powerpc/booke: Introduce new CONFIG options for advanced debug registers
From: Dave Kleikamp <shaggy@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Introduce new config options to simplify the ifdefs pertaining to the
advanced debug registers for booke and 40x processors:
CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_REGS - boolean: true for dac-based processors
CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_IACS - number of IAC registers
CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_DACS - number of DAC registers
CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_DVCS - number of DVC registers
CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_DAC_RANGE - DAC ranges supported
Beginning conservatively, since I only have the facilities to test 440
hardware. I believe all 40x and booke platforms support at least 2 IAC
and 2 DAC registers. For 440, 4 IAC and 2 DVC registers are enabled, as
well as the DAC ranges.

'acc' isn't used anywhere and thus triggers gcc warning, which causes
build error with CONFIG_PPC_DISABLE_WERROR=n (default):
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
arch/powerpc/kernel/kgdb.c: In function 'gdb_regs_to_pt_regs':
arch/powerpc/kernel/kgdb.c:289: warning: unused variable 'acc'

On the x86 arch, user space single step exceptions should be ignored
if they occur in the kernel space, such as ptrace stepping through a
system call.
First check if it is kgdb that is executing a single step, then ensure
it is not an accidental traversal into the user space, while in kgdb,
any other time the TIF_SINGLESTEP is set, kgdb should ignore the
exception.
On x86, arm, mips and powerpc, the kgdb_contthread usage was
inconsistent with the way single stepping is implemented in the kgdb
core. The arch specific stub should always set the
kgdb_cpu_doing_single_step correctly if it is single stepping. This
allows kgdb to correctly process an instruction steps if ptrace
happens to be requesting an instruction step over a system call.

This patch removes the old kgdb reminants from ARCH=powerpc and
implements the new style arch specific stub for the common kgdb core
interface.
It is possible to have xmon and kgdb in the same kernel, but you
cannot use both at the same time because there is only one set of
debug hooks.
The arch specific kgdb implementation saves the previous state of the
debug hooks and restores them if you unconfigure the kgdb I/O driver.
Kgdb should have no impact on a kernel that has no kgdb I/O driver
configured.
