[PATCH v10 6/6] arm64: kgdb: Implement kgdb_roundup_cpus() to enable pseudo-NMI roundup
From: Douglas Anderson
Date: Tue Aug 22 2023 - 17:31:08 EST
Up until now we've been using the generic (weak) implementation for
kgdb_roundup_cpus() when using kgdb on arm64. Let's move to a custom
one. The advantage here is that, when pseudo-NMI is enabled on a
device, we'll be able to round up CPUs using pseudo-NMI. This allows
us to debug CPUs that are stuck with interrupts disabled. If
pseudo-NMIs are not enabled then we'll fallback to just using an IPI,
which is still slightly better than the generic implementation since
it avoids the potential situation described in the generic
kgdb_call_nmi_hook().

I debated whether this should be in "arch/arm64/kernel/smp.c" or if I
should try to find a way for it to go into "arch/arm64/kernel/kgdb.c".
In the end this is so little code that it didn't seem worth it to find
a way to export the IPI defines or to otherwise come up with some API
between kgdb.c and smp.c. If someone has strong feelings and wants
this to change, please shout and give details of your preferred
solution.
FWIW, it seems like ~half the other platforms put this in "smp.c" with
an ifdef for KGDB and the other half put it in "kgdb.c" with an ifdef
for SMP. :-P
Changes in v10:
- Don't allocate the cpumask on the stack; just iterate.
- Moved kgdb calls to smp.c to avoid needing to export IPI info.
- kgdb now has its own IPI.
Changes in v9:
- Remove fallback for when debug IPI isn't available.
- Renamed "NMI IPI" to "debug IPI" since it might not be backed by NMI.
