This is the equivalent of commit 001bf455d206 ("ARM: 8428/1: kgdb: Fix
registers on sleeping tasks") but for arm64.  Nuff said.

It's a pity that 001bf455d206 doesn't explain *why* past_pt_regs doesn't
work.

Anyway, does this mean you're actually using kgdb on arm64? Does the rest of
it appear to work?

The task_pt_regs are the userspace regs at the highest address on the
kernel stack:

#define task_pt_regs(p) \
	((struct pt_regs *)(THREAD_SIZE + task_stack_page(p)) - 1)

... for kernel tasks, that's meaningless, and for user tasks, that won't
correspond to kernel state.

We can do this in one go:

	struct cpu_context *cpu_context = &task->thread.cpu_context;

... since we don't need the thread variable otherwise.

Are the other reg fields initialised elsewhere?

We might want to zero them here.

Thanks,
Mark.

Ah, sorry.  I can add that to the description but Mark Rutland also
explained it.  task_pt_regs are the userspace registers.  That's not
what kgdb needs.

Yeah, I've been using it for years.  I had this patch on my list to
upstream but it conflicted with commit 0d15ef677839 ("arm64: kgdb:
Match pstate size with gdbserver protocol") and I never had time to
figure out if that mattered, so it's been sitting at
http://crosreview.com/371942 forever.


NOTE: in general I haven't been using single step and breakpoints
since those have always been a bit iffy on serial kgdb and especially
since we have read-only text on our system, but maybe I'll try that
now that I'm running with a newer kernel.

Sure, I can spin it that way if it makes you happy.

Isn't that covered by the the "/* Initialize to zero */" comment and
and "memset((char *)gdb_regs, 0, NUMREGBYTES);"

...or are you thinking of initting something else to zero?

I'd misread the patch and thought that was part of the deleted lines.

That looks fine, then.
