Other functions that seem to be missing from a quick skim: * kgdb_io_ready() * kgdb_roundup_cpus() * kgdb_call_nmi_hook() I'm not confident in my ability to spot every code path, though, so I'm not sure at what point we stop looking. I only spent a few minutes and, if important, I could dig more. Did you have any chance to see if there was any way to have a magic linker script just add this to everything under "kernel/debug" or something like that where we just use a heavier hammer to whack a whole bunch? In general any extra annotation here is better than no annotation, I suppose. ...so if you just want to commit what you have (maybe with the above 3 extra functions) then I suppose it'd be fine. -Doug -Doug

I think one could play games with linker sections but it would involve adding extra infrastructure for the kprobe blocklist. I'm not convinced that is worth the effort whilst there are acknowledged (and bigger) gaps elsewhere. > In general any extra annotation here is better than no annotation, I > suppose. ...so if you just want to commit what you have (maybe with > the above 3 extra functions) then I suppose it'd be fine. This wasn't quite confident enough for me to convert into an Acked-by: but I plan to pull v4 into -next very shortly after posting it (since everything else is agreed). Daniel.

Currently kgdb honours the kprobe blocklist but doesn't place its own trap handling code on the list. Add labels to discourage attempting to use kgdb to debug itself. Not every functions that executes from the trap handler needs to be marked up: relatively early in the trap handler execution (just after we bring the other CPUs to a halt) all breakpoints are replaced with the original opcodes. This patch marks up code in the debug_core that executes between trap entry and the breakpoints being deactivated and, also, code that executes between breakpoint activation and trap exit. To be clear these changes are not sufficient to make recursive trapping impossible since cover all the library calls made during kgdb's entry/exit logic. However going much further whilst we are sharing the kprobe blocklist risks reducing the capabilities of kprobe and this would be a bad trade off (especially so given kgdb's users are currently conditioned to avoid recursive traps).
