Reset vector can be setup by bootloader and kernel doens't need
to touch it. If you require to setup reset vector, please use
CONFIG_MANUAL_RESET_VECTOR throught menuconfig.
It is not possible to setup address 0x0 as reset address because
make no sense to set it up at all.

If soft reset falls through with no hardware assisted reset, the best
we can do is jump to the reset vector and see what the bootloader left
for us.

Microblaze vector table stores several vectors (reset, user exception,
interrupt, debug exception and hardware exception).
All these functions can be below address 0x10000. If they are, wrong
vector table is genarated because jump is not setup from two instructions
(imm upper 16bit and brai lower 16bit).
Adding specific offset prevent problem if address is below 0x10000.
For this case only brai instruction is used.

r0_ram pool was used for saving/restoring register
content if hw exception happen. This poll was replaced by
pt_pool_space with PT_SIZE size.
Based on this change SAVE_STATE_ARG_SPACE was removed which
caused that PTO offset is zero that's why is also removed.
r0_ram space was used as scratchpad by v850. In early
Microblaze Linux developing phase was this part of code
blindly copied.

Kgdb uses brki r16, 0x18 instruction to call
low level _debug_exception function which save
current state to pt_regs and call microblaze_kgdb_break
function. _debug_exception should be called only from
the kernel space. User space calling is not supported
because user application debugging uses different handling.
pt_regs_to_gdb_regs loads additional special registers
which can't be changed
* Enable KGDB in Kconfig
* Remove ancient not-tested KGDB support
* Remove ancient _debug_exception code from entry.S
Only MMU KGDB support is supported.

This is the first patch which add support for
user application debugging through brki rX, 0x18 vector.
This patch has side effect which also remove security issue
to use brki rX, 0x18 to freeze kernel.
Support for old gdb support via priviledged exception
(brk r0, r0) is still there. It will be remove in future.

VMS is always setup because VM mode was before
exception/syscall/interrupt. Kernel continues in kernel mode

PT_MODE stores information if kernel comes from user
or kernel space. If come from user space, PT_MODE
contains 0. If come from kernel store, PT_MODE contains

Remove additional send_sig loading. I am using IMM part of
rtbd instruction with r0.
old solution:

It is necessary to setup BIP and EE and clear EIP
only for unaligned exception handler. The rest of
hw exception handlers don't require it.
HW exception occured and we are not in virtual mode.
That's why we can do operations protected by EIP.
Interrupt, next hw exception or syscall can't occur.
EIP is cleared by rted.
This change speedup page_fault hw exception handler
which is critical path.
There is also necessary to save R11 content before
flag setup for unaligned exception.

There is a way howto remove Kernel Mode variable. It is easier
to parse UMS bit in MSR to find out if I come from kernel or user
space. Loading MSR content should be in one cycle and loading
PER_CPU variable depends on memory state.

Save and restore R3/R4 registers in macros. This change
help to cleanup entry.S.
In ret_from_trap function we are saving returning value from
syscall to pt_regs on stack that's why we don't need to save and
restore these values before kernel functions (schedule, do_signal).

Implement intelligent backtracing by searching for stack frame creation,
and emitting only return addresses. Use print_hex_dump() to display the
entire binary kernel stack.
Limitation: MMU kernels are not currently able to trace beyond a system trap
(interrupt, syscall, etc.). It is the intent of this patch to provide
infrastructure that can be extended to add this capability later.
Changes from V1:
* Removed checks in find_frame_creation() that prevented location of the frame
creation instruction in heavily optimized code
* Various formatting/commenting/file location tweaks per review comments
* Dropped Kconfig option to enable STACKTRACE as something logically separate

sys_clone syscall ignored args which this patch mapped to args
which are passing from glibc.
Here is the origin problem description.
"I ran the static libgcc tests (very few of them are there, they are
mostly dynamically linked) and some of them fail with an assertion in
fork() system call (tid != pid), I looked at the microblaze/entry.S
file and it looks suspicious (ignores arguments 3-5)"
Arg mapping should be:
glibc ARCH_FORK(...) -> do_fork(...)
r5 -> r5 (clone_flags)
r6 -> r6 (stack_start, use parent->stack if NULL)
pt_regs -> r7 (pt_regs)
r7 -> r8 (stack_size)
r8 -> r9 (parent_tidptr)
r9 -> r10 (child_tidptr)

Saving is done in SAVE_STATE macros that's why another save discard
previous saved value.
This change has no effect to normal programs because they ends in any exception
and they are killed. On the other side has effect on debugging.
