2016-06-16arm64: kgdb: Match pstate size with gdbserver protocolDaniel Thompson
Current versions of gdb do not interoperate cleanly with kgdb on arm64 systems because gdb and kgdb do not use the same register description. This patch modifies kgdb to work with recent releases of gdb (>= 7.8.1). Compatibility with gdb (after the patch is applied) is as follows: gdb-7.6 and earlier Ok gdb-7.7 series Works if user provides custom target description gdb-7.8(.0) Works if user provides custom target description gdb-7.8.1 and later Ok When commit 44679a4f142b ("arm64: KGDB: Add step debugging support") was introduced it was paired with a gdb patch that made an incompatible change to the gdbserver protocol. This patch was eventually merged into the gdb sources: https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=a4d9ba85ec5597a6a556afe26b712e878374b9dd The change to the protocol was mostly made to simplify big-endian support inside the kernel gdb stub. Unfortunately the gdb project released gdb-7.7.x and gdb-7.8.0 before the protocol incompatibility was identified and reversed: https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=bdc144174bcb11e808b4e73089b850cf9620a7ee This leaves us in a position where kgdb still uses the no-longer-used protocol; gdb-7.8.1, which restored the original behaviour, was released on 2014-10-29. I don't believe it is possible to detect/correct the protocol incompatiblity which means the kernel must take a view about which version of the gdb remote protocol is "correct". This patch takes the view that the original/current version of the protocol is correct and that version found in gdb-7.7.x and gdb-7.8.0 is anomalous.

2014-02-26arm64: KGDB: Add Basic KGDB supportVijaya Kumar K
Add KGDB debug support for kernel debugging. With this patch, basic KGDB debugging is possible.GDB register layout is updated and GDB tool can establish connection with target and can set/clear breakpoints.
