Hi Anton,

Yep. As pointed out at:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/4/8/214
Commit ae6bf53e broke kgdb on SMP systems because it incorrectly assumes
that atomic_{inc,dec} imply barriers. Until this is fixed, it will never
work reliably on ARM. Try reverting the patch [this doesn't completely
resolve the situation, but it might help].

This patch might help if you're using the ARM11MPCore:

Hope that helps,
