When locally adding in some additional kdb commands, I stumbled
across an issue with the dynamic expansion of the kdb command table.
When the number of kdb commands exceeds the size of the statically
allocated kdb_base_commands[] array, additional space is allocated in
the kdb_register_repeat() routine.
The unused portion of the newly allocated array was not being initialized
to zero properly and this would result in segfaults when help '?' was
executed or when a search for a non-existing command would traverse the
command table beyond the end of valid command entries and then attempt
to use the non-zeroed area as actual command entries.

You should never look at such a module, so it's excised from all paths
which traverse the modules list.
We add the state at the end, to avoid gratuitous ABI break (ksplice).

This command disables NMI-entry. If NMI source has been previously shared
with a serial console ("debug port"), this effectively releases the port
from KDB exclusive use, and makes the console available for normal use.
Of course, NMI can be reenabled, enable_nmi modparam is used for that:
echo 1 > /sys/module/kdb/parameters/enable_nmi

The kgdb dmesg command is broken after the printk rework. The old logic
in kdb code makes no sense in terms of current printk/logging storage
format, and KDB simply hangs forever.
This patch revives the command by switching to kmsg_dumper iterator.
The code is now much more simpler and shorter.

This fixes the following problems:
1) Typematic-repeat of 'enter' gives warning message
and leaks make/break if KDB exits. Repeats
look something like 0x1c 0x1c .... 0x9c
2) Use of 'keypad enter' gives warning message and
leaks the ENTER break/make code out if KDB exits.
KP ENTER repeats look someting like 0xe0 0x1c
0xe0 0x1c ... 0xe0 0x9c.
3) Lag on the order of seconds between "break" and "make" when
expecting the enter "break" code. Seen under virtualized
environments such as VMware ESX.
The existing special enter handler tries to glob the enter break code,
but this fails if the other (KP) enter was used, or if there was a key
repeat. It also fails if you mashed some keys along with enter, and
you ended up with a non-enter make or non-enter break code coming
after the enter make code. So first, we modify the handler to handle
these cases. But performing these actions on every enter is annoying
since now you can't hold ENTER down to scroll <more>d messages in
KDB. Since this special behaviour is only necessary to handle the
exiting KDB ('g' + ENTER) without leaking scancodes to the OS. This
cleanup needs to get executed anytime the kdb_main loop exits.
Tested on QEMU. Set a bp on atkbd.c to verify no scan code was leaked.

Rusty pointed out that the per_cpu command uses up lots of space on
the stack and the cpu supress mask is probably not needed.
This patch removes the need for the supress mask as well as fixing up
the following problems with the kdb per_cpu command:
* The per_cpu command should allow an address as an argument
* When you have more data than can be displayed on one screen allow
the user to break out of the print loop.

The kdb shell needs to enforce switching back to the original CPU that
took the exception before restoring normal kernel execution. Resuming
from a different CPU than what took the original exception will cause
problems with spin locks that are freed from the a different processor
than had taken the lock.
The special logic in dbg_cpu_switch() can go away entirely with
because the state of what cpus want to be masters or slaves will
remain unchanged between entry and exit of the debug_core exception
context.

Nothing should try to use kdb_commands directly as sometimes it is
null. Instead, use the for_each_kdbcmd() iterator.
This particular problem dates back to the initial kdb merge (2.6.35),
but at that point nothing was dynamically unregistering commands from
the kdb shell.

In order to allow kernel modules to dynamically add a command to the
kdb shell the kdb_register, kdb_register_repeat, kdb_unregister, and
kdb_printf need to be exported as GPL symbols.
Any kernel module that adds a dynamic kdb shell function should only
need to include linux/kdb.h.

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.
