
     no bug reports so no one was using this command

   - Use kernel ARRAY_SIZE macro instead of array computations

  Fixes:
   - Stop oops in kdb if user executes kdb_defcmd with args

   - kdb help command truncated text

   - ppc64 support for kgdbts

   - Add missing kconfig option from original kdb port for dealing with
     catastrophic kernel crashes such that you can reboot automatically
     on continue from kdb"

Jason Wessel f679c4985b kdb,kgdb: Implement switch and pass buffer from kdb -> gdb
When switching from kdb mode to kgdb mode packets were getting lost
depending on the size of the fifo queue of the serial chip.  When gdb
initially connects if it is in kdb mode it should entirely send any
character buffer over to the gdbstub when switching connections.

Previously kdb was zero'ing out the character buffer and this could
lead to gdb failing to connect at all, or a lengthy pause could occur
on the initial connect.
