kgdb: support for ARCH=arm
This patch adds the ARCH=arm specific a kgdb backend, originally written by Deepak Saxena <dsaxena@plexity.net> and George Davis <gdavis@mvista.com>. Geoff Levand <geoffrey.levand@am.sony.com>, Nicolas Pitre, Manish Lachwani, and Jason Wessel have contributed various fixups here as well. The KGDB patch makes one change to the core ARM architecture such that the traps are initialized early for use with the debugger or other subsystems. [ mingo@elte.hu: small cleanups. ] [ ben-linux@fluff.org: fixed early_trap_init ] Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com> Acked-by: Deepak Saxena <dsaxena@plexity.net>

16 * GDB assumes that we're a user process being debugged, so
17 * it will send us an SWI command to write into memory as the
18 * debug trap. When an SWI occurs, the next instruction addr is
19 * placed into R14_svc before jumping to the vector trap.
20 * This doesn't work for kernel debugging as we are already in SVC
21 * we would loose the kernel's LR, which is a bad thing. This
22 * is bad thing.
23 *
24 * By doing this as an undefined instruction trap, we force a mode
25 * switch from SVC to UND mode, allowing us to save full kernel state.
26 *
27 * We also define a KGDB_COMPILED_BREAK which can be used to compile
28 * in breakpoints. This is important for things like sysrq-G and for
29 * the initial breakpoint from trap_init().
30 *
31 * Note to ARM HW designers: Add real trap support like SH && PPC to
32 * make our lives much much simpler. :)

53 * From Kevin Hilman:

55 * gdb is expecting the following registers layout.
56 *
57 * r0-r15: 1 long word each
58 * f0-f7: unused, 3 long words each !!
59 * fps: unused, 1 long word
60 * cpsr: 1 long word
61 *
62 * Even though f0-f7 and fps are not used, they need to be
63 * present in the registers sent for correct processing in
64 * the host-side gdb.
65 *
66 * In particular, it is crucial that CPSR is in the right place,
67 * otherwise gdb will not be able to correctly interpret stepping over
68 * conditional branches.
