I've just reproduced this locally on my dragonboard APQ8060.

It looks like the write_wb_reg() call that's exploding is from
get_max_wp_len(), which we call immediately after registering the
dbg_reset_online callback. Clearing DBGPRSR.SPD before the write_wb_reg() hides
the problem, so I suspect we're seeing the issue I mentioned above -- it just
so happens that we go idle in a new place.

The below hack allows boot to continue, but is not a real fix. I'm not
immediately sure what to do.

Linus, I wasn't able to get ethernet working. Do I need anything on top
of v4.10-rc2 && multi_v7_defconfig?

Thanks,
Mark.

When you say "go idle", are we just executing a WFI, or is the power
controller coming into play and we're actually powering down the non-debug
logic? In the case of the latter, the PM notifier should clear SPD in
reset_ctrl_regs, so this sounds like a hardware bug where the SPD bit is
set unconditionally on WFI.

In that case, this code has always been dodgy -- what happens if you try
to use hardware breakpoints in GDB in the face of WFI-based idle?

If it's never worked, I suggest we blacklist the MIDR until somebody from
Qualcomm can help us further.

Me neither. But Will's suggestion to simply blacklist this chip might be
best.

I haven't tried it with multi_v7 but I should probably try that and patch
up the defconfigs, those are probably the root of the problem.

I do this on top of qcom_defconfig:

scripts/config --file .config \
        --enable QCOM_EBI2 \
        --enable ETHERNET \
        --enable NET_VENDOR_SMSC \
        --enable SMSC911X

Maybe you are missing the EBI2 config?

Yours,

From my prior experiments, just executing a WFI as we happen to do in
the default cpu_v7_do_idle. I tried passing cpuidle.off=1, but that
didn't help. NOPing the WFI in cpu_v7_do_idle did mask the issue, from
what I recall.

As far as I can see, that isn't happening. We don't save/restore any
other CPU state in the default idle path, and the kernel is otherwise
happy.

The kernel blows up similiarly to Linus's original report when the
kernel tries to program the breakpoint registers.

I also believe this has always been dodgy.

I'll see about putting a patch together.
