Subject: [v3][PATCH 0/6] powerpc/book3e: make kgdb to work well

From: Tiejun Chen <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2013 11:09:22 +0800

This patchset is used to support kgdb/gdb on book3e.

Validated on p4080ds and p5040ds with test single step and breakpoint

v3:

* make work when enable CONFIG_RELOCATABLE
* fix one typo in patch,
  "powerpc/book3e: store critical/machine/debug exception thread info": 
	ld	r1,PACAKSAVE(r13);
    ->  ld	r14,PACAKSAVE(r13);
* remove copying the thread_info since booke and book3e always copy
  the thead_info now when we enter the debug exception, and so drop
  the v2 patch, "book3e/kgdb: Fix a single stgep case of lazy IRQ"

v2:

* Make sure we cover CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3E_64 safely
* Use LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE() to load properly
	the value of the constant expression in load debug exception stack 
* Copy thread infor form the kernel stack coming from usr
* Rebase latest powerpc git tree

v1:
* Copy thread info only when we are from !user mode since we'll get kernel stack
  coming from usr directly.
* remove save/restore EX_R14/EX_R15 since DBG_EXCEPTION_PROLOG already covered
  this.
* use CURRENT_THREAD_INFO() conveniently to get thread.
* fix some typos
* add a patch to make sure gdb can generate a single step properly to invoke a
  kgdb state.
* add a patch to if we need to replay an interrupt, we shouldn't restore that
  previous backup thread info to make sure we can replay an interrupt lately
  with a proper thread info.
* rebase latest powerpc git tree

v0:
This patchset is used to support kgdb for book3e.
