From: Sumit Garg <sumit.garg@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 93f7a6d818deef69d0ba652d46bae6fbabbf365c upstream. Currently kdb uses in_interrupt() to determine whether its library code has been called from the kgdb trap handler or from a saner calling context such as driver init. This approach is broken because in_interrupt() alone isn't able to determine kgdb trap handler entry from normal task context. This can happen during normal use of basic features such as breakpoints and can also be trivially reproduced using: echo g > /proc/sysrq-trigger We can improve this by adding check for in_dbg_master() instead which explicitly determines if we are running in debugger context.
