Subject: kgdb: fix SMP NMI kgdb_handle_exception exit race
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=56fb70932964927597ce30bbd820471633c72adc;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git

kgdb: fix SMP NMI kgdb_handle_exception exit race

Fix the problem of protecting the kgdb handle_exception exit
which had an NMI race condition, while trying to restore
normal system operation.

There was a small window after the master processor sets cpu_in_debug
to zero but before it has set kgdb_active to zero where a
non-master processor in an SMP system could receive an NMI and
re-enter the kgdb_wait() loop.

As long as the master processor sets the cpu_in_debug before sending
the cpu roundup the cpu_in_debug variable can also be used to guard
against the race condition.

The kgdb_wait() function no longer needs to check
kgdb_active because it is done in the arch specific code
and handled along with the nmi traps at the low level.
This also allows kgdb_wait() to exit correctly if it was
entered for some unknown reason due to a spurious NMI that
could not be handled by the arch specific code.
