* tile kgdb: fix bug in copy to gdb regs, and optimize memsetChris Metcalf2016-03-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | David Binderman pointed out that we were doing a full memset() of the gdb register buffer and then doing a memcpy() to it that was almost as big. This commit optimizes that by only doing a memset() of the registers that are intended to be zero. While making this change I noticed that we were not copying the link register (LR, number 55) due to a fencepost error in commit f419e6f63c5a ("arch: tile: kernel: kgdb.c: Use memcpy() instead of pointer copy one by one"), and I've corrected that as well.

* tile: define a macro ktext_writable_addr to get writable kernel text addressZhigang Lu2016-01-04
| | | | | | | | | It is used by kgdb, ftrace, kprobe and jump label, so we factor this out into a helper routine. Reviewed-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@ezchip.com> Signed-off-by: Zhigang Lu <zlu@ezchip.com> Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@ezchip.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Not only memcpy() is faster than pointer copy, but also let code more clearer and simple, which can avoid compiling warning (the original implementation copy registers by exceeding member array border).
