2010-05-20kdb: core for kgdb back end (1 of 2)Jason Wessel
This patch contains only the kdb core. Because the change set was large, it was split. The next patch in the series includes the instrumentation into the core kernel which are mainly helper functions for kdb. This work is directly derived from kdb v4.4 found at: ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/kdb/download/v4.4/ The kdb internals have been re-organized to make them mostly platform independent and to connect everything to the debug core which is used by gdbstub (which has long been known as kgdb). The original version of kdb was 58,000 lines worth of changes to support x86. From that implementation only the kdb shell, and basic commands for memory access, runcontrol, lsmod, and dmesg where carried forward. This is a generic implementation which aims to cover all the current architectures using the kgdb core: ppc, arm, x86, mips, sparc, sh and blackfin. More archictectures can be added by implementing the architecture specific kgdb functions.

2010-05-20Separate the gdbstub from the debug coreJason Wessel
Split the former kernel/kgdb.c into debug_core.c which contains the kernel debugger exception logic and to the gdbstub.c which contains the logic for allowing gdb to talk to the debug core. This also created a private include file called debug_core.h which contains all the definitions to glue the debug_core to any other debugger connections.

2010-05-20Move kernel/kgdb.c to kernel/debug/debug_core.cJason Wessel
Move kgdb.c in preparation to separate the gdbstub from the debug core and exception handling. CC: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>
