MIPS: KGDB: Use kernel context for sleeping threads
KGDB is a kernel debug stub and it can't be used to debug userland as it can only safely access kernel memory. On MIPS however KGDB has always got the register state of sleeping processes from the userland register context at the beginning of the kernel stack. This is meaningless for kernel threads (which never enter userland), and for user threads it prevents the user seeing what it is doing while in the kernel: (gdb) info threads Id Target Id Frame ... 3 Thread 2 (kthreadd) 0x0000000000000000 in ?? () 2 Thread 1 (init) 0x000000007705c4b4 in ?? () 1 Thread -2 (shadowCPU0) 0xffffffff8012524c in arch_kgdb_breakpoint () at arch/mips/kernel/kgdb.c:201 Get the register state instead from the (partial) kernel register context stored in the task's thread_struct for resume() to restore. All threads now correctly appear to be in context_switch(): (gdb) info threads Id Target Id Frame ... 3 Thread 2 (kthreadd) context_switch (rq=<optimized out>, cookie=..., next=<optimized out>, prev=0x0) at kernel/sched/core.c:2903 2 Thread 1 (init) context_switch (rq=<optimized out>, cookie=..., next=<optimized out>, prev=0x0) at kernel/sched/core.c:2903 1 Thread -2 (shadowCPU0) 0xffffffff8012524c in arch_kgdb_breakpoint () at arch/mips/kernel/kgdb.c:201 Call clobbered registers which aren't saved and exception registers (BadVAddr & Cause) which can't be easily determined without stack unwinding are reported as 0. The PC is taken from the return address, such that the state presented matches that found immediately after returning from resume().
