Merge tag 'for_linux-3.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jwessel/kgdb
Pull KGDB/KDB fixes and cleanups from Jason Wessel:
"For a change we removed more code than we added. If people aren't
using it we shouldn't be carrying it. :-)
Cleanups:
- Remove kdb ssb command - there is no in kernel disassembler to
support it
- Remove kdb ll command - Always caused a kernel oops and there were
no bug reports so no one was using this command
- Use kernel ARRAY_SIZE macro instead of array computations
Fixes:
- Stop oops in kdb if user executes kdb_defcmd with args
- kdb help command truncated text
- ppc64 support for kgdbts
- Add missing kconfig option from original kdb port for dealing with
catastrophic kernel crashes such that you can reboot automatically
on continue from kdb"
